It's at its limit in Stock form so you can't mod it.

Increasing the inlet size, better cooling and some good tuning is where it's at.

... Nissan needs to use these shocks on the GT-R.  It would be like the Incredible Hulk wielding Thor's hammer.... unstoppable.

I was going to say these things come off so you can at least swap the turbo, but then I don't know what will happen with all this high tech sensor stuff. IMO money would be better spent on an LSD and getting the paddle shifts to respond within less than 2 seconds. Nissan needs to leverage that GT-R tech

The sensors are probably at least good for the turbo's lifespan

Some of that sensor crap can be coded out, but you're talking big noney if you want to upgrade turbos. Nissan purposely made the turbos small and provided a lot of auxiliary cooling and monitoring because they wanted these turbos at the limit. With such a low ceiling, you can't mod these cars...
