Default Upgraded Turbo

Hi guys,

I'm currently running a 20g but want to upgrade to a GT30R like this one with an external wastegate



What parts would I need to change, exhaust/inductionwise to get it to fit?? I'll have fitted a FMIC by the time I upgrade. Car is a MY05 STi!! Would it also need to be twisted??

Thanks in advance

Nasty, looks like custom IC pipework will be needed on-top of up-pipe/headers and downpipe, plus induction side too, do you really need that much power ?

I bought an MD321H as it's an easy bolt-on, and does all I will ever need.

HTH

P.S. Another 50 bhp from nitrous is an option !

Sounds like too much hassle to me I'll look at other options

Thanks Dunx!!
