New turbo.

Hey im considering upgrading my turbo for my 06 wrx. Between the new sti turbos and the vf39 whats the difference and what would you recommend? Not looking to go too big. The turbo would me matched up with an sti tmic.

 

Both are close enough. Spools about the same and makes about the same power.
VF39/43/48 will do fine

 

Thank you. and to do this will i need a new inlet hose?

 

what is comparable to these but has a ball bearing set up.

 

The newer vf turbos have a larger wastegate from what I have been told.
Are we talking brand new or new to you?
Just wondering considering my post below.

Blouch has turbos that are direct bolt up with stock location and are larger and some cheaper than the new vf ones.

 

Get the fp black turbo

 

Christian, if your motor is stock stick with a sti vf turbo. Your stock inlet hose will be good enough and should fit fine.

 

update. front springs are off. i will get a pic of them tomorrow when i get the rears off.

 

f***k wrong post. sory guys... thanks kvang, ill end up going with a vf39 more than likely. how did that lip turn out?

 

The 48 also dosent have the problem with the cracking on the exhaust housing either from my understanding.
