Name is Rob and I reside in Pennsylvania. I had sold my stageII WRX to a friend last January and in turn purchased the 2006 STi from another friend with 32k on the car overall. He had just slapped the GT35r on to the original motor with 25k without building out the motor. Of course he ended up wrecking the motor in due time. Once I purchased the car I decided since the turbo had suffered absolutely no damage to build the motor myself with some friends and reuse the turbo. I bought JE pistons and rings, left the STi forged rods in there, Bought ARP headstuds, and a full replacement/rebuild gasket and seal kit. Sure enough it ran just fine but about two months had passed and the oil pressure light came on and horrible noises began and of course I had spun some bearings all due to a cracked and broken off factory oil pick up. As you know the factory oil pick up is bolted on to the bottom of your block and it sucks the oil from your pan throughout the motor for lubrication. Turns out none of us had ever heard of this horror story and apparently it was very well known and all over NASIOC. So the second build began and I went with CP forged pistons and rings, Eagle Rods, and purchased an extremely triple reinforced oil pick up from Killer Bee Motorsports. I must say had I known about the pick up being crap from factory and replaced it I would have been fine but the car runs great now and is chuggin along just fine with a smooth and clean idle. Car drives like a dream with 41k on the car and not even 2k on the new motor the drivability is unbelievable which is fairly uncommon among built motors with big turbos.
