Help with upgrading turbos?

Hello, I have an 07 turbo with 3" exhaust, filter, clutch and tune. I am looking into upgrading to 3076r's. What is needed to do this upgrade? Is it possible to use stock headers? I'm not looking to go over board or max the turbos, I just want more power on pump gas. If someone can write me a list of what is necessary I would appreciate it, thanks!

How much power do you want to the wheels on pump gas? If max power is not your main concern, maybe there's a VTG option out there that will meet your needs...

If you go for the Tial Alpha turbos you can use the stock headers although you might need some higher flowing headers but you can always try it first and change at a later date if the funds are low.


You will also need bigger injectors possibly 850cc and an external boost controller plus some intercoolers and a Y-pipe with blow off or recirc valves.
