If i was to upgrade my 2001 WRX which would be the best turbo to use and why?

Thanks for your help.

TD05h 18G or TD05h 20G from deadbolt enterprises
www.boostplanet.com

the 18g slightly less laggy and has less top end than the 20g
the 20g is awesome, less lag than vf23 and more top end than vf22 by FAR
the vf 34 and 35 arent even in the same league

 

Depend what power target you have.
The VFs for a gearbox friendly 350 bhp (but can be forced higher).
TD05 varieties for higher targets.

Andy Forest does some very good modified Turbos.
I would check out his web site first.

for a wrx , I would consider a TD05-16gFE. this on the wrx rev limit will feel more suited , the 20g peaks a bit too high for non-sti limits imo.

 

TD05-16g (and above) can produce more torque than your gearbox can handle.

Be better if you told us what your goals are?

 

Thanks for your replys, all i'm after is good pulling power, 300bhp & the same torque roughly.

I would look closely at the VF series.

Also consider one of AndyFs TD04 Hybrids.

the vf35 on my Forester even in on the current td04 map is night/day compared to the old snail....

Somewhere around 300/300 is the goal, but retaining the drivability of the small turbo.

Thanks again guys, my scoob is my everyday car 18,000 a yr so still want a good driver too.
Thanks

I'd go for the TD04 Hybrid Paul.

Easy 300bhp and similar torque but full boost from 2600rpm unlike either the vf35 or td05.

Here is a recent run at PE on an 01 WRX with a sports cat. 1.4 bar mid, 1.0 bar at the top

90% of full of torque available from 2500rpm to 6500rpm

 

thats an impressive torque curve

 

hello Andy,
I have read on here about the hybrid TD04 that you have. I am interested in one. Question is I have a remap (ecutek on MY01) can you remap to enable the turbo to be effective.

Yours
Peter

 

Ditto SteveM

VF35 to replace my TDO4 in my Forester St/b

 

Yes, that is not a problem

Andy

 

Thanks Andy,

What price do these come in at?

Edited due to commercial content.

 

Managed to get myself a good condition TD05, should i get it recond and cleaned up.

Andy F. can you do this when it gets changed to a front entry or do you know who does?

Thanks

Ricey

 

Thats my speciality Paul I'll check it out, if in good condition then it may not require a full rebuild.

Andy

 

the postie for port seton must be well chuffed with all the heavy boxes delivered all year round lol

 

I believe they are £400+vat on exchange basis or £600+vat non-exchange, from AndyF.

I would also recommend his mapping services
