TD 05 verses TD 05 20G for Sti v3

TD 05 verses TD 05 20G for Sti v3
Simple question:
Intend to change my stock Sti V3 turbo to the above.
Really want an AndyF hybrid, but is the TD 05 far behind the demon Andy F unit?
To go with the turbo will be Apexi FC and 550cc/Walbro/Gruppe S headers, oh, and an 'Andy map'.
I use the car on the road, but I really want a responsive torquey engine as I seriously hill climb the car in competition.
Not that bothered about the ££££ side, just is the difference REAL?

But did it on an AndyF special?

911, The only issue might be boost in the midrange. If you're planning on running up to about 1.7bar the 20G can start to surge (mine did). Otherwise the only advantage the 16G imho has is cost.

1.7 bar! Are you serious?!
thinking about an overall package here, not a rolling road one-off.
350 bhp and 320 ish lbft will do well, preferably on straight Optimax and low low lag.
Anti lag ok on the hills, BUT, they are all very niosey, and I know one Impreza that was very nearly stopped from running due to the crude banging (GEMS system)
I have a gearbox to think of too!

911, I have a very similar setup to what you are planning (although higher 9:1CR ), have been on a car with a deadbolt.com 20g turbo (very similar to one of Andy's turbos) and although it does make some boost at low rpms, I have found the stock FE TD05-16g to be slightly quicker to react to the throttle, and it would enough with a decent set of headers for your 350hp power goal.

before i put my td06 turbo on i ran a td05 and that ran 1.6/1.7 bar peak so the td06 turbo is gonna be better for you as you will only run 1.4 bar of boost

Sorry to be the thicko here, but:
My stock Sti v3 with a Blitz boost controller on straight Optimax ran 314 bhp @ 1.25 bar (Power Eng rollers). I now have it at 1.31 (where it crept to and stopped 12 months ago). This is with a full decat 3'' Magnex.
Today I hill climb on the same but with flowed stock headers and NF added (1/3 bottle for a tankfull).
With my planned set-up I would hope to get the turbo picking up at about 3500rpm or a bit sooner, and a fat flatish torque curve to about 6500 with minimum boost using a TD05AndyF unit/ApexiFC/Gruppe s etc, and 350 bhp should be 'easy' when mapped by Andy.
Sounds like I am hearing that the stock WRX TD05 will be the better 'allrounder' than the Andy F unit (obviously modified to front entry)..
If I later want to go further in bhp, then will the TD05 be the weak link? I'm thinking of 375/380bhp.
However, I am thinking I have my facts mixed up here; are there 3 levels of turbo:
1 Stock WRX TD05
2 TD05 16 G Hybrid
3 TD05 20G Hybrid.
Please remember I need a low lag torque bias engine for Hill climbing as Carlos well knows!
Porsches are much simpler!
Thanks for the interest from everyone.

911, keep it simple ..... the stock WRX TD05, just needs to be converted to front entry, and it IS a TD05 - 16g already, so no need to go hybrid. If you want more power you could always take it out and sent it to be converted to a 20g with a TD06 compressor cover (after all that is basically what a TD05 - 20g hyrbid is).
Sometimes you can actually see 1bar of boost at low rpms on your boost gauge, but it is not until a few hundrend rpms later that you really feel the engine pushing you .
Just to give u an idea, I went back to a TMIC just to get back the throttle reaction time, which I had lost when going to a FMIC, and now have increased the CR to aid to the reaction too. At least for me, it is all about throttle reaction time, and a nice torque delivery from 3500 - 6000 rpm. Keeping the rev limit sensible will also let you preserve your engine for quite a while.
At the end of the day, I feel that a setup similar to what Bob R. has on his STi ver. 9 will be ideal for hillclimbing. The twin scroll setup seems to be capable of >350hp easily, and has much more low end than any of the earlier or mentioned setups. This would involve in our case of: turbo (IHI VF37), oem twin scroll equal length headers, oil sump and downpipe. I have been very tempted to try it, will see how my new setup works and then will decide.

You know exactly what kind of engine characteristics I need Carlos!
There are several TD05 (stock) for sale at the moment, but will wait till the hill climb season is over before getting serious....
Next issue is the bearing side.
The WRX stock TD05 has plain bearings, I'm not sure if my Sti v3 has ball bearings (?), but just how much influence do bearings have on spool-up? I guess a lot as the 'better' turbo's have them.
As to twin-scroll.....I'll keep it simple thanks.

BTW the twin scroll units are the IHI VF36 & VF37.

OK! Getting a good picture now. I will ask AndyF closer to end-of-season if his hybrid has a ball race bearing system.
Now seems to be:
stock FE TD05 (16G) with ball races will do me down to the ground for 350/375/ish bhp with quick spooling.
Thanks again to everyone, sorry to be an apprentice on these matters, keen to learn, (and spend ££££ according to my wife..)
