I dont mind relocating the turbo if it's better option than compromise as the impreza is an easy engine to rotate for space rather than limit turbo options
What's the preferred and reliable options people.use for track use as its going to get VERY hot compared to road use
Cheers for replying btw

The TurboDynamics-MDX555 and the Lateral Perfomance-MD321V are standard position turbos which will be a easier/cheaper option and still make the numbers,a ScoobyClinic-GT30R turbo + Ext wastegate and you will also need a rotated pipe set up and custom or RCM oil and water lines,if you have money to burn then the GT30R rotated turbo with associated pipe work would be the way I would go,as having driven both set ups I just personally prefer the spool up on the GT30R Billet turbo.SJ.

I dont have money to burn but I do have friends who can fabricate a rotated turbo kit and my engine is currently not in the car which helps I think

If you have a friend who can build you a rotated set up efficiently for cheap money,then go with the GT30R billet which will make 500+ bhp all day on a 2.1 without making a sweat,but i stand by my comments “IF” you cannot get efficient pipe work built up on the cheap especially if money is a topic...a turbo from Turbo Dynamics or Lateral would definitely be the way to go talking from experience.SJ.

whole spec make a big difference to results, so will only be as good as the weakest/most retrictive part

I have only heard good things about Paul Finch builds so i doubt its that,my friend is running over 2 bar so i guess that has something to do with it.... his car is mapped by himself so safety is less of a concern for him as he Rebuilds his own blocks,he has the rolling road print out from SRR to prove...Personally i would of thought that a md321v is slightly on the small side for an all singing and dancing 2.35 build.SJ.

Not being funny mate,just a question to work out your thinking with your turbo choice,I have been there and done that numerous times now with builds engine mods etc....I just thought i would have a look to see who is still about and if the Subaru scene is still the way it was...Don’t take things personal mate everyone has an opinion,over the years being on forums you learn to respect each one,I look forward to hearing about your cars development .SJ.
