Turbo Upgrade WRX which one?
 
hi all,

next month im going to be throwing around £1500 in my 2004 wrx.
i curently have a raptor back box and decat up pipe.
i want to get the most power as possible what turbo do you think i should get with my budget?

im thinking so far.
decat centre pipe -£100
decat downpipe -£150
upgraded panel filter -£50
3 port boost solenoid -£100
walbro fuel pump - £80
pink injectors - £200
bigger turbo maybe vf35 - £400
remap - £300

is this ok.any ideas?

Don't piss around with the wrx, save your money and get an sti.

I own a blobeye wagon and have put 2.5k into suspension and brake upgrades without touching the engine. I'll never learn.

some of your prices are a little ott

injectors-£100

3 port boost solenoid-£25 from a classic impreza


vf35-£300

that leaves you enough change for a sti top mount intercooler

the vf35 will give you between 320-350bhp :thumb:

Brett-wv14 22 March 2014 09:51 PM

rush youve just made me go searching for an sti now ha. your right its a better base car all round. i wana reach 300bhp+ in my wrx then i will defiantly be getting an sti next time.

Brett-wv14 22 March 2014 09:52 PM

thanks shreksta. do you think the vf35 is my best option?

erm yeah unless a good vf34 comes up but they are more rare so fetch around £400+

my vf35 made 354bhp + 365ftlbs

or you could go with a vf28/vf30/vf22 or a front entry td0516g

Brett-wv14 22 March 2014 10:08 PM

what other mods did you have to reach 354bhp that would be amazing. i need to feel that kind of power ") ha

The shreksta, I'm not being cocky. What gearbox and clutch are you running as I ll probably go down the same route as you.

I'm aiming for roughly the same enjoyment as my old scirocco tsi with 270-280bhp revo stage 2.

the shreksta 22 March 2014 10:23 PM

it was a version 6 classic shape sti 5 speed that was rebuilt by api fitted with an exedy pink box clutch but ive changed the box now for a 6-speed from a prodrive bug sti ready for when i increase my power :)

Brett-wv14 22 March 2014 10:31 PM

sounds like you got some serious power there shreky.
if im running say around 340 on wrx tranny would that kind of power chew the tranny up? i wouldnt launch it at all am i risking it alot or will i be ok?

Rush187 22 March 2014 10:33 PM

I must admit those figures would be nice for my wagon.

Not too far away from from you, would be good for a chat .

Brett-wv14 22 March 2014 10:40 PM

Rush187 22 March 2014 10:41 PM
