Bigger Throttle Body or Upgraded VTG's
I'm looking for my next upgrade (1 step at a time) and was considering upgrading the VTG's but then thought maybe a bigger 83mm TB would be the better next step.
I'm looking for really strong bottom and mid-range for digging out of corners more than having power on the top end.
And I can guess that doing both is the REAL way to go but 1 step at a time.
Opinions? Thanks.
Oh, car has headers, IPD plenum, Fabspeed intake, 3.5" IC's, Europipe S2 exhaust, Evo flash (525whp), BRV's on the way.

With the bigger TB/Plenum you will loose TQ bottom end (lower RPM).
I would do the upgraded VTG, billet compressor wheel having less mass then cast wheel will spool up faster.
Champion has a great deal on their upgraded VTG Turbos $1995 can't beat that.

VTG is an easy Choice.. the TB will support the larger VTG's later not vice versa.. I didnt forget you either.. Im working on the VTG pricing for you..

oooooooh, me likey very much.
135mph with upgraded vtgs, and notBIG turbos??????? Now you're talking. I assume this is just upgraded wheels in the stock vtgs, right? Dear diary, my future power path must include the ability to get into 130s in the quarter.
