i reckon stick a T04Z 1.06AR on there... lag just gets you all excited for when boost hits

The FP Green is more drag-orientated isn't it Tino?

I'm not into drag racing, i want a turbo with more oompff for circuit track days (non MC).

In noob terms, i just want it to pull hard, and not die off.

Stick with the 35 Huy - just screw as much boost as you can into it until it dies.

Jaron - forget spending more $ on turbo - go coilovers instead.

Jaron,
heres a plot from my vf35 vs a much larger PE1820 (larger vf22 equivelent)
comparing race fuel tunes, the vf35 held more torque, had less lag and almost exactly same peak hp, then compared to vf35 on pump fuel, i was still able to acheive 230-240kw ath and still have reasonable torque towards redline.

Don't mean to hijack your thread, but i'm in the same boat. I have an 06 wrx, and am tossing up between VF34, GTPS01, and PSR400. I want a very streetable package. What are your thoughts?

I dont think the green is a very 'streetable' turbo. Look at the FP 20G

IMPRESHER · #47 10-09-2006, 11:04 AM

The fp 30 red i think it is ..Not bad

20G sacrifices a bit of outright top end power, for better response.

For example, mine used to hit full boost at 4000rpm with the stock 2L motor and FMIC. With the new motor (2L with heads and cams), it hits full boost around 3300-3500rpm

Impressive graph Stacey! So it looks like its between the 20g, the Green or the VF35.
Coilovers next on the list.
