Right i am going to upgrade the VI again while it's in for having the front and rear AP Brake conversion done and Wondered what turbo you guy's would go for?

I have decided to go for the HKS GTII as this does look a very good turbo upgrade if fitted/mapped correctly!

Question is What benefit's would i get from the S205B over the HKS GTII? I know power for one but i have read a fair few time's that 450/450 in a VI is more than enough and anything over that really is just un-useable? Is this correct?

I Know the HKS has had issue's in the past but that seems to be on the newer car's running way to much boost and being smashed around a track all day which my car won't be and it will be fitted/mapped correctly!

Your thought's would be welcome on this and if anybody is running a VI with 450/450 please let me know what the car is like generally please:razz:

Before our IV came off the road it was around 490/510 and was an absolute hoot to drive on the road.

450 will be very usable IMO.

Don't know much about either turbo to be honest but I'd say go with whichever will spool fastest on your engine, even if it sacrifices a bit of power.
