Default Hybrid turbo advice

Hi guys,

Ive got a mk1 FRS. Ive owned the car for about 4 years now. Its relatively standard, I have a straight through miltek system with tubular manifold ready to go on. However the turbo oil seals have recently blown.....so i want to send off to pumaspeed and get a hybrid.

Id like to get around 350 ish bhp from the car. Just got a couple of questions regarding tuning.

What forge actuator spring should I get with the hybrid?
Should I upgrade the chargecooler rad, or go straight with an a2a front mount intercooler?
Is a Gen 2 K and N sufficient ?
Do I need to think about upgrading the fuel supply system?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as Im trying to build most of this at home!!

Cheers,

Toby

if heading for 350bhp i'd be investing in some steel rods, they seem pretty good as standard, but they aren't that good to withstand big forces, certainly wouldn't risk it myself.
bigger injectors would be a very good idea, to be honest speak to a tuner, they will have to sort the map on the ecu afterall, if not go aftermarket.

Standard charge cooler is fine too mate you will find your car more laggy with a2a and try get a Ggr cais miles better than the gen 2 as for fuelling get a pump from dpc he dose a dw conversion
