New 500hp+ stock location rcm turbo?!
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

Not really in a position to discuss numbers etc I'm afraid, take my advice and get one, that's coming from someone who already had a good turbo with the sc46 billet and replaced it with the precision
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

Will have to look into those further
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

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
