Well... The idea was there, the person just lacked the research and common sense to pull it off. E for Effort, F for performance. I wonder why he/she didn't buy a piggyback underdrive for the harmonic balancer. Then he/she could use the original balancer as the drive pulley for the blower and have MUCH better results.

A stock STi puts out 300hp. That'* a loss of 226hp
So essentially he lost a whole regular WRX Impreza'* worth (227hp) of horsepower in doing this...

I took a ride in a friends regular WRX with a intercooler pipe that blew apart. It ran, but was incapable of revving past 2100 rpm, and that took a while. The words MASSIVELY RICH spring to mind. I'll believe it was down to 50some HP. The scary part is that he drove it home 19 miles like that.

The charge pipe was disconnected because he was showing off something in there.
It'* only a 2.2L, it'* got low compression for the OEM turbo, it'* fuel maps, and cams are turbo specific, the intake manifolds are designed for boost, and the exhaust has a HUGE restriction in the form of half a snail, still on it.
