So I bit the bullet and bought this today - it should arrive tomorrow. Pictures will follow, along with results when it eventually gets strapped on.

Borg Warner say it's a 650hp turbo - I think that's a 'tad' optimistic. I'm hoping for 500-550.
It's not a direct bolt on to a JDM STI, no. I'm fitting it to my JDM Blob, albeit converted to single scroll and rotated!

Seemingly 550 should be achievable! I'm out of the UK with work for the next 6 weeks, so should get it strapped on to the new block when I get back. Then the process of running in begins...
