    06 and above sti oil pan upgrade for 05 and below WRX.

    I figured I'd make an actual thread for the oil pan upgrade I did on my 05 Sti rather then just posting it in my build thread. So the reason I went with the 06+ sti oil pan was because my equal length headers were pretty much touching the pan when I test fitted them. The attached photos are a...

    07 sti with 05 sti tgv, fuel rails, and injectors work fine with stock ECU tune?

    This is a weired question since most people don't want side feed injectors you never hear about people converting top feed systems to a side feed system. Here's the scenario I can come up on a set of tgv housings, fuel rails and ID 1000's if I have a set of stock components that work with the...

    Cam Instalation On An 05 STI

    Sorry about a stupid question but I'm overly cautious at times and want to make sure I don't make a major mistake while installing the cam gears and timing belt on my newly rebuilt heads and motor.

    Should I Sell My FMIC & Go TMIC

    First off the car is a stock turbo 05 sti that I purchased in 06 that has all the stage 2 bolt on and a bit more. I purchased a perrin FMIC in 06 because the tuner told me I should get that for a more reliable and powerful tune. Now flash forward to 2016 I'm in the process of rebuilding the...

    So I might be able to get a good deal on a set of 4 used Injector Dynamics 1000's that are coming off of a 2015 sti and am having issues finding out if they would fit a 2005 sti that's been converted to top feed injectors. Does anybody know if the 2015 sti ID1000 will fit this vehicle? Sent...

    PORTED HEADS WITH A STOCK TURBO

    Since I have to get a valve job done on my 2005 sti heads I'm considering doing some mild porting of the heads. Is it a complete waste of time and money while still running the stock VF39? Will it increase or decrease turbo spool time? The other question is if I decided to drop massive...

    Is this normal for a VF39?

    While removing my turbo from my 05 STI I noticed the impeller had this flaw on it. Is this just the way they balance them or is this impeller getting ready to go. The turbo was replaced by the dealership under warranty probably less then 5k miles ago so in just curious to know if its normal...
