Well not awards exactly but it came out on tops as a quality compromise between power, driveability and cost in a EVO mag test a few months ago.

and the wife told me she had been in work all day!! Just about to tuck my 333 up for the evening in her lair.

Trust you to go a step further Martin - chargecooler - how much more does that cost by the way and is their a noticable improvement??? I wonder if the wife would notice if I had it done? More importantly would I manage to smuggle the funds out of our joint account without her noticing?

I have it to on my MY04 STI. I let a friend have a go last week who owns an MY05 STI with PPP and his quoote was: "It certainly has more punch."

No warranty but apparently TSL have done loads of conversions and not 1 has gone pop.

it is a lot of money about the same as 333! but i feel it was worth it as plan was to get chargecooler or put money towards 06 sti,on the road it has minimal lag,great pick up and flies on full boost right to redline

The chargecooler sounds good all i have to do now is persuade the Mrs that we could do with even more more ooommmphhhh - that should be fun.

I have to say I am well impressed with the TSL333 conversion, a top job by top blokes .

Yup it certainly spot on. I couldnt believe the difference on mine.

Then the charge cooler on top and you have a monster of a scooby.

wrc seem a bit too showy for me getting figures that seem very high plus it is way down south as i am working in fraserburgh at present!
best thing to do if possible is to testdrive tsl/wrc demo cars.the tsl demo is an 05 sti with 333/chargecooler/lightened special exhaust-very fast esp when graham is putting it through its paces and while doind demos it would be rude to test drive ian litchfiels's t25 which is awesome.check out june 2004 evo for comparison of tsl/ppp etc

May also be worth contacting Pace Products on www.paceproducts.co.uk as they designed the first and original design dual air to air & water to air chargecooler system,also try www.top-deck.co.uk.

supposedly pace had a big fault out with tsl with tsl being left with the improved version and pace with the less effective original version,i think pace only do classic at moment for some reason as well?

Think you maybe right over the fall out, but would suggest there is rather more to it than meets the eye.Looked at original dyno figs etc from Pace....v impressive .One stories good till anothers told etc.
