How bout them pics?

**Kracka** · 03-24-2009

LOL I was hoping you'd forget! She is out of town now, but I'll at least have her email the pics to me.

She is going to see Shane @ DB this weekend for a tune!

**goodhart** · 03-24-2009

Awesome! I can't wait to see some results

**Kracka** · 03-28-2009

Finally...some more pictures!

Turbine outlet

Megan bellmouth 3" catless downpipe vs. stock

Nap time

Two cats in the stock downpipe!

STI TMIC and eBay replica STI strut bar

Perrin 22mm rear anti-sway bar and SPT 3" catback
Notice the crappy plastic end-links with rubber bushings, eventually they will be replaced.

**Kracka** · 03-28-2009

A few more:

Megan downpipe

SPT intake and heatshield

**Kracka** · 03-28-2009

Beatin' stock STI's and Evo's all day long!

This is 100% of what the turbo has in it; small turbo on a 2.5L FTL!

Thank you Shane@DB for the rock-steady AFR!

I smell a new turbo in Janelle's future.

TkrPerformance · 03-28-2009

not bad on the small oem turbo. to bad i sold the sti turbo jarried gave me

Kevin 1G Drummer · 03-28-2009

Not too bad! Definitely needs a bigger turbo.

**scheides** · 03-28-2009

Looks good janelle! Good solid power for only a handful of mods; that torque must be fun as hell! I think I smell a match: wrx vs gli!

WRX · 03-29-2009

Tell Anna I'm ready whenever she is!

And there will be no new turbo... at least not anytime soon- I'm happy with my current setup and don't want to blow up my car. =)

**goodhart** · 03-29-2009

Wow, this thing looks damn nice, makes me jealous!

I thought the stock turbos on these things would have been able to get a little more boost out of them though?
Does this have the TD04 on it or is it a VF series?

WRX · 03-29-2009

Thanks
I'm not really shocked my little turbo didn't give me any more boost, but I'm still really happy with the torque and HP readings. (it's the TD04 and no plans to change that anytime soon)

The '06-07 WRX with a 2.5L engine uses the same turbo as the '02-05 WRX with 2.0L engine. Shane said this turbo is good for about 14 psi at redline on the 2.0L, but also mentioned the 2.5L is good for about 10-20whp more even with the lower boost levels.

**goodhart** · 03-29-2009

Same here, I plan on doing a downpipe, tune, and maybe lowering springs. Call it good just for the sake of having a reliable car. I'm probably going to do some more free mods soon though, like tinting taillights, and clearing and blacking out my headlight housings. Free Mods FTW!!

**Kracka** · 03-29-2009

You and Janelle should have a headlight day b/c she'd love to get the orange out of hers too.

**goodhart** · 03-29-2009

Sure! we'll have to figure something out. Just sucks that I'm all the way in St. Cloud

craig · 03-29-2009

Looks good for power, I wouldn't do anything else unless you plan on doing something with the tranny. have to get the mini back in and see what it does, maybe line it up with ya.

Nice car. It was fun running with it. Keep the plastic endlinks though. Solid ones make the car drive funny (swaybar reacts too fast and makes it too snappy, unless you get stiffer springs and such). The perrin ones i had also sat funny and clunked. I took them off my old WRX and went back to the stockers.
