Hi guys,

I was contemplating on what setup I should use for a 2005 WRX (blobeye) which with supporting mods would hopefully reach around the 330hp mark.

The turbo would be used and I heard that the VF30 can be a bit laggy at low RPMs (below 3000) so would a billet compressor wheel fix that? This is the one I had in mind:

The VF30's seem to be cheaper than the VF34 so I was wondering whether for the price of a billet compressor wheel plus the turbo would it be a better combination than the use of a VF34?

There is also the other option of getting a VF35 which I know is a decent turbo but I was a bit unsure whether going down the route of a billet VF30 or VF34 would be the better alternative .

depends what you want and what your budget is, if you stretch to it then sc32 or 36 woud be great choices, but not likley to find em second hand.

I know that there was a billet SC36 for sale recently for around £650 I think? My budget is around 350-450 which I know is enough for a VF34 or a VF30 plus a billet compressor wheel but I don't know whether putting a billet wheel in a VF30 would be worth it rather than a standard VF34.

no idea on the billet vf30 idea, but vf34 does a good job. my old classic had one on it





fair long list of mods though, front mount, autronics ecu, ppg gearbox etc etc

Looks good, what was it like for daily use? Such as at low RPMs, top end, etc.

heres my blob with vf35/rcm headers/full decat/rcm induction kit/rcm 340 fuel pump/650cc injectors

Nice, is that with a forged build and 6 speed? As even though my blob has only done shy of 56k and has stainless steel headgaskets I wouldn't want to blow my engine and gearbox hence why I am opting for 330hp.

i think it did let go after that or was that after it was rebuilt shrek?

mine was on standard uk turbo engine with about 90k on it hahaha, i think mine would have benefited from header upgrade as well, shame cos guy who bought it crashed it so never got to find out

User 21721

That's a shame, my classic is running 340bhp but the engine seized after having some fun on the way back from Lydden Hill. On the plus side I still have got ago of memories of keeping up with a gallardo, R8 V10 which was killed off by what seemed an extremely modified A4 estate diesel aswell as a tuned ST and tracked prepared MK2 GTi.

Now it's running a V2 STi long engine with forged pistons, cometec headgaskets, oil pump, etc and purring once again .

I have decided to go down the route of buying a Kinugawa after the good results and reviews as well as the unbeatable prices

my oil pump failed on the day of mapping-just done the last run on the dyno when the dreaded death-rattle came calling.................not happy.

replaced engine with a 2003 v8 sti long engine and been fine ever since

Have you considered a billet td04 or td05? Braveheart sti is your man, they are proven and he makes andy forests turbos I believe, cheaper than the kingua too.

Billet tdo4 is good for 320/330 with supporting mods, giant slaying spool too, if your not a high speed merchant it's where it's at for low down and midrange go up to silly speeds on the road anyway, perfect for a daily IMO.

My SC32 is for sale but, I don't know what sort of money to ask. It's in excellent condition and was running 305 so not pushed? I'm in Wiltshire

Ditchmyster, is the billet TD04 the same as the TD04 hybrid or are they two separate turbos?
