What supporting mods are you running now and is this turbo a true TME turbo or a replica of some sorts? Also, does this turbo (for $995) just bolt up to the regular stock setup or will I have to get some supporting mods? Thanks for the help!

If you want 400hp, you'll have a much easier time getting there with a 3071. A TME turbo fits into a 350-370whp plan.
The 'TME' turbo is a direct replacement for the stock turbo.
FWIW, installing bigger injectors will not bring a TME setup from 326whp to 400whp.

The TME fits into whatever plan you want. It does bolt right up like the stock one because it's the exact same turbo essentially. It's still a twin scroll 16g, but the impellar( part that spins) is titanium, which gives you the better and qiucker spool with more overhead than the stock turbo as well. The TME turbo comes with the bigger 10.5 hotside like all the 05's get. The bigger hotside plus the titanium turbo= much better hp and tq than the hotside alone.

The TME does not fit into any plan much over 370whp.
The TME's larger hotside enhances midrange torque. Peak power is about the same as the factory turbo. The Ti wheel helps it to spool a little quicker, which offsets the slightly reduced gas velocity due to the larger hotside.
