T3/T4 is very vague because there are lots of different trims, ballbearings,....etc.

with that being siad i'm running a fairly large T3/T4 ballbearing turbo.

I have a Ludespeed turbo kit which has a T3/T04b turbo in it. The kit isn't on my car yet though, its sitting in my room waiting to be installed.

Hi stealth-wrx:For my spec see our own local website for guys in about a thirty mile radius of here.
www.tyneteesscoobies.com.
I have an uprated centre diff and added a front lsd and the car comes standard with rear LSD but I have junked the 4.44:1 for a 3.9 which gives longer legs and better cruise at the cost of slower acceleration and 1/4 times.. Still using the STi gearbox but I have another strengthened gearbox as used in European rally cars which I hope to fit before I break this one.
I expect to increase power before the next rolling road shoot out late January and there are a few more mods to do after that too.
Trying to do it all bit by bit so I know what works and with what if you know what I mean.
Done lots of mods bit at a time followed by R.R.sessions since March when I fitted an APS cold air induction kit and picked up no2 piston in the bore.
Hope this answers your questions but ask more if you wish.

We've got the VF30...part of the TurboXS Stage 4 kit. We like it, but are wondering whether we should have gone bigger.

Running a very rare T3, he he...

I have not had much luck with the VF series Turbo's on the WRX's, seems as though you can only generate about 310 Hp on 20 PSI with a VF34.

I know some of the garret's go much higher then this. Yeah I am talking about the WRX, but I would guess the same would be true on the RS.

Anyone have some dyno runs with a VF series Turbo at say 5-10 PSI with a Link or other engine management. I want to see if I can shoot myself in the foot.
