Engine/Power - EJ20T (pre-2006 WRX and JDM) There is replacement for displacement, it is forced induction - OEM 2.0 liter turbo engines in the USDM WRX. 90-94 Legacy Turbo EJ22 turbo engines can also be discussed here.

230-250 reliable HP with stock turbo? How?

I’m surprised you’re pushing up to 18psi on the oe turbo and still maintaining good egt temps. Where is your egt bung tapped and what are the readings?

I made a mistake when I said that a stock WRX puts down 202WHP off the showroom floor. An 02-05 will put down 170 WHP and a 06 will put down 202 WHP. Sorry for the confusion.

hopefully that was a typo, but even still properly tuned a 2.0L WRX can handle well over 300whp reliably on stock internals....hell, I've been doing it for well over 20k miles, this on a car w/ 86k miles....
