Yo people, ive been talking to my tuner and hes Said I'm just a turbo upgrade, injectors and another remap away from 300Pluss bhp in my wrx. Hes just mapped it to 270bhp with exhaust, walbro fuel pump,sti tmic. Anyway question is how much do used sti Turbos usally go for?

 

Vf35 is uk sti turbo on average oh for £350

 

Ah right, are they good for around 340bhp? Ive only had the Scooby 3 month I'm happy with how it is at the moment I'm just curious as to the next step to take once im wanting to upgrade

 

Yes vf35 is good for 340-360 and its much easier to source than vf34.
Gearbox might give in at that level......to be fair even at 280 it can strip gears:P

 

VF34/5 normally go for around £350/400

 

Alot to think about before moving forward with the idea then lol

 

Td05 16g will be a cheaper option and a stronger turbo and will give you around 330hp

 

Straight swap without changing anything to?

 

Yes straight swap for any mentioned above

 

Nice, so apart from the gearbox os there any other common faults that go wrong, I know adding more power is gonna raise the chance of problems.

 

Nope, everything else is down to your mapper to avoid any problems.
Box should be fine depending how you use it and past history of it.

 

Cool, thanks for the info guys, I will look into this after Christmas. I had a Leon cupra before this at 200bhp so its a nice step up and known 300pluss bhp is not far away is awesome

 

What does the td05 16g turbo come on from factory?

 

Also what's safe bhp to run on the stock internals on the 2003 bugeye wrx?

 

a few on this site running around 340-50bhp with stock internals anything above 350 is pushing it.
440s will get you to 340ish with no probs

 

got mine for £200. Keep an eye on ebay

 

Seems pretty cheap and easy for decent power

 

got my TD05 for much less then £200 and in good working order at midlandssubarusprears and they do postage. All parts are used but they do 100% money back if your not happy so you don't have to worry about flebay scams . Been running my TD05 for over 3000miles now with no probs

Cheers, what power you running and injectors?

 

305.4bhp with 440cc injectors I could have got more 330-50bhp but my engines a bit old so mapper left it at 305. Click my name and go to profile. Should be a link to members gallery page. You can see my project most my mods are from midlandssubaruspears and the cars done over 3000miles sins mods and map

 

Ah cool, did you have to modify the turbo as I've read someit about converting it to front entry? I'll look at your page

 

'Bump' wanting to know if the td05 16g needs modified in anyway to fit a 2003 bugeye wrx?

 

No if it is made for Subaru application.

 

I got my 16G for less than £100.

If its a Subaru fitment turbo you will need to convert the compressor cover to front entry. I bought a pre machined one for £60.

TD05 flows more than a VF34/5 too.

 

Yeah I read someit about converting it to front entry, is it something that can be done yourself are not?

 

You can remove the compressor cover and have someone convert it, or buy one thats already done and just swap it over.

 

Is it worth looking for one already done or does it not cost much to get one converted after buying the turbo new?

 

Does the top/front entry not depend on what year it came from?

TD05 16g came as standard turbo on classic WRX

 

Do I need to change the stock uppipe or is it not essential?

 

Not essential, but why it's all off, it'd be a shame not to upgrade.
