TD05-16G v`s IHI VF35
 

Ok, still undecided on a turbo for my car.

This is the last thing i need to decide on, and i`m just not sure.

My spec is

MY00 Wagon.

H&S Open neck dp, 2.5 centre with Ninja bb.
Standard headers and up-pipe (both to be ported and wrapped)
Sti panel filter (no cold air mods as yet)
Sti8 tmic (no scoop or undertray mods yet)
Walbro 255 with OE Reg.
Standard 440`s.
And once all done, EcuTek map from Andy.F

I used a VF30 in my last Impreza, and i liked the way it felt, a tad more lag than the standard TD04, but it soon spooled up well.

I just dont know which to go for, as i have the choice of a 16G and a 35.

I really need some pointers. :)

Thanks.

35 on mine gives 313 bhp. Touch more lag than the OE TD04 with a much harder pull round to 7k - MY00
I don't know anything bout the 16G....

Thanks Brun.

What other mods do you have ?

I have almost exactly the same spec as yours, but with the tdo5, i do have a K&N induction though, but today i got 304bhp and 285lbft on the rollers........

Walbro, hybrid fmic, tek3, k&n, full decat and an empty wallet :D

IMO: ultimate power will be greater with TD05, response is quicker with VF35. I'd go VF35 for road only, and TD05 if track work is expected.

TD05 is also a tough little b*stard!

How much work to fit a VF35 to a MY99 ?

I have a VF34 which is almost the same as the VF35 except it has roller bearings, i've just had Harvey's ported & wrapped headers fitted and it's made the turbo spool up about 500rpm sooner (now it's like the stadard TD04) and it pulls all the way to the redline (unlike the TD04).

I've got a vf35 for sale if your interested.

any one ??

fits strait on i think

can't see anywhere your goal ?
if its around 300 then i'd go for andyF's td04 hybrid everytime

looking at your current mods i'm thinking 300 is what your after
???????????????

This is interesting. I've got a TD05 16G sat here at home, which will be fitted and mapped (fingers crossed) in a couple of weeks.
Basically, same spec as post #1.
I'd like to see 300 bhp on the rollers, but more interested in the way it goes on the road.
What power can I expect to see and what can I expect on the road?

Apologies for hijacking the thread aswell.

Cheers

Dazza,

I dont have a goal, so not chasing numbers with this project.
I just want a nice sensible upgrade from standard.
