Oh, I forgot to chime in on the power bit as well. I agree with wrxisthebest on the fact that I HIGHLY doubt the car is making 400whp, or even close. Maybe 400hp at the crank? I would also be even more worried about having the car checked by AMS sooner rather than later considering even a 20G needs to run on a properly tuned map, and if the car's throwing CEL's then something is up. Let us know where you decide to take her for a check-up, and how it turns out!

Well I don't doubt it's close to 400whp, been in a slightly modded sti, and mine feels a lot faster. However, I am not one to make claims that I can't back up. The numbers are just what I was told. Finally got the previous owners name and number today. Going to try to meet up w/him this weekend for papers, and any spare parts he might have, as well as a little more insight into what's been done. After that meeting, I'm calling AMS to set up a dyno tune. I'll have some solid number then, and will share with all. Thank you very much everyone for all your help and direction.

Looking forward to hearing the results after the AMS visit!
