Hey guys. I just joined your new forum. Stichris told me about this new site, so I thought I'd share my build, since I'm building his. I bought my wrx back in 2004, and have been throwing money at her ever since. This last time I kinda went a bit crazy with the build, since before it was on a stock 2.0 and a FP 18G.

That is one sexy bugeye. Welcome to the forums! Your build looks similar to mine, but I'm still missing the turbo and injectors.... cry...

thanks guys.. good to be part of a forum where people actually seem to help each other out and not bash on one another.. definitely like what you guys have set up here.
youll get the turbo.. id suggest getting something billet though, esp if youre on a 2.2. my car is pretty laggy, but when the boost comes on it hits hard!

I have a ej25, what i meant by similar is in the parts selection. I'm going to spice things up a bit by using a variable geometry turbo capable of running 5cm down low and up to a preset of 12cm up top. The turbo can go all the way to 25cm but I don't know of any subaru capable of spooling something like that lol.

If you don't mind me asking, what model are your seats? I like them and my stock ones are getting discolored... :(
