Just wondering if there's any real way of making more power without getting a new turbo kit. I think once I add up the price of my maddad headers with all the required additional equipment, I could've upgraded my turbo...but no biggie.


Current engine related mods (including once I install my new headers):

Invidia Catless Downpipe
Megan Racing Catless Uppipe (will be replaced by maddad uppipe)
GReddy Ti-C Catless Exhaust
Injen Cold Air Intake
GReddy Blow Off Valve RS
MadDad Equal Length Header/Uppipe
Boost Pill

My goal is to reach at least 300WHP/300WTQ. My girls been dynotuned by GST pushing 227WHP/221WTQ. I'm hoping to not have to break my bank to purchase an upgraded turbo if I don't have to.


Any suggestions?

 

Corn juice if you are willing to make the switch

 

why not buy an used STi turbo?

 

you're gonna need corn juice and a bigger turbo to approach anywhere near 300 whp on a 2.0. Moving to a 2.5 litre will help but that costs $$$$

 

Yep. E85 and a vf turbo.

 

2 liter? You won't hit true 300whp even on a VF43 and 91 octane. You can make 280wtq though and that's a great amount of power and can break the stock tranny easily.

In short, get a VF turbo and don't bother with the TD04 :-)

I was actually thinking about that, switching to cornjuice but I figured I would go bankrupt in no time because my WRX is my DD, so I don't want to burn through E85 like crazy.

I haven't bought a used turbo because...well its used and there could be someething wrong with it.. =[

In time, I think maybe in a couple months when I have more money, I will upgrade to the Blouch TD05H 16G turbo (http://www.fastwrx.com/dezitd16gtuu.html) with supporting mods like upgraded 740 CC fuel injectors, upgraded fuel rails, upgraded fuel pump

 

if you want 300whp on a 2.0 (and that power is a lot of fun) you need to speak to Mike Wharfield at GST. 300whp is childsplay to Mike. He will put you on the right path.

 

Thanks, I just sent an email over to Mike at GST. I'm hoping to hear back from him within next week.
