STi TMIC is more than capable of the job.

As for stood in traffic, how often are you sat in heavy traffic and then suddenly have the space to hammer the car?

I run an sti top mount at 401. Road car also used for sprinting. never had a problem with temps. Yes they rise a bit while stationary(i have a temp guage) but not to excess. And not enough to get ant negtive effects on performance. My turbo is being squeezed pretty dam hard to acheive the power from a small turbo. So id guess the sti top mount must work pretty well

Even sprinting sat in a que for 10 or so mins with the motor running then a full bore start of a start line. Never experienced a temp problem

Nice one! Thanks for the info guys!


Now just gotta decide wether to get a TD05 or an SC for double the price

Use the money you saved from getting an intercooler and get an md321

Haha oh Jesus that's another 2 turbos thrown jnto the mix... I'm now well and truly baffled!

Ok so what I want is a car that is awesome for the road and light track, I.e a good drive able car, but also want a good amount of power. What is the best turbo? Don't want to forge my engine yet either so can't really be going above 350-370bhp right?

Any suggestions will be listened to

A td05/18g with billet wheel would be my suggested turbo for your requirments and based on cost. The sc turbos are good. But imo over priced for the extra gained. An 18g should see 360/70 with the correct supporting parts without issue

Just don't forget that your gearbox isn't going to be very happy at higher power levels...
