got a uk99 with tek3 full stainless including headers and upipe, sti intercooler and water injection also have a lightened flywheel and an RA box the car pulls really well low down and i want to keep this sort of acceleration but i want to add another turbo, have in my possesion a tdo5 but im unsure wether to put this on or not i would like a turbo that would pull from 3000rpm or lower and hold a good line if possible.

 

Stick with the TD05

As a tuner I get often the question: "I would like to have over 300 HP in my Subaru and the turbo should produce full boost at around 3000 RPM, if possible at 2500 RPM"

This is IMPOSSIBLE when you keep your 2.0 litre engine! If you want full boost below 3000 RPM, stick with the TD04. If you want more than about 270 - 280 HP, take another turbo. (eg. TD05) I see you have already a TD05, that one is capable to give you nice HP. Don't expect it to give max. boost at 3000 though......

was in a car yesterday with a tdo5 on mapped and R&R'd 320ish and the turbo didnt really come in till after 4000rpm which was making me unsure of the tdo5 apart from gearbox and flywheel his mods are the same as mine

A TD05 should make a bar of boost at 3200/3300 rpm and peak within 300 rpm depending on set boost. That will depend on mods in addition.

I agree with Bob - my car is sporting one of these td05-16g's, and it's on full chat (1.5 bar) from 3600 rpm and onwards. 1 bar is reached around 3200 rpm....meaning it's very driveable from as low as 2500 where it starts to come on song.
