Default Turbo 8.1l vs WRX
Truck never seam to make very good power after the turbo swap. Found my Flowmater was way too restrictive. I swapped it for a strait through Magnaflow. Man what a difference. Now I swapped out my GTS 76 for a PT88 turbo. Take some time to get the 88 goin but pulls hard up top. Damn thing like a Supra kinda a slug in 1st n 2nd. Pulls hard in 3rd n gets crazy in 4th.
