I am looking for information on different turbo's.
I will have the dilema of choosing a turbo to (of course) increase power on the car.

What turbo would people recommend and what's the difference in power, boost etc and cost

options are

1. VF 34
2. VF 35
3. TD05

If upgrading the turbo do the injectors need to be changed?

Thanks

Model and year of your car might help....

it's a WRX 2005.

has a TD04 turbo as standard.

GazTheHat

#2 or #3.

#2 you'll pick up for about £250 and will get around 330bhp with supporting mods.

I was quoted £1100 for the VF 35. Where can I get one for £250?

GazTheHat

In the For Sale section. Will be 2nd hand, but there's normally a few floating around. I sold mine for £300 well over a year ago with 22k on it.

Go look on Andy F's website. Changing to an overall bigger turbo will almost certainly net you big gains but at the expense of low down drivability.

If your goal is "over 300BHP" then an Andy F TD04 hybrid will likely do the job.

Who quoted you £1100 for a VF35

A VF34 is apparently as good if not better, can be had new from.........
IMI RHF5 VF34 Subaru Impreza STI [VA660060] - £720.00 : AET ENGINEERING - AETTURBOSONLINE

Ive seen VF35`s on here 2nd hand sell for around £300

From what I gather from on here the TD05 18g/20g Turbos are harsher on your gearbox

VF34's are a rollerbearing turbo (low friction), good for 350-360bhp, VF35's are a sleeve bearing turbo, good for 350-360bhp, TD05's come in different guises, you will be looking for a TD05 16G, which also gives you similar power to the above 2.

The VF34 is fitted to only the finest of subaru's single scroll cars (ie the Spec C RA and S202) and is probably the best turbo out of the 3.

He's be after a 16g though.

290 AND READY

like this thread
Just bought a td05 16g
Seems to be a big debate what these turbo can achieve

Some saying 300 bhp and some saying 360

im confused

GazTheHat

16g = 350
18g = 370
20g = 390

Give or take a few.

from what i have read the vf35 dies out quicker than the vf34 top end but the vf35 kicks in a little earlier not alot of differnece between them but the 34 seems to go for more money

I think Ivan has a second hand VF35, worth a phone call.

God Luck.
