Bit of advice please. On my 330S I have a Samco hose between turbo and intercooler but I need to replace it. Was this an upgrade as part of the 330S spec or has a previous owner fitted it? And where can I get one? No one seems to list an intercooler hose kit for the hatch sti. There is a 3 piece 'turbo kit' is that what I need?? Thanks.
Look on scoobyclinic website. I'm sure I've seen a Perrin one I think its about 50quid

I believe he's looking for the Turbo to intercooler elbow not intercooler to manifold pipe.

What was the OEM turbo?[/QUOTE]
I was sure it was a tdo4, but I read somewhere recently it is a different model on the hatch.
I tried to find the pics from when I sold mine as I took some of the model number, but I must of deleted them.
Any way its quite model specific as the top mount bolts straight to it, it has a 2 bolt flange on it not a standard compressor housing you can clamp a hose to.
Here is the only pic I could find, which shows a adapter I had to change the intercooler.

I've got an SH model (MY10) Forester XT which has the same engine as the hatch WRX but a different turbo (TD04) and I'm in the upgrade process. All of my upgrades (including a VF52 currently on its way) have come from America but I had the thought recently that UK WRXs must also have a similar sized turbo that I should have considered and been aware of.
Anyway, due to the fragility of the engine, I will be going no further than my current build (E85, ID1000 injectors, DW65c Fuel Pump, 3" dump) and then adding the VF52 and larger TMIC. That should get me to 200kw atw, which, fingers crossed, is enough power but not enough to blow the engine (although I am aware it is a risk and am prepared to pay).
Thanks for your help anyway.

Been thinking of selling my hatch WRX and starting again with either a hatch STI or a type R, but looking at hatch STI prices now I cant believe how many cars are available for sub 10,000 which is good for buyers, but this means I wont get a lot for my WRX. I know you always lose money but I think the hit will be to big.
So do I except the huge loss and start again with the STI/type R, or do I stick a PPG kit in the WRX?
I am planning on staying below 400hp anyway.

Got to say mate I'm with you, I've been looking to maybe px the wrx hatch and get into an sti but because my car is low miles and in great condition I'm worried that I'll have problems with another. Maybe I've had my luck with this one and should keep hold 😁😁😁😁😁😁

I have bought an SC40 and have been in contact with PFITZNER and they recommended a helical synchro kit, so I am going to fit the turbo and then remap, hopefully near 390hp then see how long the 5 speed lasts before buying the helical synchro kit.

Mine has 35k on an 08 full service and not a mark on her. Your right all the sti local are high miles and when I drive mine I can't see why I'd want to change but when I read this thread or look on Instagram I want wide arches.

Thought you upgraded your turbo? Or am I wrong. The six speed would be nice aswell. See if I was at your stage and I'd spent out already then it make a harder dicision but I haven't yet spent and big money so could spend that money on upgrading to sti. I'm so confused I do love mine but sti is calling

Can't imagine why if they have done all that work they never put forged pistons in, its the pistons that are the issue so could go again if I am not wrong!
Maybe they did and never wrote it down on the list of parts!
