TSL 353 Package.
Hi guys. TSL motorsport offer a 353bhp package but for the life of me i cant get any other specs of the conversion other than 353bhp/350lbs.ft.
Anyone on here that runs this conversion? What i need to know is what rpm it spools from? Is there more lag than the 333bhp package i am running now?

Thats what i am not sure about, if you are winding more out of a turbo surely somewhere you lose out. Also from the 333 conversion to the 353 they add some fancy header. As much as i read about those i hear they can be laggy.
It would be nice if you are right Jeff.

I was informed the other week that TSL were no more..... not sure whether that is actually fact.
Regardless, Tracktive Solutions get my vote.

If you are running the std turbo on your 2005 STI then 353bhp is going to be a struggle for sure, you will be wringing the neck out of the turbo and you'll be lucky to make 350 consistently if at all!

Thats why i was so impressed with TSL's claim of 353bhp. To be honest i am not that worried adout the bhp its really the torque i am chasing. I really dont mind changing the turbo, the only thing holding me back is the lag. I dont want to slap on a huge turbo and have loads of lag. I need to do a lot more research on here to see what i can run for that torque with as little lag as i can. Pity the twin scroll path is so expensive.

Trust me they have gone, i had a run in with graham, he only liked you if you were spending big money, other wise he did'nt want to know, i was close to showing him some AIKEDO skills i have aquired over the years.

Just have a look at TSL's website...........
http://www.tsl-motorsport.co.uk/
Looks like it's been split up. TSL online only and some tuning business at their old gaff. The TSL Classics link is not working though LOL
It all seemed to go downhill pretty quick after Trouser left.

My mate got SOME of the money he was owed by taking his Hungarian girlfriend with him. She's nice looking, but a bit forceful, shall we say?
Apparently Graham was ready for running.................

Shame,
I was there as soon as my bug-eye was run-in for a catted dp + Group N BB, very nice quality and looked as good as new when I finally moved to a full 3" system.

I had the diamond package from Tracktive 350/350 made a very nice daily driver all on standard turbo.

I heard they were gone too but do not know for sure.
Through experience i stopped using them too, but initially they did me proud way back in 2003/4.
Anyway, you wont go wrong with any of the big named garages. ITs a phone around job!! LOL.
PS, Graham was an 4rse!, there, ahhh, and relax,

350bhp and 350 ft/lbs on a Blobeye STI......... Not without changing lots of pieces I shouldn't have thought.... I am willing to stand corrected though, I love it when people rinse std kit and get good results
