    Is there a list of how much horsepower to be expected from whatever kind of turbos? Personally I wanted to ask what turbo should I buy if I am aiming for 300whp as a daily driver (2.0L).

    I'd sell your car and get an STI if you want over 300whp. The EJ20 as well as tranny are not reliable over those power levels.

    Getting above 300whp on an EJ20 is pretty hard, you're going to need at least a 16G plus meth. Meth injection will be a must if you want those kind of numbers unless you want to run a 20G or similarly sized turbo.

    I wanted to sell it and I still do but I don't think anybody wants to buy a car with 100k+ miles on it for 9500. so I have decided to keep it.

    Thank you very much for the link <3

    Throw it on IA and it'll probably sell. I'd say 10K so that the lowballers will throw out 9500.:wavey:

    Good luck.
