So I've got a blobeye wrx 2005 with PPP but I've being collecting parts for this year to go even bigger power, so car I've got....
Uprated fuel pump
Panel filter
Full catback system
De cat up pipe
De cat down pipe
3 port boost solenoid
Sti inlet manifold with tgv deletes
Pink 550cc injectors
Sti tmic & undertray

My question is do I keep the sti tmic I sourced or do I sell that & run a fmic instead what would be the pros & cons of this? Any help appreciated

 

Depends what turbo your planning on using and what power you're after, front mount is only going to mean you chop the bumper up and introduce lag.

Personally I'd sell all those parts and get some better brakes and decent suspension set up, then you won't need anymore power.

 

Forgot to add I've already got decent setup on that side, also forgot to add I've a vf35 turbo also waiting to be bolted on lol

 

In that case I'd stick with the top mount unless you really like lag, as it's going to be extra laggy anyway, with the vf35 you're not going to see much action before 4krpm and you'll only be adding to that with a front mount, may get slightly larger numbers but you'll be ringing it's neck to use them.

Hope you realise that in real terms under 100mph your car won't actually be any faster, you'd be better off fitting a SC32 which is a hybred TD04 if you want it to go like a scolded cat, it will only see around the 310/320bhp mark but it will get you where your going a lot quicker and cost similar money to the vf35.
