You have 440cc injectors already in a my2000 so they will be fine,full decat,walbro pump to be safe,poss intercooler upgrade to a later larger one and an ecutek remap or a power fc as a basic set up...could do more depending on budget and further upgrades..... i went TD05 16g

Then you can have the peasure of deciding which turbo to upgrade to...... pro's and con's for either of your choices,plus othrs that will be put up for consideration..... td series are robust and give good mid to top end power,sometimes at the expence of other items ie gearbox...... vf series spool slightly earlier and are kinder to trans but not so robust and can suffer from blade problems..... await loads of advice.

View my Scooby.
Sti intercooler £250
VF28 £200
FPR £200
Remap £600
The other mods were on my car when I got it.
From standard spec to this is a massive hike so budget for a clutch within 2 weeks (£600 fitted)

You don't need an FPR at this level, but you may benefit from 550 injectors, 440s will be hard pushed. I very much doubt a vf28 will give you a genuine 350bhp. Have a look at my spec and the review

If you WANT 350bhp go for the 16g in my view. If you'd be happy with the quickest spooling solid 3330-340ish bhp with an FMIC in addition to my mods, go for the VF35 all the way!![Smile](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
