Engine/Power - EJ20T (pre-2006 WRX and JDM) There is replacement for displacement, it is forced induction - OEM 2.0 liter turbo engines in the USDM WRX. 90-94 Legacy Turbo EJ22 turbo engines can also be discussed here.

Ping! Help!

How about posting a log. Do you have any ideas what your AFRs are? If you have a fuel problem that'd be the first indicator (beyond fuel pressure,etc). Unless you have a log of a knock even there's really no way to tell. What are you using for engine management?

How does the warranty come into play if you've been tinkering with it?

How did the original warranty get "voided?"

Today though I just remembered I purchased an extended warrenty. I just dropped my car off at the shop.. I am sick of dealing with it...

You put in a larger turbo, a larger fuel rail and a larger fuel pump ... and you have stock injectors and a stock computer? And you've been putting it into boost? I KNOW what's causing your problems! You see you put in a larger turbo, a larger fuel rail and a larger fuel pump with stock injectors and a stock computer. That's what causing the problem. Its just a feeling, I know.

Either get rid of the turbo, or get bigger injectos and engine management that's meant to handle that much fuel and air.

You've basically done something stupid and now you're paying for it. Rectify the situation or hurt your car.
