Default More power for the Wagon

In prep for this year's Sprint season the mods are at long last happening!
Last weekend I fitted new Sti scoop & Sti TMIC

Next weekend the car's off to Rich @ FB for:
VF43
Walbro
Pinks
Boost solenoid

Curretly running 275/280 so hoping for another 50+......

Also added this to window which has gotta be worth another 5hp...?!

Any reason you went for a VF43? I assumed they would work best on a 2.5L... Can expect around the 340 mark though!

VF34 or 18G might have been a better option for spool?

I had a few chats with Rich @ FB and we concluded the VF43.
Power & spool considered similar and, a newer turbo.......

Picked up the Speed Wagon today.......
Lovely!
Pulls like a train & keeps on going!
Nice smooth, linear power.

Rich has done a great job, attentive & informative as usual.

Now just gotta get a bit more used to it before the first sprint of the season!

Let me know if anybody needs a VGC TD04 and/or set of injectors.

Happy days
