Thats a very good point, massive point i've overlooked in my rush.
Looking to hit 300bhp so nothing out of this world. I already have a 3" system with sports cat, performance panel filter and 225 fuel pump next then upgraded intercooler and 440 injectors

Thanks will pm's you both. Ideally i wanted the same turbo as my 1993 WRX had as that was brutle power, the delivery was like a sledge hammer, but it was years ago when i was new to Imprzea's so i never looked what turbo it was running.
The lad who bought it off me came with his mate and his mate said it was faster than his WRX, so not sure.

If it's a 1993 saloon (or STi Wagon) it would indeed have been a TD05 16g as OEM fitment.
I agree. When my old 93 WRX had a 'stage 1' re-map to 282bhp (from std 237), I really dug it. Good turbo for the power/spool compromise. Has a decent, exciting 'kick' to it when it comes on song.
They're allegedly good for 340+ on a good day (supporting mods dependent). So you're covered (as you are with the other turbos mentioned on here).

I don't think it was a sti, it was registered as a 2.0L i think, i contacted DVLA to get them to change it to WRX.
So does the power delivery depend more on the turbo or the remap? As you said that kick and you get thrown back in your seat with a sudden blast of power, and passengers saying it will give them whip lash thats what i want.

The way the mapper maps in the boost profile contributes to that feeling. But also, the actual size of the turbo is also responsible: the bigger the turbine and/or compressor, the more lag. And it is that which gives you that perceived powerful kick; that transition from nothing to 'whooaah!'
Now the 16g isn't a particularly a big turbo for a 2.0, but it does have a small bit of lag, then kicks quite hard. If you really like that delivery, then I'd recommend.
But if you like a more 'instant' low down and linear-type response, then the tiny TD04L is hard to beat. Albeit it'll start to run out of puff at the top end, which the 16g doesn't so much.
A good compromise between the two would be the STI 5/6's VF28.
But for a goal of 300bhp, you certainly don't want to fit any bigger a turbo than those mentioned... You'd just introduce FAR too much lag and completely knacker the driveability, and ultimately, the enjoyment.

Cheers for info, i wish i'd taken notice of what turbo my past impreza had. But i was newbie in those days. It picked up so well and was amazing for over taking, aloud me to overtake safely on roads which the td04 struggles with, as it doesn't pick up speed fast enough. Where my old one delivered the power in a big lump.
As has been said a simple map might sort that out.
