Such a loaded question. But a td05 with an upgraded wheel might be what you are looking at... Fitment wise I think td06 is getting to the limit?

Also be prepared for lagg unless you have a fully worked engine

More to spooling a turbo than an ecu.

^^ This.

Things to look into are A/M exhaust and intake systems. Front facing plenum. Cams with head work. Also the basics like the method of how the piping is done so to allow less restriction and a smoother flow. For example removing the stock flexi in the up pipe or changing to a silicone intake that removes the plastic corrugated stock part. You\'ll also need to upgrade fuel supply in most older cars

Others can fill in the finer details but this is what you can start researching

what car do u have and what current mods....

if you want a stock loccation turbo then u will be limited to any turbo that has a intake mouth of 2.5inch You can get away with slightly bigger mouth by getting a bit creative but there is possibly a 3 inch limit to that as the intake pipe under the manifold is only so big

next u will have to consider all your supporting mods for the chosen turbo (im guessing you have a target HP u wana get?)

also budgets u have to play with?

Why do you want the biggest bolt on turbo?

[Roo]

Do you really need to have the biggest bolt on turbo? I think you\'ll be impressed by the difference a well matched turbo will make.

Yea i currently will have twisted up and down pipe set, 3inch strait through exhaust, will have aftermarket fule pump, intercooler and the possum link. And the reason im asking is i want to know what the limits are for a sti motor. What the best combination is. I like the td turbos as they are a solid turbo compared to others. Im just trying to play with combinations.

It was more a question of interest to see what combinations work.

td05 18/20g or a td06 or vf22

end tread

[DacerX]

gtlegacy is selling a td05 20g with 8cm exhaust housing, that would be a good turbo

[Guest]

A vf anything has the potential to nuke your sti block. Read the thread I posted up about making power in wrxs.
