Bigger Turbo????
hey all. so i had my 2000 s40 tuned. its running 12 psi boost through the tune. no boost controller. Would i be able to upgrade the 12t turbo to a 14t turbo without changing anything? im assuming the computer would allow the TCV to control the boost but i would have a bit more pop and flow from the slightly larger turbo? is this correct? I was told by the tuner i could just bolt the larger turbo on but i wanted to make sure.
I was also going to slightly modify my stock turbo. i was going to get a slightly uprated CBV from forge and the snabb TCV. anyone used uprated springs in the cbv?
also how much can my motor take. i have the b4204t2 or t3 i beleive. Id like to run as much boost and hp as possible while still being a nice daily driver. I like the 12psi im running now but i think maybe a slightly bigger turbo will give it a little more pop and let the boost hit a little harder up to that 12psi level?

I did look into the 14t but i could only find a single scroll not a twin scroll which i wanted. i did find a twin scroll 19t but i dont know if the motor could pull it off if i just bolted it on. and even if it would just bolt on a run with my tune and be controlled by the factory boost sensors there would probably be a crap load of lag.
