Look at my signature. 225whp with a SR20 turbo. Very cheap to obtain, cheap to rebuild, fast spool, etc. The dyno was on a stock '99 1.8 liter with 460cc injectors, running approx 12psi. What year is your engine?

Don't look at my dyno thread. I'm at 155 with power that flat lines at 5000ish rpms due to a crappy 2.5" exhaust choking it off. BUT it shows that with a smaller engine, 2psi less than thirdgen's dyno, and a shitty exhaust I'm only 65hp off your goal.
Just do yourself a favor and get 3" exhaust and hopefully no cat.

i got 225 rwhp with a pretty aggressive tune, 2.5" dp, 3" exhaust, 550cc, fmic
i got 206 on a different dyno with stupidly conservative timing.
Both on a stock 96 1.8 and about 12-14 psi
Dirt cheap and pretty easy to rebuild too.

I upgraded to the inconel M10's and and gave up on running gaskets on the downpipe surfaces.
My last track day was at wastegate pressure with the original m8 studs and **** got loose.

Savington ran a 2554 on the track for a good while. I believe his turbo was fine, he just could never get it to stay connected to the manifold. This was long before he made the Inconel studs. If you are running TSE Inconel studs I would think a 2554 would be fine. The only downside to the turbo is that the topend torque drops off a ton.

In case you were wondering, gt2554 is pretty much the same as sr20 t25. I think the turbine wheel in the sr20 is actually .1mm bigger or something. They are so close in size it's ridiculous. If you're concerned if the sr20 turbo will make enough power, find a blown s14 turbo with a good compressor and swap the compressor and wheel. The basic sr20 t25 uses a 56mm 60 trim compressor wheel, while the s14 uses a 60mm 60 trim wheel. The upgrade takes it from a gt2554 sized turbo to a gt2560 sized turbo.
