Description

The SteamSpeed STX 71R Ball Bearing Turbo is engineered for Subaru JDM Twin Scroll STI models. This turbocharger utilizes the specifications of the Garrett GTX3071R compressor, paired with a 9-blade TD06SL2 turbine for enhanced performance. It comes equipped with a 10cm turbine housing and a 3-inch inlet, making it a significant upgrade for enthusiasts seeking increased power and responsiveness. This turbo is built with ball bearing technology, which significantly reduces spool time and improves durability compared to traditional journal bearing turbos. The STX 71R is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement in many applications, simplifying the installation process for Subaru WRX and STI owners. The unit boasts an increased flow capacity, with one source indicating over a 56% increase compared to stock turbochargers, capable of achieving up to 470 whp on E50 fuel.
