How Hard is it to install, can i do it myself? i dont think i have the money to have a shop do it because i am broke, any one wanna help me? i would be very appreciated and could buy you a great lunch and maybe give you a little cash too!

also i dont have injectors or a fuel pump yet, but i have all other supporting mods, is it safe to instal, or should i wait until i find a set of sti pinks and a walbro?

i have a full exhaust with an sti top mount and a utec, currently set at stage 3, but soon... stage 4!

thanks for all of the help, and if you know anyone selling a pump or injectors lmk

 

I'd wait until you have the injectors and fuel pump...

 

What he said.

 

And just on general principles...I'd wait until you have more spare money before modding your car that extensively. I mean if you don't have ~300-400 for a shop to do the install, nor enough for injectors, or a fuel pump......what happens when you break your tranny (>$1500)???

Just a father-like perspective...

 

A very good perspective, stuff like that MUST be considered when heavily modding your car.

 

Does adding VF30 Turbo considered heavily modding?

 

wait til you have injectors and fuel pump ********

 

Me too. Do it all at once and you won't need to **** with anything else.

Making circa 100hp over stock (170ish-->280ish) is most definitely heavily modded in terms of crap that starts breaking. It might not be a custom built turbo setup or something sexy like that...but a VF can break stuff no problem, as Zoeb will attest to.

 

Generally speaking with the state of the majority of WRX's out there I would say that a Stage 4 type car (TurboXS) would be more like medium with the heavily modded crowd running the non bolt on Turbo's or FP units.

With regards to the Subaru transmission I have heard conversations where a K&N filter is heavily enough a mod to break it (although this would be the extreme) on a serious note I think when you add a bigger turbo to the WRX it is not if the transmission breaks but more when it will break.

Roger - I would wait till you have the injectors and fuel pump but if your hell bent on installing the turbo first run it at around 12-13psi and use you UTEC to + or - your fuel and timing.

P.S I have not forgotten about your side skirts, I will call you on them tomorrow

I installed my pe1820 myself...















Then again I had to tow my car to Gino to fix it...
...don't listen to me.

 

i think it was just his driving...

 

Actually it was the 500+lbs of stereo equipment in his trunk...

It's all fun and games until Mexi needs a new tranny...then none of this **** will be funny at all! lol
