Well on revtronix's website it says you could use the stock turbo for stage 2, but your best bet is to just get a cheap TD04 from a wrx, 440cc injectors, and get the IC in at the same time with the td04.

For a WRX td04 you need a silicone y-pipe that you will cut up and a 90 degree silicone coupler to get the intake to work.

Search the site for detailed instructions of the above parts.

Get:

JECS MAF
06-07 TMIC
eBay hose kit as shown in various threads, be prepared to "custom fit"
JDM 440cc injectors
Revtronix Stage 2 for the above setup and TD-04

It appears that various turbos within the TD-04 to VF-39 range work OK with the tuning, for instance I am running a VF-8.

Install all of this at once, and if your motor is old I highly recommend that you get new intake manifold gaskets, throttle body gasket, all engine bay vacuum lines, fuel hoses, and injector o-rings.

As I recall stock exhaust on a SS is 2"

I got the exhaust of a 07 STI and it was 2 1/2 inch. Its real quiet and perked up the motor a bit. Running stock boost until I do my Intercooler/Turbo swap so cant really say how it performs beyond 8psi.

[ScottyS]

I'm sure that temporarily the stock exhaust would be OK. It will just hurt spool times and overall performance.

I'm running a 3" catless DP and the 2.5" STi cat-back. It's quiet, and I am looking for something a bit more performance oriented, but stealthy.

[ericem]

Does a wrx have a 2.5" exhaust as well? Also the stock SS has a 2 1/4" exhaust. A wrx has 3 converters and a resonator. I am sure using a stock exhaust on the chip will be fine considering we only have 2 converters.

[ScottyS]

The WRX is the same size as the stock exhaust, IIRC.

[yazmo]

how do you bolt the dp 3 inch with a 2.25 exaust? need adapter or something?

[ScottyS]

I had a new flat flange welded on the STi midpipe to match the flat 3" flange.

FYI any Impreza exhaust needs to be lengthened a few inches and the rear hangars repositioned to work on the Legacy.
