I haven't seen this done yet, but I am assuming that maybe the stock turbos can get some work done to them (hybrid) or there will be a simple turbo-swap kit out for the GT-R soon. I bet that the stock internals are very tough on the VR38. Only time will tell...and those with enough ***** to see what this engine can handle. If I had this car, I'd probably max out the stock turbos, mod the cooling system, more free flowing exhaust, help it breath better...and throw a 150 shot on it and I'd be good to go for the streets. Another thing I wonder about is the stock clutches on the DSG

I'm not even talking about twin-turbo vette's and viper's or 700hp+ Supra's... the poor GTR would get eaten alive by these cars.

You could get 700-800bhp from a stock block GTR, but at that level you have to start thinking about fuel delivery and whether you'll need more, plus you'll need to find room for those new turbos and have a way to completely circumvent the pesky computer. Also from what I'm told the intercoolers are maxed out for the available space in the car, so you'll probably need to go to a FMIC setup which will require some hacking.
