Resurrection so I don’t have to start a new thread, about to pick up my 2002 bug eye with a 207 bottom end (205 heads, inlet mani etc)

Amongst other things such as a going over by galvsport, re-doing the brakes as they are a bit shitty and a few other bits and pieces performance wise I am thinking:-
VF22 turbo
Link ecu (cos its free)
Pink top injectors
Warlbro pump
Process west or sti top mount
Chasing 300whpish on 98
Already has a turbo back exhaust.

How will the standard 5 speed enjoy 300whp, the overall plan is to go a sti 6 speed, however not for a bit.

God damn it’s a long time since I looked at WRX’s, I feel my knowledge has been replaced with RB28s and GTRs

under closer inspection a VF35 would be better :P

VF34/p20 would be a better choice!

I'm running 310hp on a 5 speed (have been for 3 years) - mechanical sympathy rules!

As above. Like Ross, I also run a 5 speed with very similar numbers getting pushed through it. If you drive it without trying to break it, you won't.

TD05 is a journal bearing while the VF is a ball bearing. VF will spool better.

The VF22 spool up characteristics can be significantly reduced by modifying the wastegate , so that it does not open prematurely.
Apparently the spring in the actuator cracks open the wastegate at <7 psi.
I have been running an external helper spring 10lb and that preloads the wastegate ,resulting in the wastegate remaining firmly shut during spool up.
I have not changed the original Link ecu map after this mod.
The car now accelerates very aggressively.

Hey Guys,

Can anyone elaborate on the following Turbo's below. Differences as in when boost kicks in etc. I know the VF43 is standard on the MY06/07 STi but would a VF48 be a better option over the VF43 on a MY06 STi nowadays? Also is the VF48 a direct fit to the MY06 STI.


VF43 TB, PZ18 ex.h/47.9mm c.h/9b c.w/0.63 A/R - OZ/US MY06-07 STi
VF48 TB, PZ?? - OZ/US MY08+ STi


Cheers
