Turbo recommendations - newage wrx
 
Hi guys, haven't posted on here in a while.
Took my current turbo out on the weekend as the car was smokey on boost and I found loads of oil in the intercooler pipework. No play really but pretty sure the oil seals have gone and it also has a crack in the exhaust housing.

Any recommendations for a turbo to replace my current VF48. I still have a standard wrx bottom end and have been running 350 bhp for the last few years without any issues.
Would like the same sort of power with the same or slightly better spool.
Thanks

Sc36 or vf35 ran 336bhp no prob in my STi

Or cheaper option - send turbo away for refurb :ok:

Had thought about this but by the time I'd got a new exhaust housing, new chra (and added a billet compressor wheel) it's about the same price as a brand new turbo from Taiwan (kinugawa or mamba). Both seem to have lots of good feedback on forums.
I'm not sure really what to do.

Sc36 is probably a little more than I want to spend, but the type of size I'm after. Any idea what an Sc36 is based on? Td05 big 16g? Or which blouch turbo it is? Thanks

Scooby clinic use blouch turbo... not heard of the two turbos you mentioned but I’m not up to speed with these things...

Blouch are sold by scoobyclinic as an sc range instead of what they are actually called but anyway here is a link to the blouch . Alot of the boys up here in scotland have been running kinugawa TD05 for years with no issues .

TD05 16G will run 340/350 2nd hand cheap replacement

Vf34/35 again the same,
depends how much you want to spend really, all above can be had for sub £300

TD05 16g - I've heard some positive reviews of the Kinugwa versions.

Greenie 20-02-2018 10:22 AM

Thanks guys, have a budget of about £700 or so.
Wasn't sure on a 16g or whether to go for a billet 18g 7cm.

May be able to stretch to a small gtx28 turbo too. Gtx2863r?

Theres a TD05 18g billet on face book for £500 posted only done 1500 was built by Craig Bellworthy .
