Well it deff goes! but OMG turbo lag haha i think boost kicks in at like 5k. So it really needs a new tune... i have a dyno graph from when it was tuned by my camera battery is dead...

In really good shape, some minor wear and tear on the outside. The center console trims i guess they didnt care too much about bc they marked it up some when they popped it out with a screw driver. i can fix that a bit though.

I really barely even noticed the noise of PPG's, so im probably going to be up in the air about switching with the 6 speed later or not...

before u go crazy with more mods, get it running right the way it is...de longer u run it on a halfass tune, the more likely u r to have Big Prob$ down the line. go slowly b 4 u go Too Fast grasshoppa

Is the drivetrain that's in it still good? What's going to happen with that once the STI stuff is in this car?

Ya im only doing DIY mods right now nothing that i really have to spend money on. i might also swap over some parts from the old wagon too. i dont have the money to dump into it so the tune is going to be the first thing..

Not sure if i understand the question, but of the drivetrains are still good. i am eventually make the new wagon a full sti swap.

Well I finally sold the PPG trans, so here is what is in store for now!

 

My 07 STi 6speed is going in and my STi block is getting bored to 100mm, and the wiseco pistons are being used with the other internals I already had (ARP headstuds, ACL bearings, COBB rods)

Also bought a used set of Grimmspeed PnP and Coated black intake manifold, TB, and TGV's. Along with a set of Helix 860cc Injectors. I even traded my Deadbolt SZ49 turbo for a SZ55!

This is what I plan on purchasing next:

 

- ACT clutch kit with flywheel (thinking sprung 6 puck)

- endlinks

- Steed Speed inline BOV

- Synapse EWG

- Red IC couplers

- gauges with pod

- S204 dash kit

- interior amber lights

- resonated mid pipe

- group n mount kit

- phenolic spacers and gaskets

- tune with multiple maps

Well i finally got the Steed Speed In-Line BOV in today. Im impressed, its definitely well crafted and cant wait to get it in. There is very few people that have used these, never mind on a Subaru, so i wanted to try it out. Check out the video on youtube.

Well after 3 months i finally got my motor back from the machine shop...

It took far far too long even if they were busy!!!

Started getting the tranny and rear diff back in today with the help of Lobstah and my friend Dave. As well as taking apart the dash to prepare for the wiring. We will be back at it tomorrow to see what else we can get done!

Ill take some pics before the motor goes in.
