Question Which turbo for MY97 STI 3

Hi Guys, Hows it going? I'm new bloke to the forum and need some advice on my pride and joy.

I have had MY97 STI ver3 for just under a year now and have made various mods to car and now have it running at 321.4BHP and 303lb of torque @ 1.4bar. I want to achieve 400BHP and want some advice on what turbo I should get to achieve that figure.

Here are a list of the current mods made to the car.

Blitz FMIC
Blitz BOV
Apexi Induction Kit
High flow sports cat
3" titanium cat back system - 5" exit
Greddy profec B boost controller
Apexi Power FC with controller
Walbro 255 fuel pump

Car is great but now its time for more power!!!!

I have done some research but am now on what is the best turbo to get. If anyone Can suggest a decent upgrade please give me a shout.

Cheers Karim

P.S if anyone needs any advice fitting a FMIC give me a shout as I did mine.

This is just my opinion:

Please go to Projects and read (if you dare) my thread on my engine (Sti v3) and my chase for 380/400bhp
To get to the turbo, i have an TD05 20g from andyF but with supporting mods. You might wish to go for a TD05 18g instead, but the 20 g engine is a real cracker.
Mine has RR'd @ 407 bhp and 380 bhp in the same year.
It goes/sounds a bit like this:

Hi Graham, That video is great car looks and sounds awesome. I am only a quarter of the way through your threads!!!! The car looks great and some of the mods are fantastic. I will carry on reading to get more of an idea to get to that 400 mark. Your 407 is that at the wheels or flywheel? Cheers Karim
