I did a LOT of upgrading all at once so can't speak to the WR as a discreet upgrade. W/3"TBE, 264/272, intake, FMIC & piping, fuel pump, injectors, 10.5 hotside, O2 housing, and WR I FINALLY got tuned late this week - it's awesome! No more events (drag, etc.) here until spring tho and God knows no AWD dynos around.
What I know is it's a damn beast now ... my hands were full before w/just 3"TBE. This is wild to drive!

Still I have not seen any impressive numbers for a $1500 turbo. Most of the numbers I have seen compared to my 05 stock turbo seem not like what I personally would expect from a so expensive turbo. If anyone makes a GT30 with .63 or .72 turbine housing then that would be sick type bolt on turbo. For example, FP made for the Subaru's the damn FP RED and now thats a kick **** turbo 450 whp on a conservative tune on a 2.0L WRX so when you guys will make something like that for the EVO's?

Mine is running great, not a single problem yet. I have about 10k on the WR. When the initial swap went on I was a still learning the utec but now that I gained quite a bit of knowledge about it the tune was a night and day difference. I am running the Maftpro now and it's even better, the WR turbo loves unrestricted air. But I am always in the quest for more and sadly my WR will be up for sale sometime next year. I hate to get rid of it, especially the quick spool, decent power, sound, and just knowing I have one makes it a hard decision. The only thing I regret is not getting the HP actuator with it, this is a must if you decide on a WR purchase.
Randy- this turbo wasn't built for high HP, this has been explained numerous times. If you want the threads Im sure I can dig them up. What this turbo does is flow more than the stocker, holds boost in the higher rpms, I run about 6-7 degrees more timing than my stocker (9.8). It was built to keep the stock type turbo with a few advantages. Every dyno sheet thats been posted some jackass always has to come up with the comment "the stock turbo can do that" The graphs are a lot more linear than the stock ones I've seen.

Like I said, if I upgrade a turbo would be for high power not for some average gains compared to the 05 turbo which already has the 10.5 hotside. When FP makes a turbo like the FP RED then I will surely buy one no questions asked. Remember its only a matter of taste and performance needed.
