MY03 Sti and Twin Scrool turbo setup

[BALISTC]

The twin scroll turbo is touted to have MUCH less lag than an ordinary turbo, while still retaining good mid range and top end...thats the main advantage.

As for robustness and reliability, they are exactly the same as a normal turbo

Not sure if the WRC cars run twin scroll though..

Balistc: Can we have pics of your car?

If that is how it looks in ur avatar (not sure if its photoshopped or not) its totally horn!

Balistic: Thanks for the info. Looks like a worthwhile upgrade then if not chasing monster horse power. That 6k might come down too in a few years time, and it'd be interesting to see what the aftermarkets have.

Any info on whether the Driver Controlled Centre Diff can be installed in an Oz-Spec STi?

They wouldn't need to; lag's really the only thing the "twin-scroll" turbo's about, innit? Surely that's pointless if you're running anti-lag ... in fact they probably run a larger turbo than would be driveable on the road?

LOL no I wish that was my car ...its photochopped :p

I am getting Tein Flex coilovers very soon, so I can at least make it that low :p

Here is my car


Again, but with the new wing

Very nice man, very nice

Balistic: Are the side skirts etc. Factory?

[BALISTC]

Thanks

Yep they are a dealer fitted Subaru option, for the front lip, side skirts and rear lip retail was 1800 bucks, but with a bit of haggling, I got them for nothing :D

With the MY03, I think this option has been deleted..

Also, to all Subaru owners, a rear bootlid debadging goes a long way with improving the cleanliness of the rear end

After doing a bit more research, they run an IHI turbo with restrictor..

IHI turbos are actually designed with rally use in mind, and work very well with a restrictor, producing lots of torque in the mid range...not sure of the size though, but I'm sure it doesnt matter because anti-lag would sort out any lag issues
