Default what turbo to put on my focus rs?

this month im fitting a front mounted intercooler on my rs, while im doing it i want to change the turbo.

i know you can but turbo kits off puma speed and other companys but i find these to expensive.

my friend offered me his gt28 off his 200sx, but i understand these are only good for 300bhp???

i was considering the t3 turbo, however i am still running the standard manifold.

also does anybody know if the ecu are remapable?

any help will be good

not much point upgrading the turbo if your using the standard manifold, you would be better changing the manifold & running a standard turbo.

Know its an old thread, so apologies.

I would say get a SCC GT28 rollerbearing turbo. They are the mutts IMO. Will need a boost controller for it though. Actuator alone won't see big numbers.
Carries a little lag, which is actually nice to have as you can use the torque to get yourself going and then the turbo comes on & wallop.

Get loadsa chatter too
