haha ok then!!! how much for your 18g? thjis time you drive to me.. hahahah!!!

 

With a FMIC I would definately go bigger than a vf34/39. Those are best suited with a TMIC. 18g+ I would go FMIC. My .02 from experience.

dont forget your injectors and pump.

 

ok then looks like a 18g is coming my way.. but before that... what other turbos have good comparison to the 18g?

 

go with a gt turbo

jk, 34 and 39 are good turbos.

oy... but people are saying 34 and 39 are good with the tmic and if i have a fmic i should go bigger... what does everyone think

 

You COULD have a fmic with a 34/39 but will gain minimal hp and will lose a lot of driveability with the added lag. On my old car I had a vf34 and eventually went with a fmic..only gained 9whp and like 15tq, I completely regretted it.

 

Why worry about a turbo? I'd make sure they toss in a bus pass if your upgrading your turbo. Anything about stock and your playing with borrowed time with your 5 speed.

This also come from a person that was putting down 380hp 400 tq on a 2006 WRX tr and a stock 5 speed and clutch.

I wanted to upgrade the turbo and make more power. So I did that and upgraded the car. I knew if I wanted more power I was going to bust the tranny. I have over 84k miles since Oct 2005 60k of that in the upper psi ranges. Yes I'm a beliver that the driver makes or brakes them more then poor design. But everything has its limits so I felt it was time to upgrade.
The 02-05 5 speed I dont think take that much.

 

Thats why I said pick up my aps tmic and y pipe. You add a vf 34-39 and your good to go. tmic is stupid unless your running bigger, You have other problems to fix before you get there. Like tranny for one. I'll even toss in a brand new wally 255 and my used tr injectors.
You are also running a 2.0 which will lag on a big turbo as well.
With my aps system stock injector and fuel pump TD04 ->

See no lag... That was in a 110* day in phx

 

well i really ddint want to go with another top mount as i have been wanting a front mount all the time since i got my car... i just wanna know whats a good turbo to put on along with some injectors and fuel pumps...

 

Did you just want a fmic for the looks or something? It's all up to you and what you want. You can keep the FMIC and have some more lag or you could go with a big TMIC and have a car thats more fun to drive around town and such.

 

well i just got a deal on a fp18g so that will be going into my car when i have the injectors and fuel pumps to go with ti

 

Well thats good, at least you'll be using your FMIC to its full potential now. What injectors are you gunna go with?
