You can make good power on the stock CT-26, fast enough for a daily, the money for a new turbo could go towards a better rebuild and even to rebuild your current turbo, thats just my opinion on a new turbo.

Now, if you plan to turn up the boost, new turbo or not, your going to hit fuel cut very quickly, so you will need to invest in some nice A/F controllers, MAFT Pro is a good one to start with.

Hope this helps, good luck.
do not rebuild your old turbo. huge waste of money. they dont last long and your better off buying a new one. suprasport is coming out with a stock replacement turbo with install kit and i think they said eithier a 425hp or/ 475hp. it probably cost like $900
