Default Which turbo?

Hi all,

So I'm at the stage of upgrading my turbo on my blob wrx and after a bit of research I've nailed my choice down to a few.

The TD05 18g, VF34 or the SC36 18g.

I'm looking for good spool up with good top end also. I suspect the SC36 might do this best but it is the most expensive to I believe?

Supporting mods,

550's
100 cell sports cat, everything else decatted
3 port
Cold air induction
STI TMIC

Any help appreciated.

The SC36 is an awesome little turbo, as is the SC38. Both spool very well and deliver exactly what they say on the tin !

Sorry meant to put the SC38 instead of the 36. Want to achieve 350 if not a tad more. I realise I'm then at the mercy of the gearbox but I hear alot of wrx owner running between 350-400 with no problems. That's not to say I won't get any issues of course.

Mapped one just the other day on a 2.1 stroker. Spool is excellent and it made the 380bhp with minimal effort.
