Need advice- picking turbo

I need advice my tuner just keeps saying vf-52 but i want bigger my friends 2011 wrx is maxed out and turbo dies out around 5500. I know blouch has 380xt and 440xt the 440xt is preety much a 18g as i see 44 lbs with either a 7 or 8 hotside i want to to hit max around 340-360 WHP. my question is which hotside to get 7 or 8 i want to stay on pump 93. External gate, process west top mount, EBC, catless up and down. with the 440xt be to big?? or should i get the process west adapter and use older style turbos then which turbo should i get for optimal spool and again 340-360 whp thanks

What tranny do you have ? 5eat's need a valve body upgrade for that kind of whp.

Kinugawa TD06-20G in LGT fitment. Fun little turbo when I had a rebranded version of it.

VF39+E85 with supporting fuel mods and tuner can be a real fun car.

5MT will be upgrading clutch and flywheel pending which turbo

Of course I looked at sticky... it does'nt tell me which turbo I should get just some numbers and a dumb chart that tells you u, that you 'should' swap a 6 speed and build a short block with a 440xt lol freakin funny manual legy tranny is more than capable of that turbo with out abusing... as well as the motor...

Is the spool nice the td-06 seems big.. no? and i dont want to big of a turbo that when i tone the boost down that its not in its sweet spot.

You sir, are my new favorite member. Buckle up, folks.

The best option will prob be vf52 if those are your goals. If do fuel mods and everything you can make 350whp out of the vf52. It spools faster then the BNR 16g but doesnt hold power all the way. If 350whp is your max whp goal, dont go more than 18g or vf52

This twinscroll might work for your goals:

Imagine how quick it would spool! It says 450-800cc petrol so you would need to run one on each cylinder for optimum performance.
