The one that I have, TDO6 20G 8cm is a pretty big snail...IMHO you need to build internals of the block, something which I have not done yet, to safely (and with longevity) get the full potential of a turbo this size; at least pistons, rods, studs and head gaskets...I am only at 310 whp/wtq right now on GST's dyno, but I know it is capable of 330+; it actually did put down that much on my set up during the tune, but I was afraid to stress the stock block that much...

 

Well I have to say my best bang for buck upgrade was the tune part by Ed ofcourse. I think specially 07 it's the top choice  and peace of mind too 

 

#1: HPD class... a mod that follows you forever...

 

This isn't going to go well...

 

1. my RSCUER custom license plates
2. the sticker on my back window
3. avic d3 since i LOVE listening to music
4. Galls® StreetThunder™ Deluxe Full Feature Siren + Galls® 100W Concealment Speaker
5. black v9 spec C seats



those who know me will know why these are "THE best upgrades you put on"

 

1). True flame paint...because its my only mod so far until october.

Next on list is turbo back exhaust with accessport and tune... then wheels and intake...and BOV...

 

Yeah I've commented on your paintjob before. How much did that custom job cost?

Very sick flames btw!

 

The Galls StreetThunder mod..is that legal to use? I know you work in public service and all. But someone who doesn't...what kind of uses do you find for that? Stories..please share.

 

the guy wanted to do it to advertise...no cost for me... 2 grand in work though.

 

ok.. here is my list..

1)Cusco 22mm-24mm rear sway bar w/ endlinks
2)JDM STI Pink Springs and JDM STI Pink Struts(Best suspension IMO)
3)Kartboy Short throw shifter
4)Cobb AP v.2
5)Perrin TMIC Y-Pipe
6) Bosal Divorced Wastegate shorty Downpipe w/ Gutted stock 3rd catalytic converter
7)Custom 3" Catback Exhaust
8)Helix Flex Up-Pipe
9)K&N Typhoon intake
10)4 Hella 500 Driving lights (Makes night look like day)

 

why do you mention legality? look at all the mods on other peoples cars!

playing Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up, at meets over the PA rick roll ftw



normally when I leave the wednesday Zen Cafe meets, i do something funny when I'm driving off. A couple weeks ago on the PA I made the exhaust burble and pshhhh BOV sound of a real STI/WRX, and everybody thought it was hilarious since I have no turbo



you are in milpitas. come to the zen cafe in fremont this wednesday there is normally about 15+ of us, even in the rain

somebody hit my car so he had to get a new fender and reclear hood and doors anyway...
"while i'm there..." kinda thing.

 

candy purple paint.
13" triple gold daytons on vogues (hella flush THAT!)
gold crushed velvet biscuit tuck interior
2 pumps+8 batteries Red's hydro set-up
pine tree air freshener
and a double burger.........wit cheeze!

 

For me. I daily drive my car, if it's something I use more, it goes further on top of the list. I drive a slow car to begin with, so I try to get the best bang for the buck.

1) Headunit
2) Component speakers
3) Amp
4) Sub
5) A good set of tires (usually a good all-season high performance that can be driven fairly hard, but are still nice for daily driving)
6) Rear sway bar w/ solid endlinks (I know, I know, 2 mods in that one but they go hand in hand)
7) Quality set of coilovers
8) Short shifter
9) Better seats (Recaro SRD, Bride Brix, Sparco Torino, etc. I prefer a reclinable seat.)
10) Driving skills (this really should be priority, ALWAYS)

 

1. ACPT CF Driveshaft
2. Link G3+ stand-alone ECU
3. Converting from Drive-by-wire to cable throttle
4. Ohlins Sportline coilovers
5. New motor (block, heads, intake mani, alternator, etc)
6. Custom GT30R rotated turbo setup
7. Aquamist meth injection
8. 04/05 Impreza tail lights
9. Varis cf trunk
10. And finally, my current favorite, 06 sti roof vane spoiler delete

I don't know if #5 is considered a "mod", but it is an upgrade, so it meets the criteria...I think.
