WoodsWagon Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 You can make an up-pipe that comes off of the flange that connects the y-pipe to the first catalytic converter to feed the turbo, or you will have to notch/swap out your front crossmember with one out of a turbo car to clear the wrx headers and up-pipe. Oil feed, drain, and coolant hoses will all have to be custom configured. You can't run big boost (more than 10psi) because of the high compression ratio. But you can make decent real world performance gains. Don't get caught up in "I want to make XXX horsepower" because you will push too far and blow the engine up. Set up the turbo, start with low boost and work your way up to something that has good power and a nice margin of safety. Take a look at the "N/A engines with bolt-on forced induction" forum over on NASIOC, or 2.5rs websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
