Hmmmm! That’s a good spot 👍🏻. I’m not looking for silly power, just a little bit more than what I’ve got.

True.
You're a little screwed on turbo choice unless you change to STI TMIC or FMIC then Matty.
Either spend a fortune on a bespoke turbo for the WRX setup or sell your TMIC on and but something that suits the VF48 STI turbo. Would be a lot cheaper in the long run.

Sti tmic’s are cheap enough these days. Can pick one up for £150.

I stand corrected. £8k for a fully forged hatch STI.

Not saying it's the best example out there, but just goes to show what can be had.

You could also go for a Legacy VF46 (1441AA6709L) turbo from a 2.5L GT from 2009 or earlier (before the turbo moved south infront of the engine)
Just an example

They have some nice turbos on the site. £550 isn’t a bad price for a bolt on turbo. 🤔

The UK WRXs is just a ppp version of the narrowbody car with some STI add ons
Prodrive has, in time-honoured fashion, fiddled with the boxer’s ECU and modified the exhaust system to release the extra pep. Power has increased from 227bhp at 5200rpm to 251bhp at 5400rpm, but more impressively torque has leapt from 236lb ft at 2800rpm to 288lb ft at 3000rpm. As a result, the 0-60mph time has dropped from 6.1sec to 5.5, although the top speed remains at 130mph. This all seems like great news, but I’m slightly curious because the old Prodrive Performance Pack that could be fitted to the previous-generation WRX (with the same 2.5-litre engine) raised power to 266bhp and torque to an awesome 310lb ft…

I did read up on vf52’s earlier on in the day And most of them were coming in at around the £400/50 mark. What’s the maximum power from them ?, I’m assuming it’s around the 325 mark.
Looking at what don posted earlier with that link to that firm in the USA, their turbos which bolt straight on are nearly £650 with delivery, so would probably be a better way to go than a vf52.

Funnily enough I was chatting to him on Facebook. He was selling me an sc36 and asked him if it was straight bolt on and he said yes. I was interested, until I found out you couldn’t.
