hey guys i was looking at getting some uneven headers when i do my exhaust i know its not possible to keep the same turbo but i was wondering if i could fit a wrx sti turbo?

Gotta ask... Why?

honeslty mainly for the boxer rumble i know you dont get as much power as you do from the even headers but before i do start on the power i really would like to get that note from the exhaust

Removed.

from what i understand it wont fit the flange so yea youd have to change the turbo

Yes you'd need a new turbo. I think an STi turbo is fine - Speak to GT-SUBY as he has done this on his car.

You'd need to change the turbo, the headers, the dump pipe (a wrx one) which may need to be modified to ensure the wrx dump matches upto your existing exhaust system.
...and most of all a good tuner.

You know what's funny Jun and Amit, you both have black cars and you both told me about an issue you have with the turbo that sounds very similar...

:p the acutator is gone on the turbo, my tuner has ordered a new one from japan..... but depending on how the turbo lasts, if i do need a new turbo, i will be going the single scroll setup..

yea i just went a single scroll setup, still havent figured out y the turbo went but its gone . but i am looking forward to the big single scroll and have decided not to go the ueh route

Mmmmm, are you sure someone has done this before & it's worked?

From numerous threads I have read in the past, it just didn't work... Plus the standard equal length headers on the GT are actually damn good & as a modder, I can't see the point in going backwards purely for the sound IMHO. If anything, it's nice the the EJ20T Libs sound different... It makes it stand out sound wise from all other Subaru's & with the right exhaust, they sound as good as just about anything else on the road

yea as ive been doing more research into it its really not worth it lol. ohwell it was a nice idea in theory

You'd need to change the headers if you're going single scroll!

just changing uppipe hks make a kit for the jap spec which is almost straight bolt on but kit comes with uppipe to fit the t3 flange on the turbo

Well basicall you're converting it to a WRX/STi. WRX or STi turbo, hybrid/bastardized Liberty downpipe with a WRX collector, and some other bits and pieces.
