And while im ranting. If you plan on doing a TGV delete and fitting a silicone inlet anyways. Make sure you tick the 3" inlet option. The 3" inlet actually does increase spool. It probably has a bigger effect on spool than the 8 / 10 cm choice. If spool is your concern and you want a turbo like these, go 3" inlet.

Even 3" is probably too small for a DOM sized turbo. Its just its the biggest you will fit on a stock location subaru, and if you want stock location, your limitwd there. Look at Garrett turbos, they start at 4" for turbos that are equivelant to the DOM range and go up from there. Due to area being a squared relationship to diameter, 4" is nearly double 3" cross sectiona area. And 3" is nearly double the CSA of 2.5". Garrett thinks 4" is the size to use for that size turbo. So why limit yourself to a 2.6" stock locatation inlet. Thats like 1/4 the CSA of 4".
