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.

i think it also depend on what exhaust you run in order to get that cool flame. i am fully catless with TXS full turbo back and magna flow exhaust(which is just to quiet for me) and i get no flames but my friend with full TBE and a blitz nur spec gets some awsome flames at high RPM's when shifting at open track days. it is very visible when hitting about 90mph on the track.

it is much more likely if you've got an externally vented BOV.

you need raw fuel in the exhaust to create a flame.

It's most prevalent when you have an atmo BOV. Then you will get them on almost every upshift, especially under boost.
