XT's are cool but they have a criminally undersized turbo(so do 2.5 WRX's). Please change it for something more approriate as soon as your warranty conscious allows.
Engineering for dummies. Increase engine capacity by 25%, increase turbo size by 0%. Make sense? Maybe for emissions purposes.

Sounds good, I'll tell them to jam it.
I've seen with some breathing mods, you can easily get 170awkw which is probably enough in that sort of car. I doubt I would ever bother changing turbos - went that route with the wrx and spent a fortune on fuel (what the fuck happened with that in the last year btw?!).Originally posted by Mr JonesComment

A TDO4 won't get you 170atw.
It will get you boost at 1500rpm and nothing after 3k rpm though.
It produces the numbers and it does them lazy and low in the rev range but that doesn't make it a good choice of turbo.

On the power upgrades, just looking at MRT (even though I'm not a huge fan, they do it reliably) and with zorst, air filter, and fiddle with puter, they are getting a bit over 160awkw on 13psi. Anything over that, and they're obviously changing the snail. I could live with that. Although the 206awkw kit would be nice, it's not supposed to be a drag car.Originally posted by Mr JonesComment

My parents bought a Brumby style Subaru Wagon new in 1979. Even that was fully galvanised way back then."If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough horsepower." - Mark Donahue Penske Porsche 917

is the 160awkw quoted by MRT? If so its probably at the hubs which reads significantly higher than an AWD chassis dyno.Comment

You can see it on the dyno sheet (listed in the parts kits).Originally posted by jizzmonkeyOriginally posted by Mr JonesComment
