Jay762 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 the TD04 is readily available second hand and easy enough to change over should you need to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I find it's the best way I would let Tlag work on mine from on here and Martin from Sheffield Subaru Services and a handful of others. I worry when I have to have new tyres or balancing done just because I don't know them mainly :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Haha It gets addictive look at Savage bulldogs car over 500BHP Some years of the impreza might be but I've always gone on the 240/250BHP I wouldn't go past that myself Yeah when I bought the scooby I told the wife I'll just fit a cat back and get a remap lol I wish 500 + gambit :-( engine would cope with it but, with a tdo5 strapped to it I'll be lucky to break the 350 barrier . My tdo4 made 284 hp @ 1.2 bar and spooled up fast as fook . I have seen a tdo4 dyno graph for 304 hp on a 2ltr but I'd say 290 is about the average max hp with supporting mods . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I thought it was more than that wasn't far off just a few 100 and who cares about numbers anyway :D I said something a bit similar. It went along the lines of. " I'm happy with the car as it is it's fast enough standard I tuned my last car I'm not doing it again" :D I know why I thought it was 500+ because of them Videos you posted or pictures of your mates :) And it does look nice mate hopefully will serve you well now for the distant future, other than upgrades hopefully no more big costly bills. And it's fine I did have to look twice at the sig. And I don't mind mate :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
