Has anyone had experience (good or bad) with these brands of turbos, I'm looking to upgrade to a TD05-20g sized turbo and would like to hear personal experiences and researched opinions please. I'm also interested in the small differences between the turbos sold by these brands.

I want a stock position bolt-on turbo as I want to keep the standard TMIC (car is an 02 STI with headers, fuel pump, decapped injectors and turbo inlet pipe).

Fp great turbos...

I'm running a deadbolt td05 and having nothing bad to say at all. I love it. Would get it over a vf34 any day of the week.

Now I realise people will pull the piss out of me and the car now, but what happened was through no fault of the snail. Granted mines a TD06-20, however, I am more than impressed with the build quality of them, fitment, etc etc, and these turbos will bolt into standard place no dramz.

As well as having correct flanges for subaru dump and up pipes. Rossco will vouch they are built well. And I went 330h/395n no probs at all at 1.5b. (Again, slightly bigger than the one youre chasing).

I would recommend Blouch to anyone. American, (not 'china spec'), they are a worthy contender to more expensive brands.

I have an FP TD06 and I absolutely love it..

I have a 2005 sti and fitted a Forced Performance FP18G SL2. Which is actually a TD05-18G thats ported and uses a TD06 SL2 compressor wheel.

I managed 300hp(5600rpms) and 420Nm (3600rpms) at the hubs with this running about 1.4bar and the sti TMIC.

I cant fault the turbo, I dont push my car heaps (nowdays) but have had this in the car for over 2 years without any issues at all.

I think FP have a few other turbo's now but yeah, cant complain.

only because your turbo is too small Brent!

I'm purchasing a FP turbo for my car, keen to see what the fuss is about. Although its going to be a little bigger than what you're after. Exchange rate is still fantastic right now, get on it!

Sorry to hi-jack but can anyone shed some light on these Kando/Kinugawa turbos?

I was trying to shooed between a used VF28 and one of the smaller TD05's from Kinugawa... What would I be better off doing?

I ran a Blouch TD05 20g, great responsive turbo if you don't want the extra lag of a TD06 and aren't aiming for 400+hp bought from Troy at ProSpeed (T-Rexx).

Good for 365hp and 515nm but that was it's limit

365hp and 515nm

New Beast to arrive April 2015 - 365hp, 450nm, 0-100 in 4.4sec. AMG Goodness!

Gav aka "STi325V6" just got one of the new Kinugawa Twin Scroll ones and the results were extremely poor to say the least.

Power was actually quite alot lower than it should have been, so I'd say stay well away from them and go for a well known branded turbo.
