i'm not too familiar with the turbo on a forster, but I would think that the td04l from a wrx would be small enough as it is? you have any pic's of your setup? management used? most subi turbos are pretty small on the turbine side due to the long routing of the piping(its gotta be what 3-4' from the left bank to the turbo?) so they loose alot of expanding gasses from the long lengths so to combat it they make the turbine side smaller. If i remember right the compressor side of the td04l is a 13t? honda's are kinda weird they typically make best power near or at redline so running a turbo that makes power to redine may be more benifitial than running one that makes instant boost.
