haha that's the exact same response I got from a mate... It's a manual...

Bone stock, got an exhaust arriving from Oz soon. Plan is, exhaust + turbo + tune at the same time. Don't plan to up the boost much, it's a daily driver. I'm now checking if I can't find an TDO4L from a later model WRX, maybe just go with 18/19T exhaust wheel.

Ah ha good thinking mate. Yup checked the manufactures manual for the alarm it has a built in turbo timer. Cheers mate

My misses got V9 WRX that had an ecu flash done by HyperDrive before she took ownership. My question is. The car got a turbo timer, but I can't see any little fiddly turbo timer gadget, can this be activated in the ECU via a reflash?

VF52 is a straight bolt on which is exactly what I'm after, but isn't it a bit big for a 2.0L motor? And by big I'm referring that it might just be a bit laggy

Yeah sorry it's a V7 STi (bugeye) The guys on OzFoz fits VF52's and VF48's on their SH9 foresters, but those are 2.5L, mine is a SH5 JDM model XT which is a 2.0L engine.

had a chat with Steve he recommended a TDO4 but that too seems quite tiny... My misses's V9 WRX has a TDO4 in hers, pulls nice, little to no lag, but runs out of puff as well. Drove a mates V8 STi yesterday with a VF30 and that was phenomenal, little lag pulled hard till 6000rpm. So something along those lines would be perfect. EDIT: Meant V7 STi not V8

It's actually for a SH5 which has the same layout as an V11 WRX (Don't know the chassis codes) The SH5's come with a really really tiny TF35HL turbo, explained to a mate yesterday that it starts running out of puff just past 4500rpm, spools real quick but dies down real quick too. Just seeking something that would boost a bit longer through the rev range, not seeking top end power, just improve the drivability. been advised to stay away from Kinugawa

Was wondering what aftermarket or upgraded turbo options are available or people recommend for a V11 WRX with a 2.0 motor. On V11's the turbo now bolts directly onto the TMIC so it makes it hard using previous generation STi turbo's

Hi guys, was wondering if anyone can recommended someone to do some minor steel fabrication for me, preferably someone located in Auckland - Mt Wellington / South Auckland area.
