VF52 upgrade

[Jimmyc]

Morning all,

i have a 2009 WRX-S hatch running the standard VF52 turbo

car is currently running a 3" Tomei, japspeed decat, Perrin 3 port solenoid, K&N typhoon air feed, mishimoto TMIC, HKS BOV, Custom map.

NOT FORGED!!

the car is making 280bhp and 350 Lb/ft torque but it is running out of poke after gear 3

Has anyone got any solid advice on decent turbo upgrades? Ideally direct bolt on? Fairly mechanically adept. Have looked at new pumps and injectors if needed but not looking to blow the engine. Would like to make around 330bhp safely.

all advice welcome 😊👌👍 cheers

Or 38 ....

I'm liking the look of the SC36 😉

Clutch is already uprated to max 500hp and a lightweight flywheel is in. 

I think the SC38 may be more than I'm after and I'm worried my 5 speed box etc may ping. 

Cheers for the info guys 👍 Much appreciated

I'm probs going sc42 and crossing my fingers on the box lol

Hawk box will be fine. I ran one at 400/420 for 18 months no bother. They are about the strongest 5 speed you can get. I'm  or sure if the hatch uses the same box or not.

If your original set up has a single scroll turbo there's quite a few oe turbo options that hit 330hp on a 2ltr engine ,that are a straight swap .

 

Vf35 , vf34 , tdo5 16g /18g or 20 g ect can all be found second hand for under £400 .
