No, you don't change it to an STi turbo; you change it to an IHI VF52.

i still dont understand why subaru went with a 156 hp/hybrid on the japan only STi forester, they need to drop the WRX STi motor in is and call it a day, such a missed opportunity with small suv's being popular these days , plus all the issues the new 2.5 engines they are putting in these cars now, really makes you wana cry

[@jpnitty]

Have your tunes on this model changed at all since 2009? Would getting it re-tuned in 2018 provide positive results in terms of what you and other tuners have learnt over the 9 year period?

[@MRTPerformanceAustralia]

100% yes we have improved a lot, so ion older models car improvements may be avail;able

[@fiveharts]

How can I get the kind of tuning that you're talking about in Pennsylvania USA?

[@Suroyfamilia]

Do you have a partner workshop in Brisbane?

[@hadynmcloughlin4661]

Do your tunes run across both the manual and auto versions of the MY11 XT? They would be slightly different to allow for the different gear ratios, power curve etc? thanks

[@10MMsocketfinder]

Good question, I was going ask if it also applies to the 4EAT.

[@timothy680921]

Any idea where I can get a good tune in SA?

Matt Mcleod !

[@gammalight1312]

What happens after 17-18 psi? Do the heads start lifting or is it a turbo efficiency thing?

[@kempy535]

Pistons say good bye. If you want more boost you need STI or forged pistons.

[@MRTPerformanceAustralia]

engine piston failure

[@2slofouru]

@@MRTPerformanceAustralia what caused the failure? The pistons aren't any weaker than the sti block. Was there some detonation or maybe a lean cylinder? I'm about to install a vf52 and relevant mods to my 09 and more recent reading shows they work well with a good dyno tuner taking care of it.
