should I switch to K24, the difference will be very "dramatic"? i know that maybe 50hp more, I really don't know what to do...
if i will take them to a good price maybe i will buy them but then what should i change again or what to add?!

When I was planning my upgrades, I spoke with several of the tuners here, and chose UMW because I thought Kevin's kit best suited my needs. We discussed how I use the car (DE's on road courses), and my tolerance for risk. I'd suggest that you do the same, that is talk to several tuners and see what package best suits your needs.
Good luck,
Jon

Go with hybrid turbos (be it K24/18, some sort of k16 variant, etc.) if you are going to upgrade turbos. I don't think the labor costs involved with going from k16 to k24s and the costs associated with re-flashing your ECU justifies the ~50hp gain.

getting k24s is worthless... unless you upgrade them to 18gs, maybe port and polish with a clipped turbine wheel.. add 1 bar Wg springs,5 bar FPR, EBC and your flying... run 1.15 bar on pump and 1.35 on 100 or 104... then if your really interested do some good replacement ICs, injectors, good custom tune and you could run 1.3 bar on pump... that will give you 600rwhp.. well thats what we do at least...

I think being you have a TIP.. you need to speak with a tuner that knows the TIPS, I heard some packages that work well on the 6 speed cars dont work as well on our TIP cars

to answer the question, I went from 16's to 24's- the difference was little lag but much more power up top- very noticeable. Of course, what others have said regarding hybrid turbos makes sense if you are going to spend the money.
good luck!
good luck!

guys don't forget that i have a tip and i don't want to spend 4000euro to upgrade it, too much money in these days, so the hp must be not so high.
so if I will do only k24 it will not be a very big difference, only more power at the top...
thanks guys!

Alex, I don't think the tip will have problems holding 500-550 whp..
I'm in the exact same situation, and I trust what Mark says.
I know a few k24 TT's here, but noone of them is nearly as fast as the Punisher's 18g car....just look at his vids for example, he eats every car with ease, including chipped 7GT2's, LP560,GTR's...
I say stick to your k16 or do a proper job upgrading to 18g's or other hybrids (even a 16g is a bigger wheel than the straight k24 for example).
