Trust/GReddy Turbo & GREX Brakes
OPTION magazine #1, 2004 pits the Blitz compressor (~210whp) against the Trust/GReddy TD06-18G (output~260whp).
From what I understand, the kit will premiere at the 2004 Tokyo Auto Salon before appearing state-side for US-Spec testing. Once completed, GReddy (USA) will decide whether or not to start distribution here... I would guess April+ '04. All conjecture, though.
Thanks to whoever can translate...

260 horsies to the wheels? Now that I'd think about paying 6900 bucks on.
If I was looking to buy a Turbo that is :D
Not to mention the fact that I have no idea if thats even any good :D :D :D

FYI,
I think the article says the boost is .4kg/cm (5.7PSI) without the intercooler and .5kg/cm (7.1 PSI) with the intercooler. I think it also says that the .4kg/cm is made as low as 3000 RPM meaning this kit was designed for torque. With that in mind, from the graphs it looks like this kit is going to feel like a little eaton supercharger attached to the car.
Any better translations of the article are more than welcome. That is my stab at it.

ArtnWho? Bah! Robs WRX was so gay :p JK, that was the sickest WRX I have ever seen in North America ( and trust me, I've seen more then enough!), and I dont know how many times at every single show I went to with him I kept nagging him to keep the dam thing. Oh well, now he's got an RX-8, and Im sure whatever he does to this car next can only get better
. BTW, since Im kissing your *** right now again, mind putting in a good word at Greddy for me too (hint hint!)

Efini 8: Justin, right? Congrats to your team on the SpeedOptions feature!
Marvin: Dude... I heard the guy blew his engine a week after he bought it from me? Do me a favor and ask your mafia connections what really happened...
