bhinak Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I'm trying to decide which to get. I have the funds for either. If I went with the 18g I'll be able to have money to put towards further mods, butt the avo is a ball bearing and is supposedly going to "outlast my car." can you guys give me some input? shooting for about 350 whp. current mods are: invidia catless dp gutted up Perrin tmic going to be getting DW 65c fp DW 850cc injectors aquamist hfs3 Infamous Accessport tune debating on going front mount any one have any experience with either turbo or recommendations?

bmx045 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 850's are overkill for an 18g. I'll be running 850's with my 20g. A local lgt'er 05 5eat pulled 344 on the tapioka 20g/td05. I would go fmic and forget the aquamist. Done. The perrin tmic wont do jack for you. With the flow of an 18g+ better go PW or fmic. All those shitty top mounts will do is heatsoak in a flash, then youll be prone to knock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhinak Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Well I live in alaska...even in the summer we rarely see temps over 70 and its 50 or under for most of the year. My perrin is ice cold pretty much all of the time. Lately my iat hasn't been above 25*, but i wanna do a front mount anyway so im selling my perrin. What do you think of the avo? Too much money for ball bearing goodness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 regular journal bearing turbos have been around for decades, i wouldnt spend the money on a BB....save the $$ for other items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need bb Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I am running Kinugawa TD05-20G 8cm and have been very happy. If you are looking for above 300WHP I wouldn't even look at the 18G. I would also stick with a TMIC, my IPR has worked fine but the fitment wasn't that good with the larger turbo. The PW would be perfect and as you can see from my post I make full boost around 3400RPM's which is really good. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/turbo-week-171262p3.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhinak Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 For the price of a process west I might as well go front mount. Spend 200 more and get a kickass AVO FMIC and call it a day. Or save 200 and get a racer x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahr_side Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 To hit 350whp you would want at least a TD06SL2-20G. A FMIC would certainly help you at this point, and that frees you from the limitations of flange-style turbos. All kinds of STi-fitment options open up at this point. You probably also want to look at the Blouch offerings as 350whp is right at the top of the range of results you see from TD06-20G setups, even with all supporting mods. I didn't see headers on your shopping list. I think a decent header is going to be essential if you're shooting for 350whp, preferably EL. Did you upgrade your clutch already? No way in hell the stocker is going to hold up to this. Obligatory '[URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2008-gh8-238668.html?t=238668"]build thread[/URL]' Increased capacity to 2.7 liters, still turbo, but no longer need spark plugs.
