Saw one of these in the flesh yesterday as it arrived for install on Zak's Impreza whilst I was there.

It looks lush :D

Not massive but def looks the business and would be a simple swap on most imprezas apart from the up-pipe.

Zak is going to be fitting it shortly (probably this week) and will unleash the beast of the car. The turbo should flow plenty for 450 bhp and similar amounts of torque :thumb:

I would love to get one of these but the internals of my engine would need severe surgery to cope with the extra flow :( ... nevermind

Within the similar family (size) we often use the Garrett GT2871R which we can spec to produce 460 bhp and again similar levels of torque with very early spool up. It will be interesting to see what results he sees.

I believe that the 321 is based around a Garrett GT32 housing but dont quot eme on that :)

the "T" is the big brother of the "H" version....................both designed as pretty std fit for the Subaru turbo, the only minor issue with fitment of the larger "T" is the need for a 76mm modified inlet pipe..........

we currently have a 'built' 2.5 with this turbo that easily made 430 on small'ish magnex headers, etc., just undergone a few mods - new up-pipe headers, etc. to achieve the owners majic 460 figure...........

lights all four wheels up as it comes onto boost in 2nd gear far too easily!!

Very close, its based on the Subaru IHI turbo using a Garrrett GT30 CHRA. As Alyn said, very responsive :-D Will be good to see how Zak gets on.
