Default Which Turbo Upgrade for a GB270 (2007)

Guys, Any recommendations for which turbo to upgrade the TD04 in my GB270 to?

Have heard of VF34's VF35's , 20G's......

I'm much of a Turbo biff tbh, so any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers. Al

Are these easy enough to come by? And more importantly how much beer tokens are they likely to set me back??

If you are happy with power aspiration of 330-340 bhp a second hand VF35 that you can source yourself would do the job but you need to get a good one and that is not always easy.
If you were aiming for 340-350 then a VF34 would be a possible turbo.
If you want a new turbo, personally I would go for a TD05 18G, new and this is a rugged unit which should be able to do 360 bhp with all necessary mods.

Hope this helps

Nige.

There are all different kind of turbo out there, but the question is how much can your WRX engine and gearbox handle? personally I wouldnt go over 350 on your standard WRX engine..
