Default Harvey Smith TD0520G Turbo 420bhp Proved

Fully working nearly new TF0520G Turbo supplied and installed by Harvey Smith. As my car is a weekend car it did just short of 500 miles using this turbo whilst producing 420BHP which was proved at Scoobyclinic on their rolling road. Power Graph available if required.

Turbo has ported housing by Harvey to ensure maximum air flow. Have recently upgraded to bigger power levels making this turbo redundant. Paid £900 for it so would like around £650 for it second hand given it is practically brand new.

Collection from my house near to Leeds Bradford airport would be ideal due to the weight of the item.

Cheers

Thanks

In answer to several PM's. I dont want to part exchange this turbo for your old one, just need to sell it to get back some of the money ive spent on my next stage of upgrades.

And yes you will definitely need a remap if you change your turbo.

Hiya,

It was run on my 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STI WR1. My other mods at the time were:

Full 3" RCM Exhaust System with silenced centre section
GT Spec-2 Headers (heatwrapped) & uppipe
650cc injectors
RCM Induction Kit
Hybrid FMIC
Open Source Remap
Run on VPower
Dyno'd at Scoobyclinic

Thanks

Tmic vs fmic won't change power levels much unless your tracking the car, mine still pulled like a train with my tmic. Headers I was told gave around 12 to 15bhp. Take it you have 3" exhaust system ?

At the moment no ive got 2.5" with sports cat but could have that done at the same time save on remapping twice. I wasnt planning on bringing power levels up yet as im still sorting handling / stopping etc. but.... bigger power is more appealing than staying on the road

Dont worry about the stationary trees mate, they dont tend to move that fast

As for the upgrade path, its clear to me that you should get the power upgrade under your belt first then you have an excellent excuse to use with the other half to get the brakes and handling mods even quicker!

Given the postage is quite high would accept £630 posted on the basis the paypal payment is gifted so I dont lose 3%-4% to paypal for the pleasure.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the offer but posting it and insuring it is proving very expensive so will see if anyone else wants to take it off my hands for the next few days preferably who will collect it. If I still have it by the weekend then will rethink the position.

Thanks

Yes it was brand new when I bought it.
Mine is a 2004 STI WR1 so yep definitely works fine on that, you would need a remap obviosly and a 3" exhaust helps spool times.

Thanks

Grant has offered me the asking price via PM subject to seeing the pictures so as he was next in line I owe him first refusal on it now. Will get back to you if Grant changes his mind though.

would I be right in thinking a 2.5' up-pipe would help spool time even more?

Have a 3" full de-cat fitted btw.
