For starters, a stock GTT makes about 170 kilowatts I think which is around the 230 HP mark anyway so you might even achieve your goal of 300 HP with some minor upgrades such as better airfilter, intercooler, exhaust and a good tune so you may not need a bigger turbo upgrade as your goal is fairly low.

Having $4,000 is a good start. But if you’re chasing bigger power,  I suggest you look up some performance workshops and ask them for prices on some turbo combo upgrades but bear in mind you may have to upgrade other things like brakes and will need a tune. There are too many options and opinions so you’re better off talking directly to the people that will do the work for cost estimates.

Try giving Chasers Motorworks, Performance Plus or Advanced Turbo Performance a call if you’re closer to the western suburbs.

Good luck!

Stock Neo is 206 kW at the engine.....therefore about 150 at the wheels.  The most they can be pushed to without risking turbo destruction and/or running out of injector is ~200-210rwkW (and more like a realistic 200rwkW, not an optimistic 210!).  That's well shy of 300HP at the wheels.

Minimum spend is;

Hypergear highflow, ca. $1k

Injectors, ca $600

Fuel pump, ca $300

Z32 AFM, ca $300

Nistune + tune, ca $1200.

But you wouldn't do these things without an exhaust and frontmount.  If you have them already, great, but otherwise you need another couple of thou.  $4k is just a little bit shy of what would be good to have to spend.

    • There are certain tasks, like replacing head gaskets, where it is very much best to already know what you are doing, and if you are not already an expert, then the next best thing is to have an expert around to help it get done. Little annoying checks and steps that are easy to forget or not interpret the results of properly, etc etc. It is hard to convey that to someone as a lesson prior to taking on a job, because there can be a whole list of "if you see this then it means that", or "if this is what you find then you will need to do these other 4 steps first". All the little bits of knowledge around sealant choice (ie, sealant at all? or no sealant? sealant only in certain parts of the gasket? sealant for this type of gasket but not that type of gasket? etc etc) cleanliness checks and methods, surface straightness and finish checks and methods, etc etc, all combine to mean that people who have done many of the same type of job will struggle less to get a good result than someone who hasn't done it before. I've been around this stuff since forever. But I will still consult with my expert(s) before taking on the big stuff with higher risk profile.
    • Well if I end up having to do the head gasket I will certainly find the necessary tools and instructions before beginning... Let's hope it won't come around.   Definitely. Depends on the job but I think "if you want it done right, do it yourself" applies almost every time
    • Can you at least move to a location without so many ladders, black cats and mirrors precariously propped up ready to be knocked down? Or buy yourself a 1 ton bulker bag of salt to drag around with you. Just, you know, sling it over your shoulder?
    • Meh, what's the worst that can happen? If is is supposed to have a washer, and: the spring retainer seals reasonably well on the surface, maybe just allowing a little bleed of oil out, and the spring does not coil bind when compressed that little extra bit, then the end result will be slightly higher relief pressure setpoint, and no other noticeable effects.
    • Weirdly I see a flat washer on aftermarket pumps but as you said it doesn't seem like new OEM pumps have it. EPC doesn't break out the regulator as a separate component either. I'm guessing if the pump came that way it's safe to use as-is.
