I went for a forced performance red turbo from the states (stock position ) , great turbo and nearly half the price of most UK turbos , used there own 84mm intake pipe that matches the front housing of there turbos and this was a easy fit aswell to my surprise ,, it's made 531bhp @1.75bar so very happy with the results
As for the rotated set ups , iv had a 450 set up in both standard and rotated form , both none billet and the rotated was a far better setup, would spool better and also sounded loads better lol , but was also three times as much to buy , hence why I went standard position this time around

Could you post more details about the turbo you went for please?
Maybe a link to where you sourced it?
Many thanks

Here is there Subaru range of turbos , you need there inlet pipe aswell as they have there own size of inlet on the front housing but it seems to work very well

Sorry for the late reply ,, it's a forced performance turbo , it's there none billet version of the red (one that's 750 dollars , you should see a review at the bottom from England , that's me aswell lol) , they now do a billet version aswell , they were very helpful in making sure I had all the right bits needed to fit the turbo and so far iv been very impressed with its results , and even had a comment from bob Rawle about how well it was working

sti forged hatchback,got to run new engine in over the next 2 weeks before can get any power figures as I've found it hard to find any dyno graphs with this turbo on a 2.5 engine
hoping to get close to 500 bhp on v power

Ive also just bought this - to go onto my CDB 2.1 with 14mm stud conversion... Hope I can hit the magic 500 with Bob Rawle, yes I know BHP is nothing but a number, but it's the number I want to dick swing in the pub with haha
Well taken the plunge and bought a RCM Precision 525 rated turbo to go on my08

Possibly, depends how much boost you're able to hold up the top end.

That was just as I turned up, no faffing with pressures, no launch control etc. A 10 should be easy in it when I do the tyres...

You're making assumptions although my signature could be worded better . My 10.9 in the classic was done at circa 500bhp (flywheel). The car later made 601bhp flywheel again with a few changes but I never got to run it down the strip with that power.
The 10.9 in the Hawk was done at a tad over 600 wheel horse power so a tad over 700 at the flywheel.

Anyone else got graphs/specs to add to the thread? Have to admit I'm leaning towards one of these having previously wanted to either go 321t or sc46
