What work is needed to be done in fitting this to a 01 Bugeye Wrx ?

 

old turbo off, new turbo on, fuel pump, injectors and remap

or minimum fit it and remap

 

I was told it was a direct replacement but surely it cant be that easy can it ?

 

That's why its called a "direct" replacement - its like for like on all fittings and hoses.

There may be things to delay you like seized bolts.

 

If you hve td, then you will need a different oil feed.

 

And a remap!!

 

It NEEDS bigger injectors unless you are going to run it so low on boost so as to make it worthless as an upgrade. (and a remap)

The ideal would be an STI TMIC along with the turbo, injectors and a new walbro 255 fuel pump - remapped that should be a lovely car

 

Im running one of these with fmic,ecutek remap and 650cc injectors
