I'll get some pictures taken for you guys. The Turbo is equivalent to a VF23. I'm trying to get better information from Greddy for you guys on this kit. Once I do, I'll get it posted. Yes 300HP to the wheels at 18psi.

internal wastegate

it's a td05-16g turbo. it should flow ~500cfm, which makes it slightly bigger than the vf23 i think.

Slightly bigger than the vf23, well how about the vf22 then?

oi, you're right. i need to learn to draft my posts so i dont make typos that could be very misleading.

based on its flow, i'd say its slighly bigger then any of the ihi's.

if you have access to impreza magazines, issue 15 i think has some dyno's of the kit on an sti.

Only slightly bigger than IHIs eh? I think I will wait for the T67 turbo kit to come out, hopefully soon. Thanks for the help anyway.

its out, just not in the us.

how much hp are you looking to make? i mean, if you look in impreza magazine #15, they put out 370ps with a fmic, exhaust, headers, and some other mods (i can't read japanese).

Is this the new GReddy kit for the US WRX or is this for the J-spec WRX? Also, is this a direct bolt on or will you need some type of engine managment, FMIC or TMIC, etc.?

this is a complete bolt on kit...

u will be fine with the stock intercooler

Management is at ur discretion.. not needed.. but upgraded fuel and some sort of management will utilized the turbo to its full capacity

This is a complete bolt-on. You can run at stock boost levels, beyond that you should get engine management, fuel, etc. Just like any turbo upgrade you should always do engine management etc. Stock intercooler will be ok, but not recommended if you exceed 15.5psi. The Greddy turbo is very efficient and will cause the stock intercooler to heat soak if running at high boost levels.

Is that to the wheels or guesstimated fwhp in the impreza magazine?

yup, atw and it was on a jdm sti. i don't want to give anybody the impression that those are the type of numbers that you will see on a us wrx with the same mods; i referred to that dyno chart because it shows that those types of power levels can be achieved with this kit.

Talking with a guy at irvine subaru, he told me the black WRX in the Import magazine (forgot which one) with this turbo, dyno'd at 276 whp at 18 psi with greddy e-manage, Greddy FMIC, etc.
