I think depending on age, mileage, history of the car uping the power could lead to engine failure or the gear box dropping itself all over the floor. Some classic have been run up to 400 bhp on standard internals and some have blown to bits at standard level. The chance is yours.
If you wish to risk it then I would suggest as chopperman suggests, a good remap by a well known and respected mapper such as bob rawle, Andy forest, Simon aka jolly green monster to name a few but bob gets my vote. Before doing so it may be and idea to go for an after market ecu such as a simtec or similar, although that would be more than having the standard ecu mapped but it would eliminate the maf which is not a bad idea on these cars.
Although you would see more power and earlier spool it may be worth seeing a little more power Nd go for a sc36 or if not an older vf34/35 albeit the sc36 a billet version would see more power and quicker spool the old vf range still make for a nice road car. You may need a fuel pressure regulator to get a bit more out of the standard 380 injectors which I think are fitted to your car if not a set of 440 or 550's for future proofing. A cheeky decat downpipe wouldn't go a miss too or a full system if funds allow, have that lot all mapped up should make for a nice little package
I would of thought the clutch should be ok to this level but with the extra grunt it nay start to slip so that may have to be addressed. Hopefully if its been well looked after in the past and you don't gun it off the lights at every givien chance, drive it with some mechanical sympathy and service it correctly then you "should" be ok
Good luck

The problem with this forum is there are some not so well off people buying scoobs and asking for help with problems and then we have some Toryboy daddys boys rich kids who look down and make snobbish remarks.although I gotta admit there are more Barryboys buying scoobs than evos.
To the OP atleast your honest. We all put our foot down sometimes no way did we buy our cars to drive like grannies!
Here they come.......

Stevie what a great sensible post, thanks very much for your input. I should have explained from the beginning my car has been mapped and has 440.s fitted along with a td05 and an apexi and commander, 3 port and later spec map sensor and running 1.3 bar. Im just looking for some advice on a turbo that would be quicker spooling but make similar power to the td05. The turbo that keeps coming up seems to be the vf34.

a) I hate the Tories more than even New Labour
and
b) every penny I have I have made myself
therefore if that is aimed at me you are a prize misinformed ****.
If not no worries and peace be with you

On the other hand, if you were side by side and both went for it and he pulled away and you are blaming lag, then maybe you should of knocked it down a cog..
I still prefer my first post in this thread tho....

OP, don't forget the liddle SC36 Billet!
Allegedly spools not far off a TD04 - I'm guessing it's gonna feel like a VF28/29(?) - and should make c.<360 on V-Power. I think one made 381 on a 2.1, or it might have been on a 2.0 with VP+meth. Can't recall the spec, etc.
Best of 'all' worlds... 'Cause you'll then need the top end for when you hit the straights! LOL

Hi there
At least ported headers with Harvey Up pipe I would recommend,this can bring spool up to nice RPM and few extra bhp
GT spec headers will be for you needs overkill and you can loose spool up.
Your turbo should be OK(good) for 330-350bhp(seen few of them make 350bhp like on classic or new age),think better injectors will be needed
Better TMIC or FMIC will be good addition at this level too
But for best advice speak to your mapper(Andy F),which would help you decide on the next steps

Ok, I`ll try to put it in a way you`ll understand....I class spirited driving as doing 60mph ish on a twisty B road, enjoying how the car handles and being in control....but being legal. Any **** can thrash down a dual carriageway / motorway at 145 (except the OP cos obviously he gets owned by RS`s ) the point is, time and place and not endangering other road users. I apologise if I sounded a bit harsh in my original post but if you read it, I wasn`t actually having a go at him. My point was to let the RS`s, corsas, Saxos etc., get on with it and don`t get baited. Yes I too get all sorts up my ****, but I get satisfaction from knowing I can easily get away from them but it`s much more fun to actually slow down and wind the ***** up

hey there yab,
i cant help you with you'RE (did i get that right?) mechanical dilemas, i know **** all about it!
what i can say though is as a new owner of a Type UK running about 320BHP i have to say im a little dissappointed with the take up on these cars. i used to own a standard focus ST and im pretty certain it would have blown my current car away from a standing start, prob caught it eventually, but the ST was smooth as you like right from the off. only 3 years apart in age so its not like the technology is worlds apart.
After reading this thread tho, im wondering if i shoud go back!!

hi bud an welcome along, dont let this thread put you off by the way there are some sound guys on here who are very helpful.I know what you mean about the focus st,s they are quite quick off the mark. Thats one of the reasons i started this thread was to get ideas of a quicker spooling turbo for mine. a hybrid td04 from andy forrest or a vf34 are the choices i think i have.

Not sure,how much OE FPR can be pushed.
If you are thinking get aftermarket FPR,I would sent them to the Mark@Lateral Performance to re-flowing them.
Andy F TD04 Hybrid will be good,but will run out the power at 320-330bhp,must admit great spooling turbo
VF34 great turbo,have before and really nice spooling turbo too
But still think your current turbo is capable to make 340-350bhp and spool you can gain as I said with ported headers with Harvey Up-pipe,please beware cheap ebay Up pipes those can kill your spool up(friend run this and he hit full boost on the TD04 at 4k RPM)

jura thanks for your replies as always. wasnt expecting an answer at this time of the morning lol. im up watching the ufc. ok so stick with current turbo and improve the breathing with a fmic,induction and ported headers then another map? i apologise as i never mentioned but i have an adjustable fpr fitted.

With ported headers plus Up pipe,FMIC,induction kit and your current turbo(TD05H-16G) you can expect more like you have right now...
But for sure,best will be speaking with your mapper
