Forced Performance Subaru STi/WRX Blue Turbo BB LOPE 58mm CH8 CM Turbine Hsg w/ Porting - DS ONLY

If you're looking to get more out of your Subaru WRX or STi's engine, a larger, more efficient turbocharger is often the key. This Forced Performance Blue Turbocharger is built around a 58mm CH8 compressor housing and features a ball-bearing core for improved spool and response. The LOPE designation indicates a specific turbine housing designed for a particular flow characteristic, and this unit comes with porting for even better performance.

This turbocharger uses a dual-scroll (DS) design, which helps to optimize exhaust gas flow into the turbine wheel. The ball-bearing center housing rotates on a set of high-performance ceramic ball bearings. This setup significantly reduces friction compared to traditional journal bearings, leading to quicker spool-up times and a broader powerband. The 58mm compressor wheel is a notable step up from stock, allowing for increased airflow to support higher horsepower levels. The included porting on the turbine housing is a custom touch that can help improve exhaust gas velocity and reduce backpressure, further enhancing the turbo's efficiency.

This turbocharger is a significant upgrade and is intended for enthusiasts looking to push the performance envelope of their Subaru. Because this is a performance-oriented part, it's important to ensure your engine's supporting systems—like fuel delivery, cooling, and engine management—are up to the task. Proper tuning by a qualified professional is essential to realize the full potential of this turbocharger and ensure the longevity of your engine.
