made brackets for the intercooler and removed turbo to spin center housing, but After an hour of trying I gave up and then noticed that the turbo has some shaft play and will be rebuilt.Also relocated spark plug wires to clear turbo better. Any tips on how to rebuild the turbo/spin center housing?

That is an excellent looking WRX in the first post! (not usually a fan)
I am certainly excited to see the finished product and see how your experience is with tuning a WAR chip with a turbo.
The automatic is no big deal. I am actually quite impressed that it has put up with my abuse. With 196k miles on it and constant full throttle shifts at high rpm I expected it to be toast a long time ago. It still chirps going into 2nd @ around 47 mph with good tires on it which means the clutches are still healthy. I would actually prefer an automatic with a shift kit and a ratchet or paddle shifters if a setup like that existed. That would be a lot of fun.

How much shaft play are you getting? is it in and out or side to side?

To KA: I'm not sure how much play you had from the turbo but if you don't have oil in em for a while they develop slight play from lack of lubrication. Hey it probably needed a rebuild anyway. I Like the fact your leaving it auto. Your taking some of the harassment off me! ? where did you get your shift kit from? Thanks
