For 250 WHP you don’t even really need to change the stock turbo! Leave the turbo alone, or go GT28RS or larger. Anything smaller than a GT28 is just wasting money. ---

Smoked side markers would look good. And debadging those cars cleans them up immensely. ---

You NEED to change the Turbo.The K03/s is way to small. Its possible but Pretty much pointless. ---
