Question So Richard, Pat, and Wes...

...What's next for the powerhouses. Since Jayson claims that he's "Done Modding his WRX" I guess you are the guys to look to. I'm also really curious about oldmansan and Chibby Goku's cars. You know what they say, "Variety is the spice of life."

You forgot Sub-sonic, GQZboy, and...shoot, there's one more. I can't remember, but there's one more guy who's gonna be putting some superpower into their car.

I'm done at the moment. Hamstrung by lack of funds. But I'm thinking about some options.

I might be down for a 50 shot if that's what my research points me towards.

Maybe a Garrett.

But I think my first thoughts are going to be about my pistons and conrods and also gears.

I don't know when I'll have the money to be doing that sorta stuff, though.

Who knows? Maybe I'll get an STI by the time I get back from West Point. I can guarantee you, though. I would definitely be throwing a lot of money towards power if I got it.

Why would I want to go from 12.7 to 13.2-13.3 (stock STI) if I in fact bought one? If I got one, I'd more than likely replace the same sorts of stuff that I have on my WRX...and I'd keep my *******' Wagon, as well.

How long do you think it would take to exchange them, just for a test?

Longer than I'd be willing to make you wait, my friend.

I think I'm going to order the Rallispec oil restrictor - but I'm pretty sure the combination of factors makes this turbo a not-so-good fit for my particular Scooby.

so... you're getting too much oil to your turbo??/
or is it a restrictor on the dump side? not enough oil?

I think I'm having a drainage problem... Not sure, it's acting very strange.

All I know is turbos NEED to have a clear shot oil drain as it works solely on gravity.
