Thumbs up What turbo upgrade

I have recently bought a fmic and also an Apexi Fc and Commander and I know when I fit all these I will have to get it mapped. My car is a 1994 WRX so what would be the upgrade turbo I could put on to have less lag cos of the fmic.
Any help would be very much appreciated

I'd go for a VF28, easily manage over 300 which is where your be knocking, there reliable and cheap to buy.

Have a work to Dannyboy he will have near the same set-up as what your going for.

I'm pretty sure your's already has a Td05 which is pretty good for 350BHP, I hardly noticed any lag after fitting my FMIC, I would of said 0.2 of seconds at the most!!!!!!!

Car is MOT'd now If you fancy a little spin in mine you can see how she goes.

You free wednesday or thursday to help me with my brakes???

Are you going to get AndyF to do your mapping, if so it might be worth giving him a shout, he will give you a straight answer on which way he thinks you should go..

Theres a good chance your present turbo will be very tierd..

If Andy F is dong your mapping, it may be worthwhile considering one of his hybrid turbo units (I'm going to when I change mine).
