It will bolt up to your uppipe and downpipe, however might have to modify how it goes to the throttle body though.
Get an intercooler before you pump up the boost, but yes, I ran my old 16G at about 12 to 13 psi unintercooled without detonation or knock. I don't know how smart it is though.

you will have to route it meaning the way the turbo connects to the throtle needs to be modified. the stock turbo outlet is situated like this "/" where it points up and toward teh driver. the turbo you are looking at is "clocked" like this "--" so it points stright to the side.

booo i heard deadbolt makes one that fits pretty close too but its like twice the price. i think my best bet is to hold out till spring and get a 16g and a fmic. then it will work nice. maybe a tmic but the scoop is kinda small

Top mount is an immeadeate fix, but be warned, even with a bigger scoop the top mount will still get heat soak. a fmic or awic is going to be your best bet. But if you are going with a 16g you are going to need a better fuel pump and possibly injectors.

you might want to get a *real* transmission if you're going to be modding for any more power than the stock wrx puts out
