Question which turbo...

Hello,
I have been reading a lot!!!! and been going back and forth with the VF22,39, and 34... and I have been looking at the mitsubishi turbo's But i havent read any reviews about them... I want up to 300whp. I just want to be faster than the "stock" STI, EVOVIII and/or SRT-4... I know i will need a fuel pump, injectors, fuel rails, ECU. this will be a daily driven car, Okay here are the questions...
1. what turbo do I need,
2. will the IHI fit a Helix flex up pipe?
3. what kind injectors do i need and the best cc?
4. what kinda of walbro fuel pump?
5. I have no clue about the EM/ ECU what do you recomend...
6.How do i decrease turbo lag.....
I think thats it for now... lol thanks guys!! )

This is what i have in my car so far. Turbo XS FMIC & BOV, K&N short ram air filter, a helix up/down pipe, and a Invidia cat back exhaust..

youre gonna need quite a bit of work to get it up to 300whp. You could probably get around 250whp with an accessport, STi injectors, a vf34, and a tune. You would probably need some engine/head work to get it up to 300whp or swap it out for an STi motor.

I would go with the VF39. On race gas you could easily hit 300whp. Any turbo you get bigger than your stock is going to create more lag. A VF39 (or stock sti turbo) is a good choice for a wrx. My friend had this done to his car with sti pink injectors and fuel pump, i had an sti with only TBE at the time and i would pull on him up to 60, but after that he pulled.
Em i would suggest ecutek. But this depends on your local tuners and what they prefer. Ask your local tuner as he is going to be the one to tune this.
