Seriously. I never thought I'd drop the cash to buy a fancy new turbo instead of used but this one is tempting me like no other.

The STI has way too many differences to our engines to compare engine to engine but he gives us a good idea of its relative performance when he says "Damn near stock turbo spool with nearly 200whp more by redline."
The 08' STI came with a VF48 turbo which is around the performance of a GT2860. A GT3076 can make almost 200whp more than a GT2860 just like the EFR7163 makes nearly 200whp more than the VF48.

So in terms of our Garrett turbos, this turbo would make the power of a GT3076 but with the spool of a GT2860.
