Been doing some reading and came across the IHI RHF55. Supposidly this turbo has great low RPM flow and with the 6K redline in the 850's this would seem like the best for the I5. Has any one heard of these for the street?

be very, very, very careful with low rpm flow on your stock rods, that is what bends them

i don't think you should get this turbo, get like a TD05-14B for fast spooling, and it flows just as much as your RHF55
plus its a subaru turbo, meaning the turbine side has a traingular intlet, good luck with that . . . .

IHI's are decent, an RHB-5 from a Ford turbocoupe wouldn't be bad for low boost, I've got one in my garage destined for a redblock. They're pretty small but not bad.
