Hey guys,

Thanks for the input again

@Bram, thanks mate you've opened my eyes that the spool time difference is minimal in comparison to the overall power.

@Sean, thanks mate for the article, really2 useful

I am now giving serious thoughts into the DOM1.5XTR, can I just check with you guys that below link is the right turbo we're talking about?
Blouch RBK Dominator 1.5XTR 7cm Rear housing Subaru WRX 94-14/STI 94-17/Forester 97-13/Liberty 04-09

The only difference I can see between the link above and the article from Sean is the 7cm and 8 cm housing, would I be correct in assuming that it will be identical?

Sorry for the noob question, not overly smart in reading dyno but according to the article the Dom1.5 XTR with 8cm housing starts spool at 3500 rpm and peaks at 5500 rpm, would this reading be correct? If yes I'm quite happy with that as it's not far off from the VF35 in spool time.

Couple of questions if I go down this path:

1. Will my engine be able to handle that power? it is EJ207 Brand New with Version 6 STI heads fully reconditioned.
2. Will I need Bigger Fuel Pump? (currently have Walbro 255)
3. Will I need upgraded fuel rail?

Thanks again guys
