Engine/Power - EJ20T (pre-2006 WRX and JDM) There is replacement for displacement, it is forced induction - OEM 2.0 liter turbo engines in the USDM WRX. 90-94 Legacy Turbo EJ22 turbo engines can also be discussed here.

Anyone point me to a good Turbo explanation...

Turbo info thread... [please add it if you got some]

This started off as me asking for a basic explanation but I figured it would be a good place to collect info, so I asked a mod to sticky it.

So, if you have a cool diagram or interesting link to information about turbo's, please add it here.

Sweet, that's exactly what I wanted, thanks kawshon!


Anyone else have links to good info? Speaking for the less knowledgable, I'd love to know more...

Start a new thread for questions please...

You'll get more replies and it leaves this one less cluttered - it's intended for collecting information, nothing more.

A very good technical article explained in layman's terms.

from what i heard, the wrx cars dont really like mbc, instead get a reflash and have the ecu maintain your boost.
