Probably telling you how to 'suck eggs' but If your going to the trouble of putting on a TD04, could be worth thinking about a VF turbo. Still gives a good spool but will give better BHP.

It would be better than the TD05 but not as good as a TD04.

But can see your line of thinking as out of all the various scoobs and tuned scoobs I have had the best and most enjoyable daily driver has always been: as simply as a decat downpipe, stock exhaust or prodrive backbox, UK, with TD04 and TEk2 ECU. Might only be circa 250-270bhp but as a road car was by far the most enjoyable drive.

Only other car that was spot on was a 2.5 classic, top mount, running a 20g.

I have yet to drive one, but I reckon Subaru must have got it spot on with the 2.5 Hawkeye STI, and with a decat and remap reckon it must make for a very nice drive.
