Stopped lagging and finally went to pick n pull to grab a master window switch for the Integra. Lucked out because there was literally only 1 3rd gen (4 door) Integra in the entire lot and just so happened no one had pulled off the driver side door panel yet.

Finally got the BBK installed. Also the brake duct hoses are now directly connected to the brake assembly. Prior the ducting came into the wheel-well and directed air to the back of the rotor which did provide a level of cooling.
Stopping power has increased substantially and temps should be kept well under control.

* Subimods Fire Extinguisher Bracket 2015-2016 WRX / STI SKU: SM-EXT-BRK/VA
with H3R Performance - MX250 Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher - Red (Model MX250R)
This should be even more proof that VA chassis WRX and WRX STI interior bits are almost completely compatible and interchangeable with the GJ/GP chassis Impreza/XV Crosstrek and SJ chassis Forester.
Now I have a new problem now that I've fixed the problem of having a loose fire extinguisher under my passenger seat...
My WeatherTech Floorliner on my passenger side front seat is not compatible with the fire extinguisher mounted, so the Subaru all weather floor mats are more suitable for this bracket.

Been awhile since this thread got bumped.
Question: anyone have a recommendation on a shop in the south bay that'll do a compression test/leak down test?
May be selling the subie soon and if going private party want to make sure everything is kosher.

You will most likely get suggestions for Fremont/Hayward shops like RBMS or GST.

Drove it for the 1st time in a while (aside from getting my tires warrantied at Firestone down the road) and did a boost leak test. Solved one old leak cause by a BPV spring that I guess lost tension and found 2 more leaks. One from a crack in my BPV adapter and another from my evap purge valve.
