    Car looks good! Any videos? Have you drag raced anyone yet? Dyno?
    This turbo kit is great! No videos yet, will be getting them done soon. My photographer friend just bought a very nice video camera as well.

    I have drag raced many things. Raced a stage 2, 06 sti.....i won. He had me off the line, but i caught him eventually!

    No Dyno yet, but soon. Just need to find a good place for it around town.

    Its a good DD at 8psi, not the best on gas, but not the worst. Just don't bag on it 24/7 and you will be fine.

    Internals are stock, other then ARP studs. I thought i put up a list a page or 2 into this thread.

    Depends on your skillzzzzz.

    Can you weld and cut metal to make things fit? If so, ya its eeeeasy, just takes time.

    How is the kit holding up?
    Its still running just fine! AFM is pooped, new one on the way though, the AFM flap is to easy to push open for the turbo now, it makes it run way to rich when just driving around. Under boost its great!

    Stock clutch for now, they are good till about 10psi or 12psi, might slip a bit in 4th or 5th around 12psi

    so you basically have the kit as it comes? no upgraded turbo or bov's atc?
    looks great btw
    Ya i am using the kit as it comes, but I am using a different bov then the ones that come with the kit, had issues fitting in the pipe made for the bov's in the engine bay.

    Also didn't use the catch can or the boost controller that came with the kit.
