Opinions on this turbo...
 
TD06 20G Turbocharger Subaru Direct bolt-on WRX / STi ! on eBay (end time 19-Jul-09 16:03:39 BST)

what's people's opinions on this turbo? what sort of power is it capable of on a standard wrx block?

please be aware that you will be stung for import duties/tax when it arrives in uk ..if you read the listing it states this further down in small print... i bought a £70 treble pillar pod gauge from over seas and had to pay £11 to get it...

Seems too cheap for me, you get what you pay for. Imo:)

You can find out what the duty would be by using the HM C&E tariff website.

Email the seller and ask then if they'll mark the Pro Forma as "GIFT" - this will ensure the UK import duty is waived (maybe the VAT too? - can't remember :wonder:)...

That turbo is not really a "Subaru Direct bolt-on", I've fitted a couple and you can't use std subaru water and oil feed pipes. Also if using a Hybrid/Autobahn FMIC the pipe work will touch the actuator.

wat other options do i have then? what turbos are every 1 else running?

Theres alot of drifters here in Ireland running these kind of turbos and are getting great results.So I wouldnt be afraid of putting one on my car.

so what kind of power have people seen with these ???

mit 28 June 2009 07:00 PM

As above, you get what you pay for. There's a few cheap 20G's on the market, which don't give the promised results. Some have made less power than a 16G! Not saying this is one.......
A proper 20G from Andy Forrest etc is good for 380-400bhp, with the correct mods.
