Hi all I'm having my 03 blob mapped on Monday just to run better with the few mods already on

Already fitted
Sti tmic , k&n panel filter , part decat , walbro fuel pump

I'm keeping it this way for a bit as wife is going to be driving it to for a bit but once she has her car I want to get the blob upto about 330bhp
So I'm thinking I need some grade 7 ngk spark plugs
3 port boost sol
Full decat
But I'm a bit lost on what turbo is best for the blob I have a vf23 but being told by friends that's more for the classic
Anyone have any views on a good turbo for the blob and anything else I might need

Many thanks

 

The best turbo for that sort of power would be a vf34 if you can get one or the more common vf35 which is the standard turbo on a Sti, with everything else you have fitted you should see between 300-340 bhp. Also then I would consider upgrading the brakes to brembos or similar.

 

vf35 is easiest to get hold of, vf34 will give same spool but a bit more top end but as said hard to find second hand, the an sc36 will give better spool and top end but very hard to find second hand.

 

I've just gone from 260bhp with a TD04 to 320bhp with a TDO5 and I think around twisty country roads the former TD04 version of the car would kill the TD05 car. On the drag strip the TD04 offered nothing after 70mph. I can't wait to see what the TD05 can offer.

In hindsight though I kinda wish I'd jut tried to get 300bhp with the TD04 for something pretty special on the road.

 

Not really like the sound of the td05 and to be honest what I have read about the td04 it maxes out about 280bhp I think vf34-35 sounds like best option thanks guys I got a few months before the turbo change so just keep on the look out for a vf34 and if all else fails then vf35

 

Just to throw my bit in, my car had been making 298 on its little td04 before I got it. Then the big ends died and was rebuilt. Now running just shy of 260. I have ESL installed now, I'll be going for the most I can out of the TD04 because the spool is unreal.

 

Or look for a Andy forest td04 hybrid and have the best of both worlds ;-)

 

+1 or an sc32

 

Right well I have just read Andy Forrest's web side and yer I do like the sound of the td04 hybrid sounds very nice
So it's £450 exchange yer so I got an old td04 say here at home I give him that and £450 quid is that right.
Does it matter there is play in the saft of the one I'm giving them
Can anyone that has brought from AF answer any of this

Many thanks

remember you will need sti pink injectors at least and ngk-pfr7b plugs aswell,may aswell chuck an sti inlet manifold on aswell and get the mapper to turn off the tgv's

plugs-£40
injectors-£100 ish
sti inlet manifold in red -£60 ish

 

Yer seen that one the td04 hybrid is cheeper than that and been refurbed with warranty I got a td04 that I can exchange on my classic I'm breaking and that will get the 310 which is close to what I want so looks like that's the one

Nice one for the info mate Been noted

 

I think sti pinks are newage mate so topfeed if I'm right not sidefeed like the classics so I think the yellow 440's will be fine and good for 330-340 bhp, and yes the td04 is exchange so give him urs and u will receive a hybrid, play in the shaft won't matter because he refurbs them and makes them hybrid. :-)

 

why would he want side feed when he has a blob eye?

 

I got my car set up again by Andy Forest again on Friday following an engine change. Very happy for a 04 blob WRX. 390 Bhp and 400 lbft of torque. Car is running a 2.5 ( EJ 25 ) bottom end matched to 2.0 wrx heads. Owen Developments turbo, Sti Pinks, FMIC, cold air intake in inner wing.

Hope all goes well for you.

 

Woops my bad getting confused with another thread thought he had a my99 lol. Yes get pinks then mate

 

Very nice mate mine won't be anything like that lol only a couple of subtle mods at the mo as I say gonna get a hybrid td04 but won't be fitting until jan/Feb but yer will get some pinks for sure.
I will be happy when I get the blob to 300 ish for a couple of years anyway

 

I know why I'm getting confused cus ur breaking a classic aren't ya and just bought this blob lol you should see around 320-330 I would say with pinks and hybrid

 

what version of td05 though? shouldn't find any trouble keeping it on boost unless yoru changing gear way way too early.
