In typical Forced Performance fashion, a new breed of high horsepower turbos are now available for the Subaru WRX and STI in bolt on configuration. The FP2006 or FPWRX20G features a 44lb minute compressor and huge TDO6H turbine wheel. The FPWRX20G typically produces 350-380WHP with astounding spool up response and efficiency. The FPWRX20G's 7cm (8cm optional) ported exhaust housing retains the stock Subaru flange patterns. An internal wastegate is standard on the FP20G with an adjustable 15psi high pressure actuator and is capable of filling the Subaru motor with over 25 psi of boost if called upon. Install is simple and straightforward, allowing use of existing exhaust and intercooler components. This 20g turbo offers similar pump gas performance to our FPGreen model, while reducing the boost threshold by a couple hundred RPM due to its slightly smaller compressor wheel. These slightly smaller lower interia rotating components benefit applications where pump gas is the primary fuel used and boost pressures do not exceed 22psi. Applications requiring higher power output above 22psi would select the FPGreen model over this 20G. This unit operates very effectively in the 18-25psi range on the 2.5 STi engine, but is slightly lower in maximum power output on race gas (boost above 22psi) compared to our FPGreen model. Many daily driver applications will find that the slight reduction in boost threshold is more than a fair trade for the slightly lower power output on race gas that they never plan on running anyway. Porting, new coolant lines and internal wastegate are already included in the price of this turbocharger and do not result in additional charges! |
