idealy i'd go with new bigger injectors and forget the frp. You'd also be better of with ported o/e headers and a smaller up-pipe to aid spool. Harvey on here is the man for headers and up-pipes. Nothing wrong with the jap speed ones, just not whats best at your level.

Oh and make sure its a proper turbo and not a chinese copy

OEM ported headers and matched uppipe for your 20g will be ideal for 380 odd. Speak to harvey for expert advice of his products, etc. The correct optimum uppipe size can gain 150-300rpm in spool alone - which is highly desirable for a 20g on a 2.0L.

You would want to swap the plugs for PFR7B's (gapped to around 0.65mm) if not done already.

I would stick with Harvey ported headers and Harvey Up pipe,which will bring spool to lower RPM.
