Supercharged Impreza Maddness
If there ever was a definition of “ghetto backyard tuning” this would be it. Brazing over a BBQ flame? Punching big holes by drilling lots of little ones? Venting A/C coolant to the atmosphere? It’s all here in this insane thread as “Spudchucker” goes on a mission to supercharge his 2.5 N/A Impreza. Click “Read more” to see all the gorey pictures, or click here to see the thread on RS25.

A couple months ago I saw the reddevil and Skidd build threads (congrats on the recent success Skidd!) and after sleeping on it that night, I couldn’t think about anything other than how I was gonna do my car next 
I was gonna go with a Raptor system, but after learning they weren’t ready for my model year, I decided to just make one myself.

[...] Using his first time, flux-core welding skills he fabbed up a mounting bracket and placed his backyard supercharger on the left side of the engine with the pulley lined up with the accessory belt. A new accessory belt, a couple of hose modification, and a hole in the hood and Spud had himself the first Eaton supercharged 2006 Impreza anyone has ever seen. Currently it’s pushing 4 PSI without a change to the engine mapping, but it runs. A little ghetto? You bet, but that’s a helluva fun way to spend a weekend.
