The stock 13t wastegate is pretty big to begin with so it can probably cope with the increased mass flow when a 19t wheel is fitted.
I'm guessing the 08 wrx td04-19t uses the same wastegate size as the earlier 13t ones?

Yep.

And if its enough not to overboost on a big 'ol 2.5L that generates a bunch more exhaust gasses than our 1.8 BP, I'm pretty sure you won't have any problems.

18psi, Leafy.. you have convinced me!

Just ordered this Turbo Compressor Upgrade Kit SUBARU WRX Forester TD04L-19T Extra 30% Torque & Top End

Nice. Post before and after results if you can :)

In for 300whp td04 miata results.

I'm assuming this item can fit the 13T as well?

Mitsubishi TD04HL Turbine Wheel 9 Blades Spool faster

And if so, how much real benefit is there?

Leafy, can you link to the STS turbine you speak of?
