Grudes

Thats cool it will be good to get out of my cave.

Haha yea I hear that from my wife alot too. Thats why I stay in the basement

Well its that time of year where the weather is starting to turn to shit and the toys are coming out less often. So what do you do when you dont want to take your car out into the salt and snow? I usually hybernate in my basement and play video games, day dream about crap I can do to my car, or watch sports.

Yea I guess theyre is always a trade off. I guess I have a decison to make. 20g's seem to be really popular on STi's but a 30R has more potiental. Was it a stock location or rotated with a FMIC?

I have always wanted to go there but never have. I love looking at airplanes and the pics really make me want to go. Its so close I really dont have an excuse.

Nice. I heard that the GT30R was a little laggy though.

What a terrible experience. Thanks for posting so I know never to use them. It sounds like that guy just wanted to make a sale and didnt give a crap about your roof. Reminds me of a used car salesman. "Dont look at that oil leak, look at these power windows"

Haha yea I know. If I had the money I would like to get a Cosworth long block with a full rotated setup and a front mount IC. Right not though its bolt on only.

Those cars are nasty. They always turn heads when we fire one up at the dealership

Yea those shots look great. I didn't realize the exhaust came right up by they're head.

Thanks! Damn that FP turbo looks pretty nice

Haha That doesn't really surprise me. The Mustang is heavier that the Vette. Its always fun to watch a car tug of war.

Damn thats nuts. Thanks for the video

Thats insane. That makes me feel better about bolting on a bigger turbo without throwing rods out of the block

I like that idea. Any idea on numbers? Haha if I LS swap it thats what Ill do

Were you still running the factory short block? Iv heard diffrent things on how much power the oem motor can hold.

Haha I just got the STi, someday Ill come to the dark side though

Not necessarily. I still have the stock short block for now though.

It does have a COBB stage 2 OTS map on it now with the stock vf39. The VF39 just doesnt have any top end. I would like to be around 350whp. Iv heard alot of good things about the 20g's

Mostly a toy to be honest. Maybe some autocross sprinkled in. I wouldn't really call it a daily. I do drive it to work sometimes and I take it out to some meets but typically I just take it out to have some fun. I have an 01 Grand Cherokee that I put most of the miles on.

Well the Turbo I was going to install on my STi had more shaft play than I was comfortable with so I wanted to get opinions on what turbo is a good upgrade. Im still have the factory rotating assembly but thats about it. It has ARP head studs, 3" catless turbo back, aftermarket uppipe, short ram intake, aftermarket turbo inlet, larger top mount, I also have 850cc DW injectors and a 250lph fuel to install. Im sure theres more stuff but thats everything I can think of that would be relavent to upgrading my turbo.

Really?

As a smart man in the shop once said "The quality of the repair cannot exceed the quality of the vehicle". Time for something new. Maybe a 2000's 2wd full size truck?

Man the quality is amazing

Figures.. Me and Scott are doing some work on my car tomorrow
