Morning all,
i have read a million answers for older engines but not for the newer.
my 2009 WRX-S hatch is currently not forged at all, 5 speed, standard VF52 running 280bhp and 350 lb/ft. Has mishimoto Tmic, tomei decat 3" exhaust, HKS SSQV(I know, I know 😂) K&N typhoon intake and more supporting mods.
the only option left is turbo upgrade. Not talking crazy, just want the top end. Likely an SC36 billet or SC42 with pump ofc
anyone have experience with this block, how it handles the power, is the gearbox up to it, what needs looking at etc
am thinking ARP head studs, upgraded gasket, forged pistons and bearings to be safe but....
anyone dealt with this?
