You need a turbo then, no? You will gain low end torque, but you will get turbo lag though and deal with boost threshold, so there are trade offs. That low end torque is nice for lazy shifting though.

The part looked to be the same as I recall at the time.

Does anyone know if HKS is aware of the problem with the charger?

My warranty replacement has run like a champ and provided it doesn't bounce off the red line all the time or badly overheat it should be fine for many years, I hope. The unit produces moderate torque, but the power is up high where I like it. By contrast I had a 2015 WRX with a twin scroll and the torque was full on at 1500 RPM. That would not suit this vehicle and result would be wheel spin and instability IMHO.

it feels cool :P don't think it actually could feel different than the older v2 kit, they are still the same
I'm a bit limited from too much boost and not very suitable headers (HKS boxer spec UEL with cat) and from not straight catback, but still very powerfull |

Traction Fluid v3
Anyone come up with an alternative to the $300 bottle of traction fluid? High viscosity oil is all you can find as for information regarding type of oil. Seem similar to ATF.

Rotrex traction fluid at $100/bottle but nobody seems willing to try it and report back.
