What size turbo is best and where to buy?

I just purchased a 99 V70XC and I would like to increase the boost.

I was looking at a 18T turbo with a green tune. Do you guys have any other suggestions?

I am assuming that I would need to go up one size injectors also?

Where is a good place to buy these turbos where they won't bend me over on price?

I am not new to boosting but I am very new to Volvos!

If you know turbos well I would talk to salvage yards and scan the for sale sections on this site and volvospeed. IPD sells new ones but they are 1300 or so. It's a brand new Volvo OEM part so you're just not gonna find a steal on a new one.

A lot of people look for 18ts and such. Just wanted to pass on that for whatever reason turbobricks for sale section seems to have way more of the harder to find items. I've been looking over there for a few weeks and have seen a lot of cool stuff at fair prices. Maybe it's just a spring cleaning thing, who knows.

Just fyi: I have no financial relationship with that site, just a newer member, and I have nothing for sale there. But I know how frustrating finding affordable parts can be and wanted to pass it on.
