Here we have a 2004 WRX that we upgraded with a VF48 from a 2009 STi, STi top mount and STi injectors. This is a nice upgrade for the 2002-2007 WRX models as the stock TD04 turbo is very small and cannot produce much power.

That’s amazing how much power you guys were able to squeeze out!
Would the same setup work similarly for an 02-03 WRX?
– Thanks

Yes it would be the same assuming the engine is healthy. It’s easily a gain of 40-50WHP over a Stage 2 WRX with a TD04.
