Help me pick a replacement Turbo!!!

Hi fellows:
I am ready for more HorsePower on my '02 WRX. Lots of new Turbos are out there and considering that I do a lot of streetracing and also visit the drag strip once a month, what would be a better choice with the ease of bolt-on parts: TD06, IHI VF22 or IHI VF34? Also, please let me know all the parts I might need to achieve a full swap, ie: Injectors, Fuel pump type, etc... I need to separate that budget now that I have it! Thanks to all of you!!

If you want to go fast for cheap get a motorcycle. Can't beat it for the money. I'd say get the VF22 especially if its still your daily driver and your not after massive hp.

The turbo you choose depends on your performance needs.

If you choose to upgrade, you'll need STi injectors ($375 if you look around), a fuel pump (for example, the Walbro GSS342), and some sort of engine management. If you are on a tight budget, you can get a used TurboXS Unichip with a plug and play harness for around $400.

Send me an e-mail (sam@turbometrics.com) and we can talk about your turbo choices.
