I finally decided to join the forum last month after having the face book page liked for over a year.
Current mods on my 2005 STI are Perrin FMIC, (yes I'm running one with a stock turbo) Ingen CAI, Borla header, mad dad v2 catted DP, (lived in Cali and also was having boost creep with the cat less exhaust the first owner had on it hence why I went high flow cat) Perrin dual tube cat back, Walbro fuel pump, XS ignition amp, ACT street light flywheel and heavy duty pressure plate/clutch pro tuned by Harmon motive on a version 1 AP.
I'm the second owner of the car and I know for a fact that the previous owner beat it to hell since it was modded with a HKS blow off valve, cat less turbo back K&N drop in and a molested vacuum line.
I bought it around 30K miles then replaced the clutch and flywheel a few thousand miles after that then did my mods and then turbo went out (warranty covered it) but It then started eating oil and I had metal shavings in one of my oil changes so I put it back to stock and dealership voided my extended warranty since I didn't have proof of oil changes since I was doing the maintenance my self.
I now have a built short block with wiseco pistons, K1 rods. ACL bearings that I will be installing a new oil pump, timing belt etc and deleting the TGVs while adding a KS tech phenolic spacer, Perrin turbo inlet and installing a GM AIT in the IC tube near the throttle body that will be wired to the MAF AIT wires.
As it stands I've been researching Rom Raiders and also have the version 1 AP street tuner software that I probably will do a mild road tune with one of those choices till I finish acquiring all my parts for a turbo swap since I can't get a V1 AP pro tune anymore.
I just wanted to make an introduction and say hello to the forum members.
