I stumbled on this kit made by "Kraken" on eBay (seller name "krakn08") and haven't seen it mentioned here so I thought I'd share. Quality is unknown obviously but the price is pretty damn competitive ($460 for the manifold, downpipe elbow, and inconel studs. $160 more for a 1.6 downpipe) and the manifold and downpipe elbow are cast so it should be at least AS reliable as the tacotaco ****.
Thinking about buying this kit for my girlfriend's NA6. I have two WRX turbos sitting in my garage so I figured why not? From my half-assed research it looks like the WRX td04-13t is slightly smaller than the gt2554r so hopefully it will be a good match for the 1.6.
1.6, 13T owner here. 16psi by mid 3000s rpm. its a great match.
And as I recall from my research, the compressor moves a little more air than a 2554 but the turbine is smaller and chokes quicker. I have it all written down somewhere.
