    FS: Socal 08 DGM STI $18K

    For sale is my STI which was my homecoming present from my wife after deploying almost a year in Iraq. We had two small children and it was a decent sized car at the time. I now have 2 big teens and a small kid and the car is too small. It does not make sense anymore for me to keep it. The car...

    Holding Boost

    Synapse engineering Diverter valve. That's what I use. It improved my throttle response and boost recovery between gear shift.

    Older gentlemen, what were you doing before WRX's and STi's took over?

    I still want another one, but I won't with this so called drift tax. They are really easy to work on. No power, but on winding roads is where it shines shaming cars with superior engines and chassis of the day. Most of my friends in the Toyota world don't like the 4AG and they swap 22RE in its...

    While everyone was buying civics and integras in the early 90's, I was fixing up AE86 Corollas when they were dirt cheap.

    I really don't know. The dynos computer crashed and the calibration factors were lost. I put down 300/350 on this dyno stock turbo+E85 prior to the crash and the numbers were the same with this turbo. The butt dyno with the new turbo says there is a lot more power as I was thrown back harder to...

    This was the right turbo to go with my set up. Not only I have more power, but my gas mileage has improved. The Killer B header, lower back pressure from the turbine wheel, and 9.0:1 compression improved the volumetric efficiency while off boost. Engine response is great!

    Exactly what I was after. Nothing with crazy power. I enjoy driving, not seeing how powerful I can get the car up to. Make it kind of like the formula Porsche did with the Cayman GT4.

    I guess I miscommunicated. On the hotside were the uppipe connects to is about 1.75" stock. How big is it on the Tomei? It looks bigger. Yes, I agree the compressor inlet is 2.4".

    It looks like it has basically a 13 psi spring. Holy, How big is the inlet on the turbine side? It appears in the pictures that it is bigger than the stock turbine inlets 1.75" and my Perrin big tube uppipe would be a good match.

    I've looked into the Tomei and 6star. Those were candidates, too. I'm thinking the tomei as I'm on higher than stock compression. 9.0 to be exact. Also, with e85, the stock turbo acceleration is explosive down low. The 6star is not readily available according to the website. I may look into the...

    Hello everyone. After scouring the Internet about turbos, every car modded has an aftermarket intake. I want to go bigger than stock, but I want to keep the stock air box. I have been looking at turbos comparable to 16/18/20g gtx2867/2871/3067r. Would these turbos go well with the stock air box...
