fp seems to be pretty popular, either a green or red will get you there

What's your current setup? I'd suggest skipping on the bigger turbo right off the bat. I would go with the usual start. TBE, Intake, Cams, Fuel Injectors, 255 fuel pump and tune. That's pretty much the price you're gonna pay for a turbo but you'll have better results. These cars are super simple to add power. That should get you into the mid to upper 300's. Prices will vary depending on if you find the stuff new or used.

TBE $500
Intake $200
Cams $600
Fuel Injectors $300
Fuel Pump $80
Tune $150 - $400 (depending on if you tune it or a shop)

Once you hit that number, you'll want more. Then when you have more, you'll want more. You may as well get the process started and save yourself the troubles later on.

I would say HTA Green or the Red. Def going to need cams, I would go with Kelfords 272, GSC S2, FP4rs. You will def be able to make 400 on that setup!

Depends on your $ range

The FP turbos are popular , My Favorite is The FP Green

I have an FP Red for sale if you are interested

On 91 octane I would limit my choice to one of the following three turbos:

1) CBRD BBK-Full, 2) FP HTA Green, or 3) HKS 7640R. If you want a little more topend power then I'd also include the CBRD BBK-B, and the FP Red.

In Bangladesh can you actually get 91 octane (Research + Motor/2) pump gasoline? Don't they use strictly the Research Octane Number(RON) method to rate their gasoline over there? A straight 91 octane R.O.N. pump gas would be lower octane than 91 octane R+M/2 pump gas.
