Newbie+help!
First off, wanted to say hi, im a newbie on here.....just bought my first scoob, its an RB5 no.173. Let the modding begin!
Can you boys and girls tell me which FMIC and turbo would be best suited to my car as theres so many to choose from...this being my first scoob im a bit puzzzled.
I was thinking A forestTD05/6 + a greddy front mount.
Some people have told me to lose the oem and go for garrett
and as for the coolers, there loads.....HKS,APS, BLITZ, APEXI, HYBRID, and they all look good but dont know which to go for.
Help!

I have experience of fiting the HKS and hybrid.
The hybrid is great value for money, but it is a bit invloved to fit with a fair bit of metalwork involved. working great on my car with around 380 bhp. The core is built like a brick **** house - bit of a wieght penalty but will be hardy for daily use.
The HKS was a lot lighter, and pretty much a straight bolt on - As the APS and hyperflow ones are.
The other ones you mention i have no experience off so cant coment.
The big difference in price from the hybrid to the others makes it a difficult decision. I would prefer an APS/HKS or something like that but unless you can get a second hand one the hybrid is hard to beat.
