Twin scroll on 2.5 hawk STi
Has anyone done this conversion to there UK hawk STi?? My mate has a JDM hawk and I love the spool of the twin scroll(not to mention the sound) But I also love the torque of the 2.5 engine from the UK hawk and that any gear can pull the car along.
Now if I could have the twin scroll set up on a 2.5, what would be needed for this conversion?? Would also love to hear anyone who has done this conversion, and how you rate it/worth doing???

Interested in this myself after converting my bug to a twinscroll back in the day and already missing the sound more than anything.

This is a twinscroll turbo on a 2.1...... imagine what it would do on a 2.5.
250ftlb @ 3k
420ftlb @ 3.5k
540ftlb @ 4k
A 2.5 would probably smash the diff and box to pieces, with the extra torque and spool up.

LOL - nope!! Just could not pass the exhaust gases the 2.5 produced, so totally restricted the flow. Was only ever a stop-gap while the engine was run in and I save up a bit more to buy the LM480
