Arashi billet BALL BEARING TD06HR 25g 6+6 stock location review
Whats happening guys, for a while now I have been trying to sorta upgrade turbos on a budget. For the time being I was planning to stick with a stock location turbo and push around 500 whp until I am able to source a spare block to build. I have been looking at the fp blacks but didnt wanna pay up lol, I have also been looking at other alternatives to forced performance like kinugawa/mamba/arashi however because of limited information on them I was very hesitant about getting one of them until I got to talking with Arashi Dynamics and found out that they are now making ball bearing stock location turbos for the evo 8/9 and couldn't resist their 25g offering. I chose to go with the 6+6 blade compressor wheel and a 9 blade turbine wheel however you can customize your turbo to your liking, they offer 11 blade compressor wheels and turbine wheels. The turbo has not arrived yet, it should be here tomorrow, when it does arrive it will be going on my EVO 8 gsr with basic supporting mods like:
VRSF 3.5" intercooler Muse lower intercooler pipe Custom 4" SD intake GSC S2 cams and Beehive springs FIC High Z 1000cc injectors FP cast race manifold ported by me As soon as I install the turbo will post results. |
Subscribed for results. Need to chat with you soon tuning my first subaru and need to pick your brain.

Well, I opened the box. The turbo looks/feels really well made and is actually ball bearing! The wastegate actuator is adustable and kinda resembles the turbo smart unit. Im really impressed with the quality of the hotside, its really smooth for a cast part and is currently not ported however I do plan to port it before the install. Now there is a slight problem, I purchased the 6+6 and recieved an 11 blade. I contacted arashi dynamics and they are fixing the issue, so far communication has been great, always respond within 24 hours. |
I don't think 25G fits 2.0 well. My gut tells me that it flows too much air so boost gets backed up and affects spool. 9 blade turbine wheel will help release the back pressure. I'll be curious to see your power curve. Hopefully, it won't be too much laggier than an FP Black.

You won't feel or notice 50rpm quicker spool of a BB over a JB. From what I hear, 25G doesn't make enough more power than 20G to make it worth the extra (significant) lag.

Can't wait to see the results and drive ability of this turbo. By the way, does a magnet stick to the housing on the hotside? Good luck!

I'm curious to see the results as well. This turbo is similar to my 3B as far as compressor wheel goes but the turbine is a decent amount larger. I'm usually at full boost around 3800. I think the results will be pretty solid.

I apologize for not updating but I have been busy with work and no spare time for the car. I’m working on finishing porting my FP cast manifold then I wanna port the hotside of the turbo, before I port it I will post pics of what it looks like. |
Put a magnet to the hotside today, it did not stick. Took more pictures today of whats in the box. Aside for the turbo you get a tshirt, an assortment pack of springs for the wastegate and a tool to change the springs, a rewards card, a warning/disclaimer label, a summary of the balancing report, and an evo 9 installation kit.
