TURBO TOPIC
Want to change my turbo, any advice on what to get and how much i should look to pay? Got a 2004 wrx, changed the TMIC to sti, put a full hayward & scott exhaust inc decat and up pipe, flat panel filter, HKS SSQV, had a remap twice now AND RUNNING 285BHP...
Just want to break 300bhp, going to put pink injectors in and wondering how to water cool my TMIC. Any advice would be great

A VF34, 35 or 43 would be nice for your setup, but I wouldn't bother with the water spray. Any of the above turbo would see to well past 300bhp and are available s/h quite often.

Is changing the turbo something that could be done at home with out too many probs?
I've seen guys say stick loads of wd40 on the turbo over a few days prior removal.
Difficulty rating out of ten?

Either the 34 or 35 would do the same job... me personally, I had the 35 and was happy with the result, but quizz the guys on here about it... start a new thread... "34 or 35?"
As long as you dont get a twin scroll you'll be alright. Eventho the twin scroll is the nuts, it means changing your down pipe etc.
ASIANGUNNER - changing the turbo is a fairly big job, but the problem lies in the studs that join the turbo to the down pipe... there's only a couple studs, but they will be rusted on to f*** and if you snap one of those you got big problems!!!
