Turbo question

[mustang_killer]

I come across a turbo and intercooler for free. My friend has a wrx and put a bigger turbo on his. He gave me the old one that was used for a couple months. so my question is, how can i make it work?

It's my understanding that the stock turbo on the WRX is decent for low end power but loses breath in the higher rpms....on a 2 liter engine. I would guess that this turbo would be too small for our 2.4 liter engine. This is just what I've heard. You may want to do a little research on the WRX's stock turbo. I myself would get something like a T3 super 60. Also, it's not just a matter of "OK I have a turbo and I want to put it on my car", it takes a few more things to make a turbocharger work with your engine, including exhaust manifold, charge pipes, fuel mods, intercooler (it'll be tough to get the Subie's to work), downpipe, etc.

If you're serious, do a little research and then come back and ask some more questions. I'd be glad to help, and I'm sure others would be also.

i'd be glad to sell you some parts to get you started too (exhaust manifold for one like spilner said)
