I will consider it.  I also will talk to the Ed @ EQ tuning in Norcal who protuned the car to begin with.  He may be able to email me a map based on my mods as well.

I had the same problem. I held off for a bit and talked to allot of people about Sunny's work before I jumped in. I am very anal about my car but then again I think most STI drivers are.

Haha that didn't sound elitist at all :P

About two weeks ago I decided to start installing the parts I had accumulated over the last year.

Parts I'm installing:

- APS Turbo Inlet
- FP 20g Turbo
- NGK Iridium spark plugs
- Perrin TMIC
- Nismo Fuel Injectors
- TGV deletes
- Walbro Fuel Pump
- APS Fuel Rails
- Wrap Down Pipe
- Kartboy exhaust hangers
- Auqamist HFS-5 meth kit

IC and intake manifold were first to come off.



Pulled the DP and wrapped it.



New turbo in it's resting place. I had a hell of a time with the oil feed line. Ended up reusing the stock line.



I was getting a little exhaust rattle so I installed some kartboy exhaust hangers. The stock hangers weren't doing itshay. I pulled them off with no force at all. Getting the Kartboy hangers on was a different story. Stocker on top.





Cleaned the MAF.



Spark plugs on a Subaru are a itchbay! Didn't take any pictures. Too busy swearing.

Next I went to work on the intake manifold. Removed TGV's and installed new ones. The injectors and turbo inlet were easy to install with the manifold off the car. The instructions for the APS inlet ask that you reroute some fuel lines to make room for the inlet. This became a major problem. No matter were I routed the line it would get pinched every time I bolted down the manifold. They took a week to arrive but this was my solution.







Didn't get any pic's but I installed all the fuel lines and bolted the TGV's to the block. Hopefully I will have everything done in the engine bay tomorrow.

Crazy build man. I saw the car in person, and it's awesome. I may need to borrow you to do a few things too. I was thinking of pulling of my DP and wrapping it, when I decide to install my UP. I also want to steal your sub box and copy your meth tank haha.

BTW, I know you bought a smaller mono to fit it under the seat, but could you fit a bigger one w/o your crossovers? I don't want to buy a new amp =(
If the sea was vodka, and I was a duck.
I would swim to the bottom, and drink my way up.
But the sea isn't vodka, and I'm not a duck.
So give me the vodka, and stfu.
If you're having forum problems, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but your post ain't one.

Did a couple mods in the last few weeks.

Traded these:



For these:



I also got my Aquamist HSF5 kit 90% installed. The only thing I have left to do is tap the IC. The spec-c tank needed some minor modifications. I reused the level sensor the came with the tank. Pulled the pump and replaced it with a aquamist quick fit valve.



I pulled the IC sprayer tank and used that space for the pump.



Ran all wiring to the glovebox. Special thanks to Stu for his soldering on the ECU harness. After watching him I think I mite be able to solder now.





The high speed valve and flow sensor in the engine bay. I don't like were they are right now. Mite move them when I remove the IC to tap it.



I also installed some SS brake lines but forgot to take pic's.

The Aquamist install looks pretty clean, nice job.

Wow I'm very impressed Waller! You have come such a long way from when I first met you at the headlight clearing meet at Perfect Darks! You have definitely done well in learning the ropes and breeding the mod bug, I can't wait to see yoru car in person when I'm around town. I wish I coulda gave you more of a helping hand!

Cheers
