Car Info: 02 WRX
Had the car tuned by Ed at EQ today. I'll post the dyno chart if he puts it in his updates thread. Anyway, the car did 219.3hp at 5850rpm, and 220.9 ft lbs at 4000rpm. I wanted to be making more than stock STis, and it looks like I am according to Ed's dyno disclaimer:
It is also worth noting that it was 95.8* (not sure where this temp was taken, but that's what it says on the dyno print out).
Stock 02-05 WRX - 155-165whp
Stock 04-07 STI - 215-220whp
Stock 08-11 STI - 190-200whp
Stock 04-07 STI - 215-220whp
Stock 08-11 STI - 190-200whp

Car Info: Hybrid
My APS 65mm CAI came today. I bought it from Ruehl, and would like to mention what an incredible packing job he did. He's got a few other items for sale, so buy with confidence.
The intake is quite heavier in gauge than I was expecting, but am quite content with the construction. I also thought the raised coolant-line holder was a nice touch, where as some intakes don't accomodate the coolant hoses, or hold them right to the body of the intake (SPT).
Without further ado, here's how it went
(About the missing grill: I started to think that I needed to remove the bumper in order to get this thing in because I didn't realize I could just force the intake through the opening from the engine bay )
The plan is to media blast it and powder coat it black when I'm back at home for Thanksgiving break.
I'm currently waiting on my GrimmSpeed 3 port EBCS (should come Monday). If anyone wants to buy my GrimmSpeed MBC speak up!
Once I get that set up I'll be taking the car in for a tune.

Got some new bits and pieces today:
Picked all this up from TiC
-Kartboy rear diff mount bushings
-Kartboy rear subframe bushings
-Kartboy "Botox bolts" rear subframe lockdown bolts
In other news, I'm getting a weird clunking sound from my steering rack. Here is a video of the sound:
The sound is coming from the steering rack when making quick right turns, particularly on the passenger side near the bushing. I checked the 4 big bolts and they are tight. The bushings aren't obviously torn or anything, although I definitely can feel the rack move a little when the steering wheel is turned quickly.
Anyone know what could be causing this sound? Is the steering rack done?

I agree though -- it's strange how the WRX horsepower increases year after year by so much more than the STi.
