hmmm... i'm speculating that the front mounted turbo off a 4banger wrx won't be best candidate for a rearmounted v8 set up... what's the turbo size and A/R?

a wrx has what, 300 hp? On the turbo. It will not support your motor man, to give you an example, a TD04 was used as one of the twin turbos on the mitsu 3k gtVR4 from the factory, i had two of those cars,

No where near big enough to support a v8, it would have you in a choke hold. No doubt.

yeah^ im with him on this one. that turbo is in no way big enough to handle a v8. even the base STS kit comes with a 61? i think.

If you don't know much about boost and rear mounts, you would be wise to buy a full used system and follow their instructions. Believe me, you can throw a bunch of money away trying to piece together a setup.
