he had to raise it and swap the wheels/tires? whats wrong with your setup?

and if you are eventually gonna go with a gt35, id just wait on turbo and start preparing to build a block

OR

id still recommend a brand new td05 16g for $800 rather than new vf for over a grand or take a chance on a used one

the 16g can push 325-350whp with pretty quick spool - nasioc guys call it the best auto-x turbo for 2.0s

STi & WRX Performance Parts: Blouch Turbo TD05H-16G, WRX & STi

 

that link didn't work. and my buddy will sell me his STi pinks for 200?

 

thats weird, works for me

td0516g turbo - Google Search

and pinks are too small to run on a 16g...at least 740 or 850s ithink

 

yea found the turbo. looks like around 750 - 850 new. hmmmm

 

dunno if ya know but the jdm sti are 2.0L twinscroll's that put out 315 stock.. lol

so this... jdm twinscroll




or this.. atp gtx35r



haha...

 

haha yeah hmmm

my td04 is making noises and i almost pulled the trigger on the 16g cuz they had it for 695$ special offer

buut i didnt want to get injectors, tmic tune etc

 

I already got the headers, uppipe, full exhaust 3" with bellmouth, walbro, intake, fmic, turbo inlet, aftermaf hose, so i figure drop in the turbo and some injectors and ill throw decent #'s down.

 

I would go with the vf39 and pinks since your engine is nearing it's end

 

and he raised it cause i guess if he would have strapped it down the tires would rub. and he took rims off cause he said to much stretch to be dyno safe?

 

thats what i think. especially cause i found the pinks for only 200. now just gotta find a turbo deal. dont wanna push it too far.

 

+1 on building ur motor before the upgrade.. or try and get a sti longblock for cheaper.. than you can slap the atp on with no issues aside from turbo inlet injectors and such.. if i get my turbo idea going soon i'd sell you my pinks n 39 cheap.. just gotta get my ish going as well.. lol

 

dude ill totally take it. Im soo scared to buy used so this would be better. Cause I wont afford the tune for like 2-3 months anyways but Id like the parts chillin waiting. I also found out the fuel pressure regulator vacuum line was undone for like the last week and I wondered what the weird noise was I was hearing under boost was after I let off gas. Like a cough/choke noise. WELL now I know. Ed was like HOLY S**T your soo lucky you didnt bow it up.

 

and to everyone that didnt know the GF is expecting our little girl in February and shes all for me keeping my car. and feb is the month she buys her blue bugeye or white hawkeye.

 

Im also still torn between 2.0 or 2.5

 

i went with 2.0 just to make it a fast and easy swap, but if i had time and money id build a 2.5 for the extra torque
