I have a 2.5 built block but im still using wrx heads. i have this in my 02 wrx. ij ust picked up a fp green with the upppipe with tial 38 mm wastegate. i went to put it on today and the green was hitting my tranny case and wasnt letting the uppipe and headers meet. there was about a inch gap. has anyone else had this problem? i have the jdm 6 speed in there. the turbo came off a 02 wrx with my same mods but i assume he was using the stock 5 speed and didnt have the problem i had. what has everyone done about this or should it fit with no grinding of the tranny case? thanks for any help

well i looked on the UR page and there isnt flex so im not sure. i just emailed the guy to find out. the green uses the stock size inlet and is just oil cooled to give more info on the turbo

Yea that is not the Ur uppipe. I asked which green because it sounded like my old set-up which i sold to a member on here. It was the old style green with larger compressor cover, and 8cm turbine, with UR uppipe, and tial. Get out the grinder!

is that who you sold it to? yea this one is a flex pipe. is that pretty much my only option is to grind down the corner of the tranny case?? would it be the easiest to just take out the transmission bolt and grind the corner down then put a few tack weld where the bolt should be just for added strength? i think ill have to grind down to much to leave the bolt in. but you had this same problem?

nope, no problems on my car with standard inlet green, SZ49, or 3" inlet Green.

I'm assuming he was on the 5speed and had the uppipe/wastegate set up fabricated?...
was it a kit made for the WRX with the 5 speed tranny?...
if the tranny is the problem I'd be more than happy to trade ;)

haha....yea that must be the problem. im goin to try my PDE uppipe that i had on there and see if it actually fits and if it does then ill just have the external gate welded on the PDE. im not tryin to grind down my tranny case.
