I don't use 5th until past 70km/h
Even at 80 I don't use 6th that often, there is no point. It's not going to save me any fuel and I won't be able to accelerate well without going down a gear first.

Right gear for the right speed. It's why you have 6 of them.

Agreed, hard to choose between 4th and 5th at 70.
Back to the thread at hand, seems like the vf52 is a direct bolt on from 09+ wrx. Estimated max power figures with one of those?

If you are going to go down the turbo route.. for $1600 you can get the blouch ball bearing turbo which according to MSR is a much better turbo than the VF52 and gets better power gains. If you are going to upgrade the turbo you may as well spend $300 more to get the best turbo possible. IMO anyway... thats the way i plan to go.... you should do it and test it out before i do it hahaha
