    Default Spec-V Turbo

    I have been doing alot of reading on my 2003 Spec-V and i am considering put a turbo in. I have heard that the QR25DE has a lot of problems handling moderate levels of boost. Does any one have any suggestions on what brand of turbos, tuning software, and internals i should use?

    check/click my sig.

    Stock block, Treadstone turbo kit, Zeitronix data logger.

    I did the design, fab, and testing on the kit for Treadstone, so I know a thing or two about these cars and this set up.

    the 02-03 motors are hit and miss, the 04+ motors are significantly better.

    I run anywhere between 7-9 daily, the motor has seen 10.5-11 and has been boosted for about 20k miles.
