srt4steveo Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I need some help finding, if at all possible, a good priced turbo kit for a 2001 Impreza RS. I'm new to the Subie crowd and don't want to attempt a WRX swap. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tizzle Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 This thread should be in the new gen forum, or in aftermarket forced induction on Nasioc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subie Gal Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 turbo kit it and it wont last. just a word of warning kit will run you $2k to 2500 hate to see you spend that kind of $ and end up burning massive oil or melting the shortblock. personally. never seen a 2.5RS turbo "kit" last.

Jamie i have to agree, you should save a few $ more an just get a swap. it will be much more reliable and youll be able to get more power in the long run.

Setright Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Yes, lose the forced induction idea. Why not port polish, new cams, better exhaust and an uprated fuel pump and maybe a custom ECU. Would yield far better power and drivability - and not go POP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
