    Hey guys,

    Which turbo kit are most popular for WRX? Or any suggestion for custom? I am looking for 350hp daily drive.


    Thank you

    350 crank? VF34 or VF39 should get you there easily.

    for a turbo upgrade, i'd recommend the following supporting mods (you may already have these):
    fuel pump
    uppipe
    turboback exhaust
    engine management
    upgraded intercooler (not really required but i would recommend it)

    i am assuming a 25% drivetrain loss... that would make 350 crank hp == 262.5 whp
    2002-2005 wrx:
    350 crank hp: vf34, vf39, vf22 should all get you in the ball park with proper supporting mods (all the above + injectors)
    350 wheel hp: you will probably need an 18g or bigger and methanol injection

    2006 wrx:
    350 crank hp: you could probably come close to that figure with the stock turbo and full exhaust...
    350 whp: i'd say 20g+injectors should be able to get that on 93 octane

    crank hp is just an estimate... wheel hp is more of a measurement, the accuracy of which can still be debated
