After much consideration on what turbine will match my set up I decided to go for the IHI VF-22 Turbine and get it ported, polished, wheel clipped, & ceramic coated by DeadBoltSpeed.com... I think that the VF-22 will definitely have the potential of hitting 300whp together with my set up. Any comments or replies bad or good let me hear them all.

*I had a set of Willwood Big Brake Kit but my car was stolen and unfortunately they took them. Don't wanna spend $$$ on that anymore.

*It's hard to believe that I have all of these parts and my car only turn a year old this year. Thanks for the help guys. All I can say right now is see you guys @ Hot Import Nights in the 26th of June @ the Philadelphia Convention Center.

My car's the White 03 WRX(Team Regiment Zero). You can't miss it. It's a simple set up but will stand out of the rest of the cars. It'll be next to my friends' Carbon Fiber Kitted 350z, Spooned Out Ek Civic, and C-West Kitted RSX

I've been researching alot of the Deadbolt works and also from other people in my town who had prior experience with their works(mostly dsm guys), primarily on porting, polishing, ceramic coating and clipping the wheels of the turbine. From what I've been told, clipping the turbine wheels makes the turbine spin more rpm's at top end(nothing insane or anything like that).

Like I said, I've never heard of this process before until some of my friends tried it on their cars and so far they haven't ran into troubles yet.

I know there's alot of controversies on this process but it'll be my pleasure to test it out on my WRX. If I don't like it then I'll just replace it with the PE1820 set up, easy as that.

My final decision is to go with the VF-22 Turbine b/c:
1. Relatively cheap; more bang for my buck
2. Strong top end
3. Reliabilty

I'll let you guys know how this set up works out...

Um, attempting to not sound like an ignorant ***, what about your tranny itself?

 

As for my drivetrain I will only replace the clutch with an Exedy Clutch and an Exedy lightened flywheel.

I thought about getting a dogbox tranny from Turbo XS or Kaaz but I heard alot of annoying things that this High performance tranny makes( i.e. grinding/whining noise, etc.) Also, they're not like the stock tranny which I know I will sacrifice some of the "user-friendliness" in favor for a rougher but high performance oriented dox boxes.

The thing with WRX trannies are that they are pretty strong and Subaru did a great job on making them. I understand that it's not as smooth like the Honda trannies are but with a little t.l.c on these bad boys and they should last me for a while.

I've never abused my car like launching it hard(only from time to time) or just power shifting it or anything like that. Let's put it this way, there's this kid in my town and his WRX's tranny was replaced 3 times and his car was bone stock at that time.

But like I said, I'll let you guys know how this thing goes...

Explain why my engine management sucks??? Let me guess, you're a big fan of re-flashes right??? I thought about re-flashing the ECU b/c it's a reliable system compare to the Piggyback systems like HKS's. The only problem I have with the Re-flashed ECU is that no company out there offer the maps that I wanna run my car to.

And no I didn't get the Bee Racing idea from SuperStreet. I saw the item @ this shop in Queens, NY(Fizz Autosports) & I thought it's a pretty interesting product So I got it...

For my ignition, I didn't get an MSD ignition. Actually I have to stock one right now. The only items I added was a Grounding kit, sparkplugs, and battery.
