quit Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Vf34 vf35 for starters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggyeye Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 i run 400hp and i use a 20g turbo. hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 What's your target power , budget and have you already got any supporting mods ? Do you want top end power or quick spool ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffLeggy Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Don't they run a VF35 stock? If so it's good for up to 340ish on its own. Depends what power your hoping for though. VF35 would be the weapon of choice for me from a drivability pov anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Yeah sorry I misread thought he said wrx don't downgrade to a old td05 tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 As above, need to define what you want or budget. Sc42, fuel pump, injectors, front mount, syvecs will see 400 but prob be £4k if bought new. Second hand parts and map will be cheaper but need to find decent parts. Decat and Remap will see 330 but only be about £1500 give or take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 if your keeping the car for a long period i would always get a new or refurbed (by a reputable place) as some turbos are shocking what people try to sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that spec had been phased out 3 years prior suspect someone was telling some porky pies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 i got a vf28 off eBay as a spare , won for sub 100 quid but looked pretty mint in the pics, said he got a sti v6 fresh import with 25k on the clock..... turbo arrived looked good but stunk of carb cleaner ! in the end i gave it to a mate who races them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 had he been sniffing the carb cleaner? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip1993 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Yeah sorry I misread thought he said wrx don't downgrade to a old td05 tho I like the td05 and I'm get 330bhp with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 20 + year old turbo tho ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I think the vf35 is fairly similar to the tdo5 16g anyways just newer . Garys 02 bug sti had a vf34 and made 330hp with a cone ,intake pipe ,3" downpipe and remap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaqs77 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Silly question but how do you identify which turbo is fitted to the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matts guidance is almost correct follow most of what he said but look at the turbo itself - it is stamped / cast on the housing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
