Default turbo technics s205b on a subaru?

Has anybody ever used a s305b on a subaru? My cousin has one on his (dare i say it) evo and it makes 535 @1.9bar spools and holds well and i really like it, ball bearing conversion could be done and raise those figures ect ect but has anyone got it on a subaru?

We developed the S206B for the Subaru over 5 years ago.
It's based on the same unit as the Evo one and works very well. We've seen over 500hp on pump fuel from decent specced cars and my own V5 WRX ran a 10.8 1/4 using one in 2009.
It does require a custom downpipe and custom intercooler pipework which stopped it from being really popular.

At the time even including the extra faff it was by far the cheapest way to 500bhp on a bolt on turbo so that helped

The unit received a Billet comp wheel upgrade and is still available for those wishing to buy them.

So the s205b with custom pipework is no good on a scoob?

It could be made to fit but there is no real point in going to the effort of fitting the Evo version when there is a Subaru version of it. Bare in mind it's the same turbo, just with a different exhaust housing.
