[QUOTE=JRecardo;805794]He means the housing doesn't mate up to the default intercooler (and many aftermarker options) on the 2008 wrx. The only way around this is a FMIC or the process west setup.

Correct, just keep that in mind if want a blouch turbo. The only bb turbo straight fit is avo 400/500 turbo, have a look.

Kinugawa makes turbo and headers for tomei. They r not chinese spec. I heard ultrex's product is made by them too.

The AVO's are a great turbo, but at $2,400 they can fuck off. $1,900 Blouch XTR would be my choice. Was going to do it myself with this year's tax return but after rates and new house associated bills, it is going to have to (hopefully) wait until next year. Keen to see results young guinea pig ;)

I thought you were getting the PW TMIC anyway so where is the issue. Also the Blouch 1.5 is on the list of turbos supported by the 08, it will bolt perfectly to an STi intercooler if you get your hands on one or a PW.

I concur with Trolley, fuck the rest go the Blouch and PW TMIC, there is no better bolt on setup.

Ok, RJ, if u insists. Im just saying the whole point of tmic is to have minimum bend and pipe length. If that design works for u, I wont say anything. Last point, dont fit a blouch just for the sake of fitting a blouch, there r other choices.

Edit: not to start another argument on workshop services, i apology if i upset anyone.

He had it tuned at ASG. No need to worry about any of that sort of stuff.

[QUOTE=ALLPAWS;805784]What about the vf series turbos? that's where I will be looking first when turbo upgrade time comes for the RS 40.

In Mao (& Gordan's) defence, he always placed an emphasis on reliability when helping me tune my old bugeye, which despite my best efforts I never managed to blow up :)[/QUOTE]

I heard the STI's already come with a VF turbo. :p

Kinugawa actually gets the headers from the same factory as Tomei which is SSI in Taiwan...

Only the EL header of Tomei are the same as Ultrex.

Rob said so...
