HOLY SCHNIKIES!!! The pics are of the FP Green beside the stock TD04 turbo.
Going from TD04 to VF30 seemed a huge step at the time. Going from VF30 to Green (even untuned) was a violent difference...as you can imagine.
The only issues are that you will most likely have to buy or severely modify your oil line and there is no water intake into the turbo, so it is something to bear in mind.

Pros:
Good low end torque,easy install, and true 11 second bolt-on unit (on USDM STi).
Cons:
Old style design, none ball bearing, requires injectors and tuning.
Great bolt-on for those wanting a fast car.
Many tuners can easliy tune this setup.
This turbo worked great for me....Even better when the intercooler was upgraded....
Spools almost like stock, but holds boost/power alot better then the factory unit.

Pros:
Higher HP, Top End on a simple'ish bolt on kit
Cons:
Added cost on tuning
Turbo kit itself I suppose is a good product. Nothing too fancy, just a simple bolt on and oil line mod. I'm just disappointed cuz I expected more power out of the $$ I spent. Tuning is the key! I tried using both Accessport and Ecutek (Vishnu & Gruppe-S) and both have pros and cons. Accessport produced higher HP but unpredictable performance compared to a more steady lower HP through Vishnutuning...I upgraded my tmic to a bigger Perrin and that helped a bit.
