HELP..GC8 Needs Turbo Info

Hey YOU.. :)
My brother has a 99 2.5 RS Sedan and he's coming home from college soon...My parents wanted to Turbo his car as a gift for working so hard. I may be JDM girl but I know jack shiet about Suburus..If anyone could give me info on where I would find a turbo kit for his car, that'd be awesome.. Thanks! :)

Technically that should read "GM6 Needs Turbo Info" ;)

http://www.ludespeed.com/impreza.html is probably the most popular kits. If you live in a hot climate or expect him to be driving it hard all the time, I'd be wary about a non-intercooled kit... Personally if I were gonna go the kit route, I'd get the stage 1 but add a custom FMIC and the J&S is a real good idea also if you've got the money. I'm just saying it could be done cheaper with a much nicer looking front mount than just buying the stage 2.

Oh..I thought it was Gc8..See, i know nothing about Suburu's,,Lol...but yah..help!

p.s.
nice pics.. :wink:

"GC8" is the term people use to refer to ANY old body style Impreza. But GC8 is a WRX coupe. GC6 would be an RS coupe. Placing an M instead of the C would be a Sedan, GM6 = RS Sedan and GM8 = WRX Sedan. An F would be a wagon. Then you go to the new body style... Okay wait, this is getting confusing. Lemme put it in another format.

93-01 Impreza:
GC = coupe
GM = sedan
GF = wagon
8 = 2.0 turbo
6 = 2.5
4 = I think 4 is used for all others

examples:
GF8 = WRX wagon
GM6 = 2.5RS sedan
GC6 = 2.5RS coupe
GM8 = WRX sedan
GC8 = WRX coupe

02-03 Impreza
GD = sedan
GG = wagon
6 = 2.5
A = 2.0 turbo
B = STi

examples:
GD6 = 2.5RS
GG6 = 2.5TS
GDA = WRX sedan
GGA = WRX wagon
GDB = STi

And there we have it. Useless Subaru trivia.

THAT was SO Confusing!! But it's all good..I learned something new..and it was about a Suburu! Never thought that day would come.. :) That was way helpful..I think i will print it out lol..But that doesn't answer me, i need info on a turbo kit for him!!

There's where you can buy a kit. What more do you need? :confused:

i've never bought any car parts just from a random person or place without a good deal..lol so I am looking for someone that will cut me some slack. :)

Get the used kit I added in up there. If I had $3000 available right now I would.
