Default Turbocharger secondhand prices.

Im wanting to buy a turbo to upgrade my 2002 WRX prodrive. Which turbo would you recommend with say a 250 quid budget ? Im leaning towards a vf22 or 23, as i like the idea of roller bearings. My car is lightly modded at the moment and i am wanting to move it up a notch.

TD05 16G.

Remember to factor in mapping costs.

You may also get a VF35 for that money.

You'd be very lucky, they generally sit in the £300+ price bracket

VF34 or 24 are very good turbos as well.

It depends on what you want from your car, as alot chase numbers.

I went for low end spool torque, and worried about BHP later. But its your car you decide

I know but I have seen them sell for that. There are bargains to be had at the moment.

Another option is a vf28 or vf29. But a td05 16g is well in budget with a front entry conversion. And they are robust and rebuildable.
