  3. Seems to be fine on the road, but the spool probably isnt helped by the FMIC. Identical to this one http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/subaru/auction-910655159.htm
  4. Put on the boost graph on the same link. Bigger turbines is a blouch 2.5xtr in that line of turbo. In retrospect maybe I should have gone for that one, but it got fairly negative reviews for producing extremely similar power for more lag. Either way I'm pretty happy, it's a great turbo for street driving. I'll put it down the quarter soon to find out how it really goes
  5. Whats the best way to keep the ducts on the side bumber on a V11 sti from flapping out after a drive. The whole bumper has quite a bit of flex in it anyway. This bit https://www.google.co.nz/search?safe=vss&rls=com.microsoft:en-nz:IE-Address&biw=1442&bih=728&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=sti+front+bumper+intakle&oq=sti+front+bumper+intakle&gs_l=img.3..0i30j0i5i30l9.1811.3045.0.3171.8.5.0.0.0.0.303.303.3-1.1.0....0...1c.1.64.img..7.1.302.MJTYaR4vbg0&bav=on.2,or.&bvm=bv.105454873,d.dGo&dpr=1&ech=1&psi=2SYkVtfNN4e90ASy77ygDg.1445209819108.3&ei=2SYkVtfNN4e90ASy77ygDg&emsg=NCSR&noj=1#emsg=NCSR&imgrc=ghJk4yrqYNmtwM%3A

  7. Sure, but only got the dyno sheet with no PSI/injector duty measurements. Hans @ E&H told me that 23 was peak boost. I'll see if they have them handy. I can check manually but that's like 160k's and I've got to read off a bar gauge. From memory today it hits 1.5+ bar in the early 6's before fading off. Doesnt go past 1.5bar for that long, but since my old tune was like 1.3-1.4 so under the big readout on a defi gauge for 1.5 bar I was paying attention
  8. Ya I think the difference between the 1.5 and the 2.5 is the turbine sizing. I don't have a scanner at home so I'll put it up tomorrow at work On the street its perfect for the brakes/suspension (20th Anniversary edition came with some mild suspension upgrades). Torque is great from a 2L, did some pulls against my mate in a 2014 Diesel Audi SQ5 in 4th/5th from 90kms. It was not close with the powerband from 4000->7000 (and weight ) Lag is noticeable for me especially in up-shifts but that's mostly because the stock VF49 was so fast to make boost
  9. Good guess! 268.91wkw @ 23 psi 6200rpm/456nm torque at 4770. Ill post up the dyno tomorrow but its a similar shape from my old tune, peaky mid range torque and hp tailing away after 6.5k...but the extra 70kw/80nm makes a big difference. Glad I shelled out for this turbo, spool is pretty good. Anyone want to buy a VF49 with 35,000kms or stock sti intercooler
  10. Will post up the dyno. I'm interested to see how the 10cm housing (as fixed for the twin scroll) works for lag and peak power. Poor stock clutch isn't going to last much . Any recommendations for a stout DD/drag clutch?
  11. Yeah probably, but the straight exhaust during winter was stupidly loud. I almost felt bad for my neighbours. Unfortunately it's needed for wot/cert due to imported post 2k10
  12. Resurrecting my old posts, cheers evowrx for the info. At EH motors at the moment, Bloch Dom 1.5 twin scroll, id1000s,pump, 3" exhaust now catted , big fmic. I'd love to hear some speculations on power (2008 grb ej207) getting dyno tune next week. No hate for the overpriced turbo please (and 3 port ebcs)
  13. I think they recommend it because they are usually approved dealers of HKS, tomei etc so easy install for them and has proof of expected power. Also a margin since they probably get a discount over buying on RHD Japan or wherever. In saying that the shops I've talked to are happy enough to let you buy your own **** outside of them. Oh, another option I didn't mention I had was that turbochargers NZ think they can throw a gt or gtx 3076 CHRA onto the stock housing with a new comp cover. Much cheaper, but haven't seen it done on a VF 49. Similar to what Murch would/could do? I talked to him ages ago but I didn't have a real goal in mind
  14. Ha I guess, just being realistic. It'll probably end up being less than that anyway. E&H quoted around 9 with a 4.4k HKS gt28 all installed with fuel and fmic. So with a 3k Blouch/Steam it'd be like 7ish considering that included a hi flow cat, which I probably need since imported post 2010 Yeah I mean its a low K engine so with an EBC running like 220-230 low boost most of the time it should be ok for a couple of years till a full rebuild. Cheers for the link, and the info! I dream of a twisted EFR 7670 sleeved 2.2 but that's a different realm of money. Kinda like thus guy; http://www.iwsti.com/forums/gr-members-journals/268336-2008-j dm-sti-efr7670-kelford-282s-emtron-hks-481awhp-437awtq.html Anyway we've probably derailed this thread enough! Cheers for the thoughts Evowrx
  15. Turbo like 3-3.5 max About 10-12 for pump/inj/fmic/tune/turbo/labour Maybe drop in tomei cams if there's space in the budget Already have 3" tbe/intake/bov tuned to 195@j tune
