I think with a 2.0l you should be looking at the MD321H as the T is very laggy on the 2.0l and is better suited to the 2.5l

PS I had an AndyF 20G on my MY03 STi and it was very good.

Deffo bigger than a 20g.

I run a 20g on my 02 sti and its not laggy at all. A 20g wont do a built 2ltr any justice at all. 321H at least IMO.

imo if you can`t stretch to the md321 yet, work on getting the gearbox sorted first as it won`t make that much difference to when it goes pop with either turbo on it

Mark just read back my post and I had worded it wrong, meant that the T was very laggy on the 2.0l not the H

You can send your 16g to Andy and he'll convert it, saves you the hassle of selling it.

Thats what I'm doing, I've got a tired TD04 that I picked up for peanuts waiting to go on, to save the car being off the road when the 16g is taken off and sent away.

have a look at his website
