thanks as always for your input jura. how would the 20g spool? i hate lag lol. would a 18g spool up any quicker? the numbers arent quite so important just that im coming from a lighter classic and they say in a newer car you need to run 350 or so to get the same sort of feel? i have a set of api ported headers in the shed which i never got round to fitting for the wagon (my96) would they fit a my02 bug? they would help with spool. i was at ra motorsport to get my wagon mapped from andy f and one of the sidc guys bought a vf35 for his gb270 and had it fitted and it made 360 bhp! of course the gb270 is a 2.5 but the turbo went well. thanks for your input.
My bug sti with 20g, rcm headers, fmic, stock injectors

nice graph jay, spool looks ok there as well. my wagon pulls from around 3000rpm on a td05 so similar spool by the looks of it. would the 18 spool up any quicker? any idea on the headers i mentioned? be handy if they fitted. cheers

Depends on turbo and headers used plus good Up pipe as Harvey(AS Performance selling this Up pipe will helps to spool turbo
18G will spools quicker,but on V-power alone will not make 380-400bhp,I would suggest speak with John@Barveheart Developments http://www.braveheartracingdevelopments.com/
He can make for you Billet 20G which will spools much better than non billet and you can gain on Top end too
Those ported headers should fit yours,but still I would add Harvey Up pipe,if you want to go above 400bhp,then GT Spec headers you will need and if its budget then MDX321T or MDX555 range is awesome like on 2.0L or 2.1L
