ebo03 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Bryan tells me that he also has a billet 20G upgrade available for the 5th gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Anyone have estimations/guestimations on power levels that can be achieved on our platforms with each one of these setups??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerophool Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Bryan told me ~330 whp for the 18g and ~370 whp for the 20g. Our engines are limited to ~24-25 psi boost. You search for IslandBorn's thread for his 18g upgrade, near the end are the dyno's (he had two different tunes, so look for the second set). It confirms the 18g numbers though. Current Mileage as of 19-June-15: 15012 Purchase Date: 30-June-12 Visit my profile page (visitor message section) for a brief mod. list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MFB_ Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 What info are you looking for? My turbo is at BNR awaiting 20G upgrade. I was hoping I can get a vf54 core and have that rebuilt for Bryan. See my location ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_MFB_ Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 yeah, so looking at some assistance. I can have the vf54 sent from the Philippines via 2 day business, Fedex. How long will work be done? Easier to get a vf54 core in the US and send it to Bryan for rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_MFB_ Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 thanks, seems a call is a must as that's what he said on the email last time. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Wonder if the hta71 is something he could probably do..just throwing it out there for ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrstacy Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 What's the concensus on these turbos? Looking for quickNess on street versus freeway. Want reliability too. And not too big of a mpg hit. Is that like asking to have my cake and eating it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Talk to bbpeik, or acumenhokie, or islandborn. All have turbo upgrades with supporting mods. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not too big of a mpg hit. Is that like asking to have my cake and eating it? In general, you will likely find that the recommended upgrade to go with is the 18G, and billet if you can find it. There's a lot of information from reliable sources showing that the 20G provides no additional performance gain and sacrifices a bit of response time. Ask me how I know...

ebo03 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I've had a BNR 20G since August 2013, about 40k miles ago. No issues. I was tuned at IAG and made 350/360 with a custom FMIC and ETS header with twin Tial MV-S wastegates. For reference, a stock STI makes 225 on their dyno. Our stock turbo is relatively small so there is really only so much that can be done to them to increase performance. I can't say there is a noticeable difference in lag and now the car has some nice top end power. Bryan is a good guy and the best way to contact him is via phone.
