straight foward

the turbo kit was pretty striaght foward on installation, and I have never had any problem with it and its been on over a year now.It is a forced air technologies stage 1 turbo kit with a wrx intercooler and on the dyno I pulled a 212whp and 233tq. also the turbo is a T04E turbo WHICH IS HUGE!!!! great for boost.I am in the middle of buying a sti short block to get the full turbos potential soon.

low

usually between 2600 and 2800, there is no turbo lag do to the torque from the rs being a 2.5

while I was having some work done on my 98 RS (oil pump re-seal & srtuts), the tech said they just had another 98 RS with an sti short block in it....tests came out 500 horses TO THE WHEELS!!!
