2008 v11 STI GRB Turbo Upgrade


raybe

Recommended Posts

Turbo question! I have a 2008 GRB and am currently thinking about getting more power out of it. My current set up:

K&N Typhoon cold air intakeFUJITSUBO 3" Cat-Back exhaust

Rage 3" downpipe

FactoryVF49 Twinscroll turbo

Factory Blue 525cc injectors

227kw on 19 psi tuned at rapid performance here in Timaru

The next stage i was thinking was: AEM 320LPH Fuel pump, 900cc injectors and a Kinugawa TD06SL2-20g turbo Possibly going FMIC at the same time. From what i've been told the factory sti up pipe and headers arn't worth upgrading at this stage?

This will be my first experience for a turbo upgrade and want to know everyone's thoughts.

Thanks!

To be honest, since you're after some more power, while the Kinugawas are good for factory fitment, they're still old tech.

While yes the Holsets are big turbo's, with T/S you can get really good response and very linear power curve and you'll spend the same money for one as a TD06.

You will however have to do a twisted turbo setup and go to front mount. imho, totally worth it.

Biggest issue with holset is you spend the cost of the turbo in fab and bits. Td06 in a bolt on housing thro murch be 1500 tops with all required shizl. Other option is blouch good turbo bolt on for most subarus again pricey

I have a kinugawa td06sl2 turbine wheel bought new, direct from the online kinugawa shop. It has no damage to the item, at all, period. I personally witnessed it spun up on a balancing machine. The turbine wheel was not fitted to the shaft square so at low rpm it appears to have a wobble. The backside of the turbine wheel has been machined to balance the shaft. It is far from the same quality of manufacture of a genuine mhi turbine wheel. If you have a balance and a mhi wheel to compare against I'd gladly show you.

What do you have?

Pretty aggressive post against someone offering a suggestion and not bagging the product.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
