I've considered using the STi pump in the SVX, but until now could not see a reason why.


The sti impeller is the same. The WRX has the stamped steel impeller. I put pictures in post #1106 The WRX/Sti pump casting is ~8-10mm short and won't work on the Eg33 as It will not line up properly with the EG timing components.
