    Sounds like an interesting recepie.

    STI's and STD's in the same sentence!

    Maybe compare the WRX unit to a VL7 then see of you need to ask this question.

    Too much work involved to make it fit.

    That is what I was thinking wilky I have been racking my brain for a idea to fit it that's why I had to ask if any one has done it the only way I can see it being done is having a front exit exhaust left side front bumper and alot of metal fab

    Why bother going through all that trouble when other turbo's are a much easier fit?
