Forced Performance Subaru STi/WRX Blue Turbo BB LOPE 58mm CH8 CM Turbine Hsg Internal WG w/Oil Line

The 58mm CH8 CM turbine housing on this Forced Performance Blue LOPE turbocharger is a key design choice, offering a good balance for Subaru STi and WRX models. This housing size is chosen to improve airflow responsiveness compared to larger housings, helping the turbo spool up quicker without sacrificing too much top-end power. It's built with a ball-bearing center housing, which means less friction and faster spool compared to traditional journal bearing turbos. This setup also includes an integrated wastegate actuator, simplifying installation and ensuring precise boost control right out of the box.

Forced Performance has a solid reputation for building robust turbochargers, and this Blue LOPE model is no exception. The ball-bearing design is a notable upgrade, reducing wear and tear and allowing for more consistent performance over time. The included oil line is essential for proper lubrication and cooling of the turbo's rotating assembly, ensuring longevity and preventing damage. This turbo is designed to be a direct fit for many Subaru STi and WRX applications, making it a popular choice for those looking to upgrade their vehicle's forced induction system.

When installing this turbo, remember that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Proper tuning after installation is critical to ensure the engine runs safely and efficiently with the new turbocharger. This setup is intended for off-road use or for vehicles not subject to emissions testing in their state.
