GT2530 turbocharger / bolt-on setup.
If you are modifying an RB20-based setup, an easy bolt-on turbo upgrade is recommended. Choose a ball-bearing GT2530 turbo and acceleration above 4,000 rpm becomes dramatically sharper. A rough power target is about 340 hp at 1.4 bar boost. The GT2540 sacrifices low-speed response, so a high-lift cam would be desirable.
