Engineered to support up to 650 horsepower, this turbo is ideal for enthusiasts seeking maximum power output with reliable spool characteristics. It is a bolt-on upgrade that significantly elevates the forced induction capabilities of your Subaru, making it suitable for serious street builds and track applications alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlouch’s design philosophy centers on precision engineering and performance optimization. The Dominator 5.0XT-R features a billet 65 lb\/min compressor wheel and a custom 3-inch inlet bellmouth compressor housing, crafted to improve airflow and fitment within the Subaru engine bay. The use of a ceramic ball bearing CHRA reduces friction and inertia, enhancing spool response and durability. Unique to Blouch, the 10cm² turbine housing and custom coolant and oil feed lines demonstrate a comprehensive approach to thermal management and reliability under high boost conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor Subaru owners, this turbocharger offers a transformative upgrade that balances extreme power potential with practical considerations like fitment and cooling. The 3-inch inlet requirement and recommendation for an external wastegate reflect the turbo’s high-performance intent, ensuring that the WRX\/STI platform can fully exploit the increased airflow and boost pressure. This makes the Dominator 5.0XT-R a top-tier choice for those pushing their Subaru’s engine management and supporting modifications to the limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Blouch Performance Turbo Dominator 5.0XT-R turbocharger is engineered for 2002-2007 WRX and 2004-2021 STI platforms and features a 3\" inlet compressor housing.
