If you 've just fitted the turbo and not had it remapped ,how do you expect the ecu to know you've stuck a bigger turbo on, the ecu will fuel the car for a tdo4,so while you have already fitted a bigger turbo the best thing to do is drive the car off boost until it has been remapped,also it might be worth you getting a 3 point boost solenoid as : 1 . It gives better boost control over the 2 port . 2. You can do away with the restrictor pill - you wont need it.

Dead easy to fit: top port goes to turbo compressor, middle port goes to. Wastegate actuator, bottom port connects back into your inlet tract, or if you have a induction kit can vent to air .
eBay, pistonheads or the for sale section on here are normally good places to look.if I get chance to look will pm you as soon as I find one, expect to pay £25 - £40 for a good 2nd hand one

I would agree ,but the after driving my mates 1995 wrx with a td04 on this morning ,i can see why it took me so long for me to upgrade to a bigger turbo , 2200 rpm and your hitting boost with no lag.If your into acceleration and quick spool up then stick with the td04 or a AFP td04 hybrid. If you just want more 'grunt' then a bigger turbo it is
