Hi the turbo did not make as much boost as expected but it was a Kinugawa td0520g, billet wheel, 8cm housing, sts 9 blade wheel. The mapper did comment that it was not making as much boost as it should of been, but the turbo is the cheaper £650 turbo and is half the price of the usual 400bhp turbo chargers... Wish i bought a more expensive turbo now lol...Anyway its all running good, maybe i will upgrade the turbo in a year or 2...
I did change injectors though... and went FMIC, to be fair.

You can easily run 400-450 on a 2.5 inch bore with all the supporting mods , Fmic injectors decent turbo not your sh$te , iv told you it's not the bore size .. I asked about your down pipe as you hadn't stated it in post 1 .. Open 3 taping down to 2.5 is fine for your projected 400..
At the end of the day if you haven't forged the internals I would replace your turbo with the stock 43 as you can't run much boost safely anyway so there is no point in expecting miracles ... You may find you have a massive bill ahead if that China special fails on you tho .
Good luck...

Its only down to the turbo I thought, the other comment I made was that it could have a subtle air leak somewhere as the airflow into the engine was not what I would have expected to see, its not normally possible to get 400 bhp on pump fuel from a 20g, and not wise to do so if the engine is a standard 2.5 litre.
The turbo's are very cheap though !

Pretty common to see crap results from their turbo's im afraid, was a post a couple of weeks back where one was supplied with the wrong oil feed an it killed itself.
There cheap for a reason, the odd occasional one seems to do ok, but you seem to hear about poor results than good results.
Buy cheap, buy twice

regardless of the turbo i think i would be happy with the power it made ..don,t understand why you kept the standard exhaust when theres so many decent second hand ones going about from breakers on here at half the price from new ..
heard theres a few subaru garages using them turbos now .

The main thing is the car is running nice and making decent power, BUT! you probably could of made more power on your standard vf43.
