I am sure it will fit a rotated setup. All you have to do is modify the first pipe coming off the turbo. We did not have to buy or weld any pipes from my XO2 kit to fit my rotated kit. We just got rid of the first u bend, then cut the first pipe before it goes into the fender. Oh yeah, we did have to buy a 2" silicone 90 degree that came straight off the turbo. If you are going with the "S" cover, you will have to buy pipes since they have 2.5" outlet on the compressor housing.

Right now since this is my first turbo car, I kind of wnat to experience the power increases in increments. Hence, get the most out of the stock turbo and then upgrade. With that in mind it sounds like I just need the stock BPV flange, but what fitment issues in the future when I do go bigger turbo and then need aftermarket valve. Also is there any benefit to bov vs. bpv except for the sound, which I'm not interested in, only performance. Thanks for all the help!
No fitment issuse with larger turbos. You will have a choice of two types of turbos. The LGT and the WRX/STI style turbos. I'm including the adapter for bought so you can any turbo made for a Subaru and going by what "integroid" with slight modding a rotated.

The best thing is to plan what you are going do. IF you buy something make sure it will work with your next step(like injectors big enough if you may want to use e85 in the future.). Mostly research and ask question and you will be fine. Also check nasioc.com you can save alot of money by buying some used parts. Alot of parts are interchangeabe between WRX/STI and LGTs. I got a blowm 20G for $300 and got it rebuild for $400. That's pretty much a new 20g for $700.

I'm going to put on my car test fit. But I don't know it will run on my setup without a tune. So after I test fit the full setup. I will run the intercooler with my current piping to test it of. I have been reading alot about the Delta fine intercooler core. From what I read it is very low pressure drop and higher effientcy then bar and plate. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/UNIVE...Q5fAccessories
This is close to the size of the one I'm getting but mine is bigger. So the specs look good. I will test the delta fin intercooler and if it is not as good as the say I can get a bar and plate intercooler when I order the kits. So I can do a real world comparison. I'm trying to get the best intercooler I can for us to make this kit the best. If you can come by one day we can test fit your car. It will get here on monday.

I'll make time if I have to.

Monday morning I'm going to Santa Monica. Won't take too long there. My week is currently open from there on out. I am sure something will come up, but with the holiday I'm not expecting too many requests.

You got my numbers, give me a call when you are ready. I'll be there with an '08.

m sprank, how do you like that you're car is being whored out for all the other air pump having LGTs? They should be thanking you for exploiting your car like that.

Ahh, I would help if I wasn't in the middle of America where nothing cool is ever produced.
