HUUUGGE thanks to Harvey for his amazing help and guidance with parts and my general nagging and a missive thanks to Duncan@RaceDynamix for mapping up my car

Decided after much thought that the power route was for me so after many a email to Harvey i had purchased his version of the Td05 18G and a set of his ported headers and matched up-pipe:

OOoooo Shiney

and the headers:


Got those all fitted up then it was onto Duncan to set a date

before i knew it he was round and setting everything up:


All went super well and cars is running sweet and not to mention silly quick!!!



Small downside was me unknowingly driving into a travlers area and getting pretty much flocked by them and one walking upto Duncan's window with a metal bar in his hand... i quite quickly decided to reverse out and leave before something went down

 

just put the phone call in to duncan got him coming to me to play with my scoob in two weeks......cant wait

 

good times ahead

 

So what was the bhp? How is your spool?

 

Good effort nice looking Scoob

 

Nothing like getting filled in by Gipsies

 

haha they soon noticed me car sitting there rubbling away and slowly started gathering... the metal pole in hand was my point to leave with my car intact or a car at all lol!

Duncan done an amazing job and made sure the turbo was glowing and that we had everything from it we could to a safe level.

Spool wise it isn't particularly different to how my Vf35 was... think full boost slightly before 4k or there abouts but plenty of torque low down to push it through. once in comes on song it really does pull you hard!! 1,2,3 are all gone in a flash

also it was road mapped so no figures as of yet till i get to some rollers but Duncan was confident it will be at least 350 possible more. I have a Prodrive sports cat in place so could still squeeze out more in i went 3" straight through

Thanks for the kind words guys much appreciated

 

duncan did mine last week top bloke mine is a bug wrx full decat k&n typhone induction kit and prodrive 3 port boost solinoid was hitting 1.5bar boost at just over 2500 revs lol car felt so different was well impressed he is a legend

 

good stuff mate, car looks sweet

 

Yeah i know what you mean, Duncan also mapped my brother in laws wrx bugeye the same morning. I drove it while he mapped it and the rate at which the hybrid Td04 was spooling was madness! pretty much made boost standing still

Thanks very much mate

 

Where did your BIL get his TD04 Hybrid CL? I have one on my WRX Bug too.

 

I ordered it from Andy Forrest on the exchange basis for his old stock Td04... great piece of kit if you ask me

 

As did I - and agreed!

Will be back to Andy when I get a Hawk STi next year.

 

If your getting a hawk Harvey has a wicked TD05 18G and 20G that would work amazing on a 2.5... the 18G on mine is very very good but would be right in it's element on a 2.5

all the best on the hunt for a Hawk eye, i might get one next lol

 

Discussed turbos on Hawks with Andy.

He reckoned the std STi turbo (is it the VF43?) was pretty good on Hawk STi's and there was little benefit in going for a TD05 18G on that car. Hence I''ll stick with the std turbo, stick a Milltek on, get it remapped and spend the turbo money on brakes and Prodrive springs instead.

 

I forgot about the metal bar situation - that was a little worrying !

Car runs very nicely and is a lovely shiney white example

 

Thanks again Duncan, still running perfecto!... just waiting on those little vac lines from RCM to run the full 1.5bar, still 1bar feels mighty quick!
