    Not sure what the inlet size is on the two turbos, but downpipe would be fine. You also may need to swap injectors and fuel pump

    no as long as its a stock location 16g for a wrx or sti it will work fine. You will need a tune
    edit: and injectors as drew says and most likely a walbro which one is for sale here somewhere

    What brand of 16g is it? $160 is frighteningly low for a 16g. Use caution.

    could also be a 16g from another car...not all 16gs will fit on a Subaru. Make sure it is the correct flanges, etc.

    um - look up what the sizes and bolt patterns are for the subaru pieces and make sure they match patterns on the turbo you're buying?

    just do a little research. You'll be happy you did when you inevitably hit snags down the road

    I had looked at this ad a few days ago. IMO, inspect it yourself before you make the purchase to make sure it's not worn out.

    The downpipe should have 5 bolt holes and the exhaust housing inlet should have a round hole but the outside of the flange should be shaped like a triangle.

    you could always put pics of it up on here and we could tell you whether its in good shape/the right turbo etc. and i guess if its not worthwhile you're only out $160 and not the $800+ they run new

    not sure about your Downpipe - if its a bell mouth or DWG than you are good. I did not see an upgraded TMIC on your list of upgrades - that will help if its stock wrx.

    Make sure you chk the oil lines
    chk the WG function while its out of the car - its easier
