Everything I hoped for.
Just picked up my car from Vakamon today. All I have to say is dammmmmn. The car pulls hard and I couldn't ask for more. Nah! we could all ask for more,but I am satisfied with the current results. It needs a little more tuning,but once the bugs are worked out it will be one fast GC8.I'd like to thank Ryan,Matt,and Farid for a job well done,mostly Ryan for coming up with innovative solutions to what is certainly not your run of the mill turbo kit. I'm looking forward to driving the car competitively,which has been my whole purpose of doing this. Again, thank you to the crew at Vakamon.

It's not a EJ20 in the car. It's a 2.5 STi short block using the RS stock heads and intake manifold with a WRX turbo and intercooler...
