Dominator 1.5XT-R Ball Bearing (sc42) turbo
Alright guys,
Can anyone help me with a technical query in regards to the turbo above? I understand this turbo once it hits UK shores at scoobyclinic its the same unit but with a 7cm exhaust housing.
I'm working out in the states for couple months and this turbo with an 8cm housing is about £500 cheaper if I buy it whilst here. My question is will this still be a direct fit turbo for my 04 UK spec sti?
im looking to a run this turbo on my car. Stock motor, 850 injectors, fuel pump exhaust etc.
Thanks

Unlikely that it will make much difference IMO - it's not like Blouch will willingly sell a worse wheel to their other customers than what they send to Scoobyclinic, especially given that the size of the UK modified Subaru market is tiny in comparison to the US market.

i think you have to be realistic as far as turbos go ,theres no free lunch and any turbo that can flow enough air in the turbine for 400bhp+ especially on standard 2.0litre setup will be fairly laggy ,,have to say it gets second nature to just drop a gear or two to get the revs up a bit though

My advice would be buy from USA ✅
i bought a Blouch XTR 2.5 ‘polka pickle’ with 8cm hotside direct from Blouch.
The 1.5 is suited more for the 2.0 or 2.1 and will be a superb choice.
Over the years I’ve had a little bit of conversation from boss Mike @ Blouch -
I understood SC add a badge to a standard Blouch unit ... not a special spec for them. 😉

Both the 7cm and 8cm housings would have the same fitting flanges (as long as they're both compatible with a subaru of whatever year you are looking at)

I’ve got a sc42 with 8cm housing on my forged 2.5. Great turbo instant boost above 4k and made 433bhp.

If you think SC have some super special magical turbo wheels that's only available to them, then you need your head checked.
Stick a 7cm on the Blouch you will have the same turbo.
It's not rocket science all u need is a measuring device & a pair of eyes.
Pretty much dinosaurs of the turbo world now
Btw Glad to be back
Hope to collect a Fozzy Sti in next few weeks
