Spare time with turbos, STI VF48 mocked up

I've had this idea kicking around my head for a while now. Right now my custom turbo setup is off the car so I figured I would give this a shot. I made a quick bracket to mock up a VF48 turbo from a 08+ STI. It sits in there real nice. I obviously didn't spin the compressor housing to where it would need to be but that because my buddy is going to be putting this in his wrx.

Photos,







Benefits I see are, availability, compact packaging, and used a VF48 can be picked up cheap. When I had my 08 STI I ran one of these at 20psi so it should be plenty capable for our cars.
