STI's run VF3x turbos, not mitsu last I knew. It is the regular WRX that has a mitsu turbo on it.

I figured out I had turbo's made with knock off parts. Would have been nice to know that before I bought them. Needless to say I wouldn't have. Knock off's are never as good as the real thing.

I'm picking up my second 13T after work tomorrow, then it's time for a compression test (been forgetting to pick up the tester) and re-assembly. And then re tune. If not I'll just have to find a car to borrow.

Crazy on the rip-off turbos man. Any chance you can go back to the people you got it from and tell them to eat a dick?

Love the sig btw ;)

I can tell them to eat dick, but that's about all it will accomplish.

Update: Started it up with the 13T's today. Need to clean out the intake pipes before it's 100% ready to go.
