Check with deadbolt turbos. Also dont get a Disco Potatoe get something from them called a SZ55 good for 380-400 WHP.

the DP turbop on the Subaru will only net about 300-320 WHP.

320 whp is good enough thats a 50 whp increase. 400 on a stock bottom end equals boom! i dont want any lag either

I dont want a large laggy turbo.

A local just blew a built crawford block on a gt35r kit. no details on what boost, tune but it exploded.

330whp is plenty for me, and my crappy clutch

a gt2871r is a great turbo, not laggy, will support more power with about he same spool as a potato

I have driven a few STIs and have owned one. In my opinion the 2.5L motor lacks top end power. I would still go with the SZ55 gives great mid range and top end power.

You can still settle for 330 WHP but you can do so with less boost with the SZ55. Less boost means less stress and less heat.

The GT2871r is a great turbo but in my opinion not for a 2.5L motor.

Holy lag but mad top end.

$2,000 is a bit more than I would want to spend. But it also is a nice unit
