What turbo?
My current td05 16g is smokin on boost so I'm thinkin it's about time 2 replace it.
Now I'm not sure whether 2 replace like 4 like or wack on a td05 18 or 20g.
I have only had the car 6months and was told that the last owner had bigger injectors put on in preperation 4 a bigger turbo how can I tell if this is true and if it is wat turbo shall I go with? I don't want to b replacing lots of bits so wats my best option peeps?

I take it your car is a classic? then I would stick with a 16G again, an 18G or a 20G may well finish your gearbox/engine off and thats the last thing you want, plus you would have to get your car remapped if you change to a different turbo.

It's a classic with an sti 2.5 bottom end conversion engine only has 4000 miles on it, so that should b ok and I think the gear box can take a pounding, had it mapped b4 Xmas and it's runin 280 bhp and 310 torque. Not sure wat I should do any advice chaps
