The T25s are 415 brake and you say theyre not reliable ?
Im fooked if i know which one to go for now :wonder:

As Tim says.. MY05 JDM STis (T20s) topped out at around 360 ish ... hence I went with the LM420 turbo upgrade with FMIC and injectors and Induction ... and now mapped to 425/390 ish I think ... had it that way for 2 years now and no issues .. in fact I still love it .. and the car has over 100k on the clock!

There are larger turbos I could have gone for, but I was being cautious given the standard internals ... who knows, perhaps I could have gone bigger ... but ... "am I bovered ?" ..... err .. "No" :lol1:

Interesting, because (repeating myself, sorry) mine's running 373/389 with the VF36, mapped by JGM.
It's a strange difference (strange science I suppose), a single-figure difference in torque for a 52bhp superiority.

Me personally I thought - and explored - all manner of upgrades but came round to thinking "hang on, would it then be a true T20?" so I stuck to the 'purist path'.

I suppose there is the view that if Litchfield does its own suggested upgrade then in reality you've a Hawk T20 'Mk 2'.

It's not just 52bhp though :) That's just the peak figure which isn't really very interesting. It's the rest of the map fill that will make the difference to how it performs :) As long as the lag isn't greatly different a 52bhp increase should make a heck of a difference in the performance below the peak figure :)

Which I think goes to prove the point that numbers are nowt without proof of performance. :thumb:

Sell a few organs, you won't regret it and it will make the Spec C quicker ;-)

Had I not been so far into building my classic Sti RA I would sell up and buy this. I think it's a great car that has clearly been much loved and very well looked after. By the time I'm done I will have similar money in my classic which is a joke.

In my honest opinion this is by far the best impreza for sale at the moment and has been for some time.
A credit to its owner
