Some folks just can't resist improving on a great thing, like constantly fine - tuning a high - performance car that already runs like a dream. At Blouch Performance Turbo, we're the same. We just had to tweak our 'Polka Pickle' turbo to get even more power out of it! To boost its performance, we equipped the 'Pickle' with a 10cm2 turbine housing. This reduces turbine inlet pressure and cuts down on engine pumping losses. We also used the latest 'XT - R' fully - machined billet compressor wheel technology. It optimizes the turbo's aerodynamics and boosts compressor flow to 49 lbs/min, all within the same inducer geometry. Combine all this with state - of - the - art Garrett GT turbine and full ball bearing technology, and you get a complete bolt - on package. It comes with a braided stainless steel turbo oil feed line, oil feed restrictor, turbo oil drain tube, coolant lines, and turbo mounting gaskets. The Dominator 2.5XT - R comes standard with an adjustable upgrade actuator, pre - calibrated to operate at 15 PSI unless you specify otherwise. You can also choose a black ceramic coated turbine housing and a 3' bellmouth inlet compressor housing. Does it perform? Absolutely! It spools up quickly, offers a wide and flat torque curve, and has awesome peak horsepower that just keeps pulling. If your goal for your EJ25 engine is 490 crank horsepower, the BPT Dom 2.5XT - R is the perfect choice for you. Application: Subaru WRX/STi. Horsepower: 490HP. Specs: Garrett Ball bearing CHRA, 60mm Turbine Wheel, 71mm XT Compressor wheel, 49lbs per min, 8cm or 10cm Exhaust housing available.
Using this Blouch Dominator 2.5 XT - R turbo is easy. First, make sure your car is a Subaru WRX from 2002 - 2007 or an STI from 2004 - 2021. It's a bolt - on package, so you can install it with the included parts like the oil feed line, drain tube, and gaskets. The adjustable actuator is pre - set to 15 PSI, but you can change it if you need to. When you start your car, the turbo will spool up quickly and give you a great power boost. For maintenance, regularly check the oil levels in the turbo. The ball bearing system needs clean oil to work well. Also, keep an eye on the coolant lines to prevent overheating. If you choose the black ceramic coated turbine housing, it's more heat - resistant, but still, avoid over - revving the engine for long periods. And that's it! With proper use and maintenance, this turbo will give you 490HP of power for a long time.
