I have a 97 GSX with ACT 2600 clutch, catback exhaust, boost controller and running at 15 psi on my stock t25. I want to upgrade to a bigger turbo but I can't get a front mount yet because of my parents. So I was wondering what are your thoughts on upgrading to a 14b and a supra side mount? With a supra side mount it will just look stock from the outside and my parents wont know I did anything. Also, what supporting mods would I need for a 14b upgrade, if any? I know it may not be the best upgrade but I think it would at least be better than my t25. I'm tired of getting harassed on the road and not being able to do anything about it.

T28/Big28 would probably be your best bet.

I agree with Kracka. Either that or a 16g (small/big/evo) would do you just fine also. Your going to get sick of the 14b after awhile and be askin the same question again. So I'd save up over winter and just start slowly buying things. I'd get bigger injectors, fuel pump, S-AFC or DSMLink, and a 16g or T28. Good luck.

you could also run a 20g with a supra sidemount if you have the other supporting mods. I ran it without a problem that way at least

Plus the T28 is a stock bolt on, unlike anything else including 14b's. Nice, easy and simple. The stock IC is good enough unless you're going to run crazy boost.

Get a FP Big28 or a T28 or something like that.

Also, I didn't see a downpipe listed, or I am just blind, who knows which. Get a 2 1/2 or 3in downpipe as well, that will show some gains.

Alright, thanks everyone. I want some power but not too much for right now so I think I'm going to go with the t28 and leave the stock intercooler. And yea I need a downpipe. With the crankwalk nightmares I've been having I'd rather wait to go big so not to help speed up the process. :) .. yes two days in a row, I've had crankwalk nightmares lol.
