Saw some threads about wanting to turbo a CL9

question 1:
whats the quality of the turbo, doesnt look like one of the well known brands.

question 2:
engine management, what are you going to do with that?

Garrett. I've heard they're good from one 'not-reputable' source i.e. my friend. Otherwise, I'm waiting on my mechanic to get back to me on his opinion... and anyone else that can weigh in?

Garrett is good, as long as it's a genuine garret not a chinese copy

at this stage you'll need flashpro and tsx ecu and a custom tune.

thats quite a bit of money.

imo $1200 give/take for the ecu is quite cheap compared to cars like an STI which youre looking at over $3k

You can get Cobbs AP for the Subaru for less than a grand.
Or there's open source solutions available on your laptop for free on the Subaru...

01 WRX onwards have programmable ECU, that is if you only run a single tune, even with an older model you can essentially piggyback with a Power FC.

Side note - Cosworth anything on Subaru is baller.

my mate was interested in the ECU tech tune for his 2012 wrx (not STI) which cost approx $600 and gave him approx 220kw at the crank? if i remember correctly.

Agreed.

You will need some sort of stand-alone fuel management system
