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

This package includes the Forced Performance Blue LOPE turbocharger, featuring a 58mm CH8 CM turbine housing with an external wastegate port, and a complete oil line kit. This turbo is built around a ball-bearing center cartridge, which helps it spool up faster and handle higher temperatures compared to traditional journal bearing turbos. The LOPE designation refers to its specific aerodynamic design, aimed at improving airflow and responsiveness for Subaru WRX and STi models.

The 58mm compressor wheel is a popular size for those looking to upgrade from a stock turbocharger, offering a good balance between increased airflow for more power and maintaining a responsive feel on the street. The CH8 CM turbine housing is designed to work well with the EJ series engines found in Subarus, helping to optimize exhaust gas flow and reduce backpressure. The inclusion of an external wastegate port means you can connect an aftermarket external wastegate for more precise boost control, which is crucial for tuning and achieving consistent power delivery.

Installation of a turbocharger like this typically involves significant modifications to the exhaust, intake, and fuel systems, and requires custom tuning to match the engine's new airflow characteristics. It's important to note that this turbocharger is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For optimal performance and longevity, ensure all supporting modifications and tuning are handled by a professional.
