If you're not able to read a flowchart for a turbo you can't build a properly balanced turbo kit for your car from scratch.
There are some charts posted here that might help your research and build though
Building a kit is not just copy\pasting some objects on some pipes!

Way too small, get a T88, that should suffice.

There are better options, the VF39 does not have a ball bearing center section. BTW, it's an IHI turbo. Plus isn't it a dual scroll turbo? I could be wrong though.

I know one of the STI's had a dual scroll, either way its too small I think for the rotary. Look up the flow charts for the VF39.
