AWD>FWD's 07 SWP STi

I've been modding Subarus since 2005, my first one was a 2006 WRB WRX TR. That car ended up with a TD06 20g (back when the FP Red was king), ver.5 cryo treated RA gears, etc etc etc making 320whp/348wtq (Mustang dyno) on the stock EJ255 on pump.
In 2007 I was involved in an accident, I was stopped and a Chevy fullsize work truck came and wiped out the front end of my Subaru, totaling it. My old WRX now lives with Mark Mager, competing regionally in the Rally America series as SPGT#224 STi and is actually doing really well.
Two weeks after my wreck I picked up my 07 Satin White Pearl STi, supposedly it was THE last new one in the whole western half of the US (08s had been on lots for a while). Half an hour after picking up the car it had a catback on it, haha. Welcome home, Anghellica.

So here is nearly 3 years later... *= purchased but uninstalled.
Engine/Power:
-ATP GT3076 external wastegate*
-Tial MV-R wastegate*
-APS DR525 FMIC
-APS turbo inlet
-APS equal length exhaust manifold (to be ceramic coated)
-APS 70mm CAI
-KS Tech 83mm CAI*
-Deatschwerks 750cc injectors
-Deatschwerks 1,000cc injectors*
-Crawford air oil separator*
-JDM TGV deletes
-8mm phenolic intake manifold spacers
-Grimmspeed boost control solenoid
-TurboXS catless 4" downpipe and resonatorless midpipe
-Blitz Nur Spec axleback
-Walbro 255lph fuel pump
-Forge bypass valve*
-Koyo radiator* with Samco radiator hoses*
-KillerBMotorsport oil pickup tube*

Suspension:
-SPT front & rear strut braces
-SPT H brace
-Whiteline steering rack bushings
-Whiteline ball joint ends
-Whiteline anti-lift kit
-Cobb sway bars
-Kartboy endlinks
-Cobb lowering springs (need to be changed out with RCE T2 coilovers in the future)
-RE11 255's

Exterior:
-OEM STi limited trunk spoiler
-18% tint
-OEM 04-05 tail lights
-Bayson front lip* (been through 2 of these, contemplating #3 or waiting and buying the APR carbon fiber lip later)

Interior:
-Speed Architech carbon fiber interior trim* some parts are in, there are supposedly only about 5 of these full kits in existence
-Recaro SRD adjustable seats with Speedware brackets
-Gum wrappers/fast food receipts in the center console since she's my daily driver.

I have a big install weekend coming up lol. The seals on my VF43 started leaking so I decided my car needed a whole new round of mods.
Before the new turbo,etc the car made 343whp/374wtq when tuned by Dom at Maxwell Power Services...can't wait to see what he can do with the 3076!

Oh and for you visual ***** like myself.

Tossed on my Forge BPV last night



Nice piece, louder than stock but it sounds good.

I also ordered a set of Go-Jacks (to help with storing my Silvia in the garage).

Thanks dude.
Make sure to watch this in HQ for better sound quality, this was a couple of months ago.

I ordered up a silver T1 racing development T4 turbo blanket last night, I'm gonna have to trim it to fit around the v-band flange on my housing for the wastegate but I think it's possible. I'm also tossing around the idea of ordering up a Full-Race twin scroll manifold with a 1.5 scroll up-pipe, it's the same technology as my APS equal length manifold but it seems like much higher quality than the one I currently have...

Hmm... so I went ahead and tried to order the Full-Race exhaust manifold/up-pipe but they are on a 45 day backorder. What the hell?? I thought Full-Race made their own goods in-house?

On a positive note, my Koyo radiator showed up today.

It's nearly time to return focus to my other project, my '89 Nissan 240sx coupe with a full Silvia swap + tasteful upgrades. It needs new coilovers and wheels though... Today I moved her from where she was resting in the driveway, pressure washed, and then made a home for her in the garage...

Ordered up a Grimmspeed port n polished exhaust manifold and Invidia catless up-pipe yesterday.
Tear-down should begin pretty much ASAP, I still need to pick up T-bolt clamps and an oil pan gasket though...
