Car: 2004 WRX Sedan
Miles: 113,950 Tuner: Paul at Yimi Sport Tuning Target Boost: 19.25 tapering to 18.5 Output: 291WHP, 266TQUE Gas: California 91 (Knock)Tane Relative Mods: Blouch 16G-XT-R Deatchswerks 650cc Walbro Fuel Pump Invidia Catless DownPipe Invidia Catless UpPipe STi Intercooler AEM Cold Air Intake Perrin Turbo Inlet GrimmSpeed Lightweight Crank Pulley COBB Electronic Boost Control Solenoid Samco Intercooler Hoses So today was finally the day I had my Turbo, Injectors, Pump, and Intake installed/tuned... This car is amazing. I have completely re-fallen in love with this vehicle. It's running smoother/stronger than it ever has. I thought maybe with an increase in power i'd lose some comfort but that was the farthest thing from the truth. I must give Paul at Yimi MAD PROPS for his time and skill. This car gets on the throttle and delivers smooth power throughout every gear. I'm sure the Turbo and other mods helped with the power but i'm honestly more impressed with how SMOOTH the car feels. After getting a (poor) COBB tune last august i have to say the transformation is night and day. This morning the car ran rough and sluggish. After leaving Yimi Tuning's shop it's running flawlessly packed with power. As for anyone researching/looking into getting a new turbo.... IF you have a 2.0L motor and do not buy the 16GXTR you deserve a big slap in the face. This is HANDS DOWN the best turbo i've ever seen on our smaller motors. It's the dividing factor between good and GREAT. Instant spool to throw you back into your seat with enough up top to keep it pulling hard through 4th gear. It's the perfect combo.

Not really. lol I just wanna see how quickly these XT-R's spool up on the street. I have a FMIC small 16g car that looks like it spools quicker than every 16g XT-R I see.... It (small 16G) doesn't hold as well up top (as your XT-R) i don't imagine, but Its not too terribly bad between the two...

What were your previous mods? Stage 2 OTS map? I'm considering this turbo or the 16G-Xt and wondering how the low end torque is compared to the td04.

The low end is lightning. You hit the gas and the car just moves. This is THE turbo for the 2.0L |

I'm assuming this is the 8cm hotside with 2.4" inlet, is that correct?

By looking at your torque curve and my torque curve, they're about the same tq per RPM until yours stops and mine keeps going. My turbo is a 20g on a stock internal 2 liter. Yes, more boost than you and more power, but as a whole, low end torque is identical. How can this be "THE turbo for the 2.0L"?
Not knocking your car, turbo, tuner, setup, etc... I just continue to be unimpressed with this turbo personally... Transient boost response may be better with your turbo but even if it is, this 20G makes more than enough power to make up for it in a big way.... Steve @ Pullz-On Tuning |

This statement kind of implied it though:

I implied that this is THE turbo based on the facts that: It's safe on a stock 2.0L. It spools rather quickly for our smaller motors. And it FEELS smooth. I apologize but sometimes I forget that the only thing people care about here is that XXXWHP number. Forget drivability and reliability!! |

Hey great numbers. Was this a conservative tune? I see your running less than 20psi. I am soooo torn between this and a 18g xt

As for drivability/reliability, it all comes down to the tune and owner precaution/maintenance. Steve@Pullz-On Tuning |

Everyone has their own preference I guess. For me personally I love the car/tune/turbo exactly how it is.

I don't think anyone has argued about huge numbers. Dux has always brought spool into it as well. A turbo is a balance of response and power, I don't think this turbo, as presented in this thread, has demonstrated any kind of major advantage in that department, but not many do. Physics is a bitch like that. |

Nobody is trolling, to state flat out that 16gxt is "THE TURBO FOR THE 2.0L" is baseless, a lie, and just dumb. Stating that it is "safe" for a 2.0l makes no sense.
Based on all these "conservative tunes" every turbo should be "safe"....too dumb. Enjoy your setup, i am just no impressed with the power that thing put out. Public forum, you posted, my oppinon....nothing more or less. |

Dude he was just excited about his car and the numbers it made and im sure he was not serious about smacking people and that this is the only turbo for the 2.0. Everyone has there own goals and he is happy with his so why not just say good for you or dont post? Its not bad for a higher mile 2.0 on 91oct im sure if he cranked it up to 22-24 psi he could hit 320whp or so which is repectable for a 16g but i wouldnt try it on 91oct with out plans for a rebuild.
