Upgrading to a larger turbo along with supporting mods is an excellent way to boost your car's power. Blouch, a top - notch brand in turbo development, always crafts the finest turbos. Their new XT - R series turbos feature a billet compressor wheel. This design optimizes the turbo's aerodynamics and increases compressor flow within the same inducer size, enabling you to generate more horsepower at lower boost pressure. The turbo comes with a 43 lb/min fully machined billet compressor wheel, a high - efficiency Garrett GT turbine wheel, a Garrett GT full ball bearing system, and an 8cm² bolt - on turbine housing. It's suitable for Subaru WRX/STi and can reach up to 430HP. Other specs include a Garrett Ball bearing CHRA, a 56.5mm turbine wheel, a 68mm XT compressor wheel, a 43lbs per min flow rate, and you can choose between 8cm or 10cm exhaust housing. The turbo package includes water pipes, an oil feed line, turbine inlet and outlet gaskets, and a ported exhaust housing.
Using this Blouch 18GXT - R turbocharger is a great way to enhance your Subaru WRX or STI's performance. First, make sure your car is suitable for this turbo as it's designed for Subaru WRX from 2002 - 2007 and STI from 2004 - 2021. When installing, carefully connect all the included parts like water pipes, oil feed line, and use the provided gaskets for a proper seal. During operation, keep an eye on the boost pressure. You can get more horsepower at lower boost pressure with this turbo, but don't push it too hard right away. For maintenance, regularly check the oil level as the turbo relies on proper lubrication. Also, inspect the turbine and compressor wheels for any signs of damage. If you notice any strange noises or a drop in performance, it might be time to have it checked by a professional.
