+ 1 for the uppipe

- 1 for not using jackstands, but i think the guys at iwsti flamed you enough about that.

All I was doing was changing my oil, and when I did it I had a ramp under the wheel (after that pic was taken) so had it fallen I wouldn't have been crushed.

You are right. I was all over the place for starters and wrote it incredibly fast. I was suppose to do a review like 2 months ago, but just got her all running nicely. Was working on some other stuff at the same time...... I agree it's like reading a kid on add who is waisted on something lol


not proof reading owned me hardcore.

Sounds like it's a good piece of kit though. I've got a '98 Impreza L that we did a WRX swap into. I've ridden in a few STis, and I think that I would be the proud owner of many tickets if I owned one!

Question though. Is the External Wastegate Up Pipe w/ Dump Tube 38mm for $319.99 just fine or do you have the External Wastegate Up Pipe w/ TIAL 38mm Wastegate for $569.99?

Would I be just fine going with the cheaper one since I am just an recreational driver and do an occasional drag? Or will I have to purchase the Tial wastegate either way?

You need an external wastegate (Tial, Turbosmart, etc.) in order to make any use of an uppipe with EWG flange and dump tube.

+1 for Grimmspeed products! Top notch quality and fit. Everything tuned easily as well and made great power. I'll be testing some more products for Grimmspeed shortly and I'll provide full details including dyno graphs, logs, personal impressions, etc

Thanks

You've heard enough about the jackstands, but if you had of died, at least you'd be wearing those comfy-*** slippers.
