ok cuz in the course of 2 days you went from vf39 to 16g to anything to 20g. i can tell you that a 20g is too much for that motor. you won't make useable power until very high in the band so unless you just want to impress your friends with numbers go for something like a 16 or 18g-xt. unless you have a 2.5 in there then a 20g would be ok. take a look at the supporting mods you're gonna need because it isn't gonna be cheap to do it right so make sure you're up to it before you go buying anything.

^ what he said, Also look into upgrading your injectors and fuel pump along with a custom tune to support the new turbo. Its not as easy as just bolting it in and go. I mean the car will run and work but it will only be a matter of time before your motor goes kaboom.

you'll probbably be looking at the upper end of anywhere around 270whp but number doesnt really mean anything if it cant boost fast enough lol. I have a 2004 wrx with stock internals with bolt ons and a fp18g turbo pushing out 348whp tuned on e85.

i had a blouch td05-18g in my old forester and it made 340/380. you can expect a little lower with a 2.0L but the new 18g-xt looks nice. it's all about the supporting mods.
