Turbo questions
I don't know if this question has been asked or not, i did some searching and couldn't find a definite answer.
What is the largest turbo you can fit or has been fitted in the stock airbox location?
i have an 05 g35 coupe 6mt that is turbo already (stock bottom end still) and I want to upgrade the turbo.
I picked up a borg warner s360 turbo and side by side comparison to my existing shows it may not fit. A mid mount setup is an option but i'd prefer not to.
No matter what i have to change all the piping to fulfill the needs of the bigger turbo so if I have to go mid mount then so be it but I do feel more comfortable with the turbo sitting up in the engine bay.

Thanks Highway - was advised by a friend to go with this but he apparently didn't put into consideration the physical size of it.
I just got it a few days ago and am more than likely going to send it back.
Def more helpful than asking me "why" lol.
I will say this though, my buddy has an sc300 with a 2JZ GTE swap and is pretty familiar with those motors. I feel as if he would've told me if it's too big for a supra.
Would appreciate some more answers if anyone has any insight.

No p.. Well it isn't too big for a supra at all. It's physically large but not too big. I have a 2 JZGTE powered SC and most likely will use the turbo you mention. and I might have issues clearing some of the manifold runners but I may use a QSV to compensate. Disconnect the battery and take the airbox out and test fit it for shizz and giggles...
I Want this turbo to work because after i get the block done i want to be around the 600 hp range until i get bored and want more.
