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

580-610hp is not too bad, but it needs bigger turbo's for sure to compete with faster cars. Otherwise, that won't be enough to beat cars like Z06's with bolt-ons, chipped SL65 AMG's, or new Porsche GT2. 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.
How would you go about getting 700-800bhp from these GTR's? Do you need to beef up the internals or will bigger turbo's and some bolt-ons do the trick?
