What modifications are needed for an ihi vf30?
Alright, I have a come across a deal that I can not pass up on an ihi vf30 turbo for my 02 wrx. Now, I have a manual boost controller, blow off valve, turbo boost gauge, exhaust gas temperature gauge, short ram intake, cat back exhaust.
Why I mention this is because i have heard that it is bad on the engine if the following are not installed with the bigger turbo...
1.Bigger Injectors (sti)
2.Downpipe and uppipe
3.Fuel pump
4.Some tipe of ECU upgrade
is there any truth to this? What do I really need? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you have heard correctly. you could get away without the downpipe, but it's very worthwhile having it in. You might want to put the intake and blow off valve back to stock. if you do that, tuning it will be a breeze.

If you're going to go to all the trouble of buying and installing a bigger turbo you should at least do the upgrades you mention in order to maximize the gains from it. I'd also strongly recommend a new set of tires if you're still on the RE92s. They can't handle 227hp, let alone 300+. Sell the intake, BOV, and MBC.

I think intakes usually cause much more of a hassle than BOVs, unless its 100% atmospheric. And if he's getting it tuned, would running rich even be a problem?
