How do you like your turbo kit for 2.5 rs?
What kind do you have? How much gain did you guys get?

This kit will give you 202hp at the wheels on the dyno with 3" exhaust and air water IC added (about 75hp over stock). A stock WRX made 156 on the same dyno and another did 165.

At the time I was out of gas and that was the only thing they had! I was going to go ten min down the road and put some octane booster in it. but it didn't make it that far! I have the tec hooked up to it, and running on the edge of performance and Boom! OOPS! BOOM!!! oh well I'll just have to build a motor that will hold 25PSI and 9,000RPM. (listen to the trans go SNAP) The on going battle of performance!

I just decided that I'm going to turbo my RS as well. I went down to a reputable turbo place called Blue Ribbon Turbo in LI, NY. They are offering the kit and installation for good prices.
The kit, installed, w/o an intercooler runs for about $3,500 and with an intercooler for about $4,700. My question is : Is an intercooler needed? I know that with an intercooler I can run more boost and thus more hp but what are other side effects? |

Definatly go w/ the IC. it is a lot safer and you will be glad you did.
LudeSpeed stage I T3/T04 turbo upgrade. Biggest Greddy FMIC I could get my hands on Link plus all the other standard godies I've been walking around looking like a goof ball the past two weeks because I can't get this damned perma-grin off my face |

I have the Vishnu everything kit which includes Tec-2, fuel rails, 550 RC injectors and etc............ It is a very nicely done turbo kit with quality components.
Performance right out of the box with Shiv's MY00 turbo base map (which does not have a boost map, just running on the ~7psi WG spring), I was easily beating a friend's WRX that ran a 13.6X in the 1/4 mile. I have not been to the drag strip myself. Just yesterday, I finally came around to playing with the GPO (boost) map to get about 9-10 psi as quickly as possible (got it at about 3600 rpm) and hold it there till redline. Damn!! The car is so much quicker now, gets to redline a lot faster and pulls so hard, almost too hard for comfort. Have to resist temptation for more boost or I'll surely join Jeff22 in the blown engine club. |

I have the ludespeed stage 3 kit but i ditched the engine management that it came with it and went with a link plus. the turbo was a little laggy going up a windy road but then again my suspension was having a tough time keeping the car balanced. i absolutely love my kit but i need more boost |

I thought that RC last said that they were still proto-typing a set for the EJ25 motor? Besides I was hoping for some 550's since after a spare motor is built I want to run more boost.

If I recall correctly, Minnam isn't around anymore. I never really paid much attention to it because I wasn't/still am not realdy to go FI.
If I do, it's definitely going to be a low boost, low maintainance kit...I'm lazy. -mykr. |

I am still worried about turbo-ing my car. You guys never had any problem with transmission? Is it your daily driver?

I've had a Minnam Stage 1 for more than 2 years and no problems until now. I noticed that the down pipe is REALLY rusting away and may be good for another year. By then, I should either have a new engine or a new kit. As for HP gains, I never got the car dynoed. No tranny problems attributable to the kit itself.
