I have a 2005 LGT with a VF38 stock..

Looking to upgrade Turbo & Injectors (already upgraded fuel pump)

What do you guys recommend ? Hoping for something direct bolt on ... Or minimal modifications

Is your engine built?

What are you looking for in terms of power? A responsive setup or top end output?

Did not forge out.
Looking for more top end but nothing too laggy and i want to keep stock TMIC

Currently running 21PSI on stock vf38 turbo

Ecutek Tuned on super with water meth

21PSI on the 38 is just at the limit of that turbo. You're probably already a bit out of the efficiency range.

I would personally recommend around an 18G spec turbo. That should give you a nice balance of response and topend without pushing the stock block too hard.

I would also recommend around a 750CC Injector Upgrade. But that really depends on your tune, current IDC and the nozzle you're running on the meth kit. But 750CC will give you a good amount of headroom.

As for brand, You can check out Blouch, FP, Tomioka, Kinugawa.

I would personally recommend the FP HTA71. FP has a sale on right now and the price is very good. It has great response and excellent topend. I'm not sure if its a bolt on application for the legacy though. If not, the other manufacturers would have something for you.

I agree with what he said.
Also when you doing the turbo upgrade it's also a good idea to upgrade the downpipe. And install a wideband. Check back boost lines and redo if nessary. Secure ect.

vf38 means 5eat. Keep in mind turbo response with automatic as well as torque limit on the tranny. I have a vf37 in my 5eat legacy and maxing out stock injectors @ about 18psi,with methanol. Sometimes i get a slip on 1st to 2nd gear change. I will be doing a valvebody mod in the near future to ensure the tranny holds up to my power level.

tomioka 20g twin scroll will be a nice upgrade.

750cc injectors will be able to work nice with this...you can check DW750 injectors (side feed)

had this on mine and it wasn't laggy at all..sold it to a guy and now he is doing around 320whp with a conservative tune because his engine is not forged.

but I've seen this turbo do 400whp on ej20 with meth.

was that with tranny or gearbox?
