a MD 321H will get you 400bhp with very quick spool up ....best turbo for a 2litre

make sure it is a decent 20g as jaw warehouse ones don't seem to be as good as the tried and tested ones.

I have an Andy Forrest 20g on my 03 sti and it makes 380bhp at 1.5bar on V power. AVCR shows 1.5bar by 3400rpm so good early boost.

321H is an excellent turbo too but a fair bit more expensive than a 20g.
all depends on your power aims

The questions you need to ask yourself are :-

What power am I running now and what power do I want?

How many supporting mods do I need for the power hike?

How much extra will it cost for my insurance?

So basically if your running 300bhp for instance, stick with the VF35 and map that up with supporting mods, should give you around 350bhp, and be wary of buying off ebay, especially off people with low ratings, sometimes better to spend that little extra and get the job done with the right working tools rather than something a little "dodgier"
