For fuel injectors would you recomend 565cc/min or 650cc/min?

Bigger is genreally better, but for a VF39 the pinks are plenty and cost less.

I call 'em on the phone.
They take my money.
I recieve product.

AP is a subsidiary of VR, but is ran differently/independently.

I'm sure there are those here that have had the same types of problems with other well-known vendor(s), but say nothing.

Hmmmmm.......

1st hand account. I ordered a grill from them. They charged my card. 2 weeks, nothing. They say it could take up to 2 weeks to get there. 3 weeks nothing. Called, left message. Continued to call, they never answered. Left more messages. 4 weeks, nothing. Emailed, continued to call. Finally got through to someone that "accidently" answered the phone. Found out it never shipped. 3 days later it came. Test fit, it sucked, sent it back and got a different grill. In the end it did get resolved, but it took a month and a half start to finish with WAY too much work on my part.

This was a long time ago, maybe they have fixed their issues.

5. 4 each, STi pink fuel injectors, w/ new rubber o rings & sealing bushings.
6. 255l/hr fuel pump.
7. Coolant.

8. Time...about 6hrs for the novice.

9. Tuning.
1. and 2. Do dealerships stock these? And how much are they?
3. Oil lines are still attached and the turbo has under 7K on it so I think I am fine
4. Drilling it out with a #57 drill bit
5. My 06 WRX injectors should flow enough
6. My stock fuel pump should do the job
7. Will be picking up tomorrow
8. Day off plenty of time
9. Cobb Stage 3 FTW

Looks like the only thing holding me up is the gaskets

No, nasioc is essentially corrupt, and it is full of a lot of *******s, but there is plenty of useful information there if you know how to find it. The incident I refer to was from before the split for one thing. I can't remember the details though, I suck at that.

Gotcha, I've had my conflicts with ordering parts from venders, I won't name names, and it’s just that --it happens. They didn't get my repeat business or lack of business, how ever you want to call it. but I don't make a big deal about it, I just called my credit card company told them that my stuff I ordered never came, got my money back and went some where else. Problem solved.

As for your memory, try cutting back on the booze. Your liver/ local pizza guy will thank you for it.
