Budget unknown ATM

You won't make those figures with the standard turbo mate, you will struggle to make over 320-330 on standard internals and box. Your best bet is to fit a VF28 and run a safe 300-310bhp.

Hi ljf is that turbo a direct replacement And 300bhp would be plenty be happy with a good curve more than actual bhp.

What intercooler would you recommend

Thanks

i have a newage wrx intercooler,tdo5 16g and rest is like yours and i been told when i remap will be good for 320bhp but i,m gonna ask for 300ish to be safe.


also a 3 port boost solinoid is a good purchase as you get better boost control ,so im told

Okay thanks mate will post up in the wanted section

Yes mate a VF28 is a direct fit and will produce a good early spool up which is what matters for a nice fast road car on a Uk turbo.


Avoid chasing figures

your 440cc injectors are fine for that power but it should be on a TD04 so I'd stick a turbo and better intercooler on it.

May sell my P1 top mount so you could have that, undecided atm though, will keep you posted

Brun

Isn't the P1 top mount the same as a STi 5 top mount? If so - i wouldn't bother as it's hardly any different to the std uk one!

You will be better off getting a newage sti top mount and a zeros ports under tray.

Hardly any different or no different? If hardly any different then I don't really understand your point...
Slightly bigger cores as far as I'm aware and cosmetically a nice difference

For cost and ease of fitting I'd disagree as you're only aiming for 300bhp

Brun

I was told about the bigger core so bought an STi 5 item. My intake temp did not reduce so i surmised that my £80 outlay was a complete waste of money. When i sat my STi item on top of my uk one - they were identical in all but colour - that's my point.
At the very least - if i was gonna upgrade an intercooler - i would be looking at a newage STi i/c - but in reality i would go down the fmic route as the cost would be similar
