Default Turbo wanted - 400+ bhp and other parts.

Once again I find myself in a position that I need to source another turbo to get to, or beyond 400bhp or thereabouts.

Im not hung up on numbers, so if a spooly 380bhp turbo is available im all ears

It will be going on a standard 2.0 STI Blobeye.

What have I seen recently, well.....

TD05 20G
TD06 20G
GT30
MD555

I would consider anything if the price is right.....

MD321
RCM420

What have you?

----------------------

Also depending on the turbo, Im looking for an Inlet pipe, Decent ported Headers & up pipe, and maybe a clutch.

Thanks
Rob

Hi Neil,

I heard it a PITA going twin from single.... But im all ears if you can talk me through it. From what I understand, its headers, up pipe, downpipe, turbo, sump and some other parts like moutings etc, then the obvious map to suit?

Sounds like a plan buddy

When are you coming on with those parts you need anodising? I might be coming your way over the weekend, well to Keighley anyway.

Rob, if you were to have this turbo, and downpipe, you would need the bracket (included) along with a sump (which I have, or are fitted to 2006 on cars as standard) along with a set of headers which can be got for the same price as a new set of aftermarket headers.

Whatever turbo you use you are going to need a re-map.

So the costs are near identical.

Yeah sorry Neil, I put the remap cost in there as I was think about the true cost in changing the turbo etc, ie MD321 lets say £900, headers, blah blah, Remap £300.

Having three cars and a wedding and holiday to pay for is proving hard work, or at least the ear ache is

PM me your price Neil for the Turbo, downpipe, sump and if you have a set of headers

Hi Neil,

Sorry for going quiet on you, I wasnt sure if I wanted to go Twin Scroll or not, and Im still not sure to be honest. What power output is the LM420 capable of on a 2.0 STI?

Im still not sure which direction to go down.....

I think a RCM450 might be too laggy for a 2.0L, what car was it on?
