Turbo and intercooler options??
Hi everyone,
I am looking to start modding my 06 wrx again after the new year and was wandering what turbo options are available. I'm not looking for silly power but around 350bhp ish would do me. ( for a while)
I've been pointed towards the vf43 from similar age sti. Also sti top mount intercooler.
Also if anyone has any of these parts for sale let me know.
Thanks
Doug

Yep, is still on there. 2nd hand vf43 for £750 plus carriage. Made him stupid offer but got rejected. lol. Am gutted as I missed a nice vf48 recently on fleebay.
Would also consider a decent TD05 18G, possibly. But prefer vf. Let me know if you find anything!

CAIK?
Have a hyperflow TMIC to go on when I do the turbo swap. Looking to do hi flow cat downpipe, centre section & fuel pump too. Already have rear box and panel filter.
Cool. Was seriously considering an 18G and if I cant find a vf then thats the route i'll go down. Cheers.

I have a STi topmount for sale here:

Also suspect your current WRX injectors may max out before 350bhp, but worth asking some of the other WRX owners who have gone a similar route.

Hi Doug i would recommend you go for TD05-18G which make easily 350BHP,someone on SurreyScoobies selling for 375£.
FMIC is really pricey for 06,but Harvey have now some prototype of Hybrid,just contact Harvey or go for STi TMIC.

Hi all thanks for the comments.
It was Duncan at race dynamix that done the remap on the car already so I will get in contact with him again. The vf's are hard to find think I might go for the 18 g aswel but still looking.

For TD05-18G(genuine) is better price like SC36 and you will make same power.
STi TMIC is good up to 400-430BHP,your OE airbox is much better in your tune than any CAIK(cold air induction kit) or Induction kit,due OE airbox is good up to 400BHP,stick until you are want go more power(400BHP+) and then go just for RCM cone filter which is more effective than any CAIK.

Doug, the SC36 is based on the 16g, not the 18g, so will spool quicker - a la a 16g! - compared to an 18g.
It also should make the 18g's 360bhp on a 2.0L with supp. mods too, according to Scooby Clinic.
So even though it may cost a bit more than a 'proper' 18g, everything else seems to be 'in its favour'...
