That was about it for that summer , left it stock NA, but didint take long to get bored.
Then  over the winter I started to buy the parts I was gona need to turbo it.
I gota a new long block, STI Pistons, Hbeam Rods, ACL bearings all around, ACL piston rings, STI oil pump and WRX water pump.
Then over the next summer I began to build it.
