Hey guys. i just started buying parts for my wrx and i don't know much about what turbo to upgrade to.

So far i was thinkin of the IHI VF22 over the VF30. or maybe even getting the greddy turbo kit TZ518. Or one of the smaller garretts.
But i need some suggestions.

Im lookin for a turbo that has the ability to make 300-350whp with the correct mods. but for the moment the turbo would have be able to work with stock setup except for a 3" turbo back piping. Im also hoping to find a turbo that spools between 3300-3800 rpm. I don't want major turbo lag from a turbo like t3/t4. This is going to be more of a daily street car. Im not aiming to be a drag car.

So far i was thinkin of the VF22 over the VF30 because the VF22 can boost to 25psi where as i heard the vf30 can only do 20 psi max. And i heard that the VF turbos spool around 3300 rpm. I really don't know much about the greddy turbo kit. I read somewhere that the turbo in the kit was only a bit larger than the vf23.... but im sure its an 18g turbo and suppose to be a good deal bigger than any IHI out on the market.

As you can probably see.. im kinda confused or lost...

Any suggestions would be helpful. Im basically looking for a turbo that will have max boost fairly early in the rpm band. And also be able to eventually put out a good amount of hp since i will be working on the car little by little. Also has to be a direct bolt on. i don't think i want to get a new turbo manifold yet..... don't got that much money to spend.

Well thanks for taking the time to read and respond to this.

 

Well normally the aftermarket section is used for people who's cars started out as a non-turbo. Personally I say go for the VF22 setup.

 

ahhh.... yea. i wasn't thinkin when i posted. i'll go ahead and post in the other forum. thx
