FA20Club Turbo Kit Owners Topic
 

Welcome to the @FA20Club.com Turbo Owners Thread.

I created this thread back in July 2013 when these Turbo Kits were first taking off. Hopefully this thread will continue to a helpful resource in light of recent events.

FA20Club is no longer a sponsored vendor on these forums and doesn't have the ability to post or receive messages

As a result, I have removed many of the links that once existed in this thread. There wasn't any formal notification of this event but you can look in the links provided at the bottom that take you to the Vendor Review section for reference. This thread will continue to exist as the member to member interaction has been the primary purpose all along.

Like any purchase, I would urge those that are considering a turbo kit (through this vendor or another vendor) to do your own homework. Talk to and visit multiple shops producing kits as well as those installing to ensure both are in alignment to FULLY support your purchase! Talk to the customers out there and do your due diligence! There are a lot of choices out there now that didn't exist 9 months ago. While there have been some positive experiences with these kits and vendor, there have also been some very, very bad experiences. Bottom line... Make a well educated decision.

Some of the members listed below have either moved on or have modified their build and selected vendors to minimize their exposure, me included. The list of members below and the provided links may not accurately represent the current state of their build. If you would like me to add/delete/ change member listings then please PM me and I will edit as time permits.

If you are looking for updates on your order, have questions about shipping lead times, or need to have ANY level of assistance from the vendor then please use a direct form of contact (Phone, Email, Etc). This thread is NOT monitored by them and is intended to be a member/owner driven resource, not a vendor sponsored support mechanism.

Owners List

Please PM me if you want to get added or removed from the owners list. Things change very quickly to peoples builds so PM will be the only method for list modification. Please include Turbo type, EL vs UEL header type, any other unique aspects of your kit (built engine, unique boost control, etc) and any links to build threads and dyno’s.
I have changed how the owners list is ordered and I am now grouping them by Dyno proven horsepower, highest at the top.:burnrubber: I know that every dyno is different and will try and denote what Dyno was used if that is provided by the owner, but this is the easiest way for me list them. Note that those that are 400hp and up are using some form of boost control while those in the high 200’s are likely wastegate spring pressure only.

Good idea. Sure would be nice if there was a Full Blown one of these threads. Perhaps if I get bored at work tomorrow. :D

Good idea. You wont go wrong with fa20club because Tony has exceptional customer service. Your in good hands. Welcome to the turbo crew.

Thanks for adding me in :)!!!!
And congrats and welcome to the boost family your going to love it !!!!

Add me on the list, order was placed with Tony. Went with 57 trim, turbo smart bov, uel and powder coated pipes. I will start a build thread this weekend have a photos to upload.

Add me... Waiting on delivery!!!

Which kit did you decide to go with?

Last post I saw had him reusing a turbo from an SRT4 build....

be interested to see how that comes out:D

The real debate is do you spell Tony with a y or an i if your name is Antonio. :D

LOL. Good point. He will have to educate us.

I like to mix it up.

I thought it was Toni, but when i saw this post i saw people spelling it with a "y". Every time i have sent him an email i use "Toni" and he has never corrected me. Maybe i will confirm with him later when he emails me back about something.

aren't we all :thumbsup:

i've always though toni == female, tony == male. don't beat me if i'm wrong, though.

I use a "y"

Mine is also ordered. Should be here in a week or 2. 60 trim, uel headers.

Who did you sell it to?

@dabocx

i have the fa20club gtx30r turbo kit waiting for some parts to be shipped to start the build =)

Guys with this turbo kit with the UEL header option please post some videos when it will be possible for you.

I cant wait to hear that setup and see what UEl can do with 7-10 psi with this kit compare to the EL version.

updated owners list and added extra links to turbo manifolds. I have a question for the group. Who installed your turbo and how much was it? I can add results by your name if you like. I visited the folks at Topspeed here in Atlanta. Good group of guys, onsite dyno, but no experience with the platform. Latter may not be an issue given all of the Subaru experience they do have... All comes down to price and support.

No 50 trim kits sold? Sorta surprised by this.

me!

I recall seeing one somewhere but can't find the thread. I don't think it was installed yet

Count me in. Received my kit today. most of it at least. Just finished wrestling with the piping a little bit tonight, and preparing to do the install.

Edit: fa20club 60 trim. Will be tuning for e85 as well.

what kit did you get?

Better add me to the list then. 57 trim. Ordered but hasn't been shipped to me yet :)

I honestly dont care how you guys spell it, im not a stickler for things like that LOL.

Spoke to the guys at Topspeed yesterday got them link to the install guide in preparation for you

Antonio=Toni

Tonee it is! ;)

i was right:D
This guy always a jokester:bellyroll:

Thanks for the add I actually went with 60 trim instead of 57. Will be picking car up tonight from prime motoring hopefully if not tomorrow morning. Cannot wait

@Toni how many 50trims you sold?

@whoever can answer.

What is the expected or achieved power range results of the 57 & 60 trim kits? 93 & e85

Check all the fa20 threads all the dynos are posted including mine

Updated 1st post with the Dyno's i could find. Let me know if i missed any...

What kind of oil temps are you guys seeing pre/post installation? I saw this thread discussing a laminova oil cooler and was curious if others had gone or were considering going a similar route.

Thanks for the add :)

Ordered
 

60 Trim, UEL Headers, and Ceramic Coated.

Not shipped yet! Really looking forward to the install. Anyone wanna take a bet I'll end up on fire??

:P
