td05 18g or 20g???
As above which would be best for MY03 sti only used as a daily driver. Got exhaust and remap so looking for the next step but not sure which one t go for. Dont want to spend loads, 1k for the turbo would be tops really so Ill have enough to get it remapped.
Cheers all

It wouldnt be worth it imo going from what you have to a 18g considering costs etc, 20g, MD321H, Blouch Dominator 2.5 XTR is the way forward.

By all means but im sure you would also find its better still with one of the other turbos listed above and so on. The 18G will improve the car but my main point is cost of this improvment compaired to the other options.

20g all the way with avcs heads, it will be a brilliant drive nice early spool and plenty of power top end more than 18g. For that kind of buget you can also get a second hand md321t which is also great on newage car and will make one rapid road car with good spool.
my 20G made 419.5 with some meth and that was on sti4 heads mapped by un-ink

sti03 20g with 2.5inch exhaust
sti03 md321t 3inch exhaust
shame the scaling of rpm is different but the md321t spools earlier than the 20g did.. this is the same car..
best bhp per buck would be an 18g or 20g.. imho..

its my own car Joz.. I use Surrey RR a lot as Charlie will not frig figures and I am happy that a bhp is a bhp there etc.. but yes we were laughing lots when it pulled 399.9 and thought it amusing to stop there.
I also ran the car with the md321T and the same 2.5exhaust and first run on a medium boost map I had slung on to use the car it pulled 399.9 again.. most bizarre.. went on to make 416bhp and the above 451bhp is just a swap to 3inch exhaust and a map tweak.

Simon, have you mapped both 18g's and 20g's on a 2.0L with the lowly v.1/2 WRX heads? Did the 20g make any more meaningul bhp? Would you say the 18g's keener spool would be of more benefit on this engine spec, on the road?
Any graphs showing a comaprison for the above examples, at all?

I would say the 18g would make a better road car on the wrx heads.
I don't really keep graphs of customers cars.. but possibly should as it may help sometimes although numbers are only half the story.

Delta Dash figures 406bhp 369Lbsft on 97 ron fuel and 3ml per litre NF. Dont feel the need to stick it on a rolling road as there are only 3 here in NI and all the results vary massively.
Well happy with the way the car goes, however went for a wee spin in Simons car with the T on it and regret that. Its going to cost me more money lol, the T is much crisper so thats a future upgrade also changing the bottom end to a 2.2.
Bang for Buck has to be a TD of sorts, check out Harvey Smiths prices, BNIB 18G for around £650

Yes done many on the T.
The v7 engine produces slightly less power than the v8 blob and the 05 blob seems to be slightly better still I want to disect heads on all three but I think the changes they made to the 05 sti make it best.
Anyway.. yes it will take the T with no issue. Running a T on my daily driver sti8 standard untouched engine and it is driver hard daily.

I have have a MY02 STI with AndyF TD05-20G, Harvey's ported headers and a Power Engineering 2.5 inch exhaust system with sports cat. Car produced ~350/350 when mapped by AndyF. Andy thought the cat was quite restrictive.
How much of an improvement could I expect by removing the cat? I assume another remap would be required?
Cheers, Mark

Also consider wrapping the downpipe and changing the spark plugs for colder NGK PFR7B's.
