New Turbo Upgrade ?

[scoobnoob]

Hi all,

Nearly finished modding my 96 sti RA Vltd, for a bit of knockhill action. So far the mods are:-

HKS front mount

Full System exhaust including decat downpipe and up pipe

Fuel pressure regulator

bosch fuel pump

550 cc injectors

apexi cone filter

apexi power fc with Andy Forrest remap

exedy clutch

lightened flywheel

Brembo’s front and back

KYB shocks

I said to myself, when I got this all done that would be me happy, as I don’t want to blow the engine up, but I’ve got the bug and need even more power! So I’m thinking on a turbo upgrade, either getting my current one reconditioned or a new one. So I was wondering if anyone had upgraded their turbo recently and what you would recommend?

Also is there any other engine upgrades that would be necessary before fitting a new turbo, I’ve heard the headers might need done?

Cheers

321H should see circa 400bhp with the goodies you already have

TD05 20G turbo is readily available and pretty cheap too considering others.

Your standard headers are fine for over 400hp, but you'd see a difference getting them ported.

Any bigger than what you have will stress the gearbox on that year of RA

I would look to brakes and suspension tomake the car go quicker
