Ever heard of the Nissan's famous Disco Potatoe? Well we have the Polka Pickle. Looks promising....any input? Interested in hearing from SS, Doug, Slowwrx and the others. http://www.blouchturbo.com/turbos/Subaru_WRX_STi_Dominator_2.5R_/ Subaru WRX/STi Dominator 2.5R "Polka Pickle"Full Ball Bearing Turbocharger Application: Subaru WRX / STi Horsepower: 475 HP Bolt On: Yes Yes, the name is a bit of a stretch but the performance of the WRX/STi Dominator 2.5R leaves nothing to the imagination! The turbo experts at Blouch Performance have teamed up with Garrett Performance Turbo to bring you cutting edge Garrett GT efficiency and ball bearing response in a bolt-on package for your WRX/STi complete with stainless steel turbo oil feed line and steel oil drain tube and coolant lines. The WRX/STi Dominator 2.5R features a state-of-the-art Garrett GT compressor design supporting 47 lb/min maximum combined with a race proven GT turbine design in a custom WRX/STi ported turbine housing with enlarged wastegate port to facilitate boost control via internal gate. Adjustable upgrade actuator is standard issue on the "Polka Pickle" and is pre-calibrated to operate at 15 PSI unless otherwise specified (upgrade actuators are available in incremental pressures from 9 PSI to 19 PSI). No need to rotate the mount for this bad cucumber-the WRX/STi Dominator 2.5R "Polka Pickle" is a complete bolt-on package that utilizes the stock compressor inlet pipe and requires no modification to oil, coolant, intake and exhaust connections for installation. When you see this cutting edge Subaru bolt-on appear on our competitors' website, just remember where you saw it first-at the home of performance turbocharger innovation-Blouch Performance Turbo!
Let me add that I am looking for a snail for the 2.5L that I am putting in the car in the future after I get the PPG's. The heads will be WRX heads with cams and springs/retainer upgrade.
Nice find. I am kinda focusing on finding a decent tranny right now. I am really thinking that for the money the 6 speed is the way to go. I am just scared to upgrade much further with the wrx tranny. Not that I am making any power really right now, but the 2.5 block I think will kill the 5 speed if I put it in.
I would say SuperZilla49 is better which has a 49lb/min compressor, and Deadbolt has lifetime rebuilds...no better reputation than Deadbolt
That is what I am working on. At the moment I have to get my 18g fixed.....I'm creeping like mad so he is gonna put a bigger wg flapper on it for me. After that he wants to meet me in person since I've set so many records and such and we will talk business. I am going to approach him about this type of setup since I think I want a ball bearing turbo for my next setup. Jerry should be able to help me with all of this. I was seriously thinking of the SZ55 but again I want a ball bearing setup. Jerry knows that I'll push the turbo just as hard as SS's tune will let me and then some :ddirty: It'll be interesting to see what sort of hybrid setup we can achieve. Something like Slowwrx has. I want to be unique.
