Now the 06WRX can be used for more testing, like the TF06-18K turbo from yesterday.

Man I am interested to see where this goes. Sticking with a tune and stock parts or planning on seeing what that motor can do?

Still have to find time to break in the engine (on road or on dyno).

Just had this funny mental image of you sitting in your car strapped to the dyno drinking your coffee, reading your news paper. Breaking in your car.

Breaking in on the dyno is all the rage these days.

Engines love to meet the rev limiter before 100km on the odo.

Surprised no one saw my comment about "Spotted Airboy leaving Centaur Subaru, word is hes got a new WRX coming" a while ago in the spotted thread.

I heard it straight from the horse's mouth.

I prefer to imagine it more British style, with a dainty little teacup and saucer. No biscuits though, you don't want crumbs in the new car.

About same power as the 2009-2014 WRX. I guessed 215 before the runs.

Asstuna · « **Reply #18 on:** May 21, 2014, 08:16:40 pm »

damn close to a GR STi

Retested with Husky94 in the tank. Ignition curve higher and more consistent than the last time.

The little "kink" in the torque curve correlates with what I feel when driving (though at part throttle) where acceleration would have a sharp increase around 3000rpm.

Rich · « **Reply #20 on:** June 02, 2014, 08:01:08 pm »

So much for the dealer putting 94 into the tank like you requested.

While waiting for Cobb to release software for the '15 WRX....Rally Armor mud flaps.

What is in the box.

All the bits.

Nice spacer to fill the void.

Arrangement of the bits.

Rear flaps

Everything installed

The "C" and "S" clips that the screws go into are plastic so won't rust. Have to be careful when tightening the screws since there is little difference in effort between "tight" and "striped".

I remember when my RA's were that shiny. Those were the days..
