scoobyracer369 · 07-19-2008, 12:50 PM

So after watching smoke billow out the rear end of my beautiful blue sti...i started pulling and ripping and testing....which leads to me having the engine on the engine stand...a very bad turbo...and the rest yet to come...i haven't yet done the compression test for the cylinders but i was planning on replacing all the internals anyway...but im still not sure on wat to do next??
these are the things i know i need...
-turbo
-throw out bearing
-catless downpipe
-new exhaust
-injectors
-bigger intercooler

if anyone would like to mention anything else that would be great!
im still debating on whether to get the 20G or just upgrade to the gt30R and just go big?? but any advice from anyone would be great!!!!!

do a compression test and take it from there, becasuse if the motor is fine leave it for now. the turbo is up you and what your goal's are, i was thinking the same way what turbo 20g or the gt30r now i realized those turbo are bad to compare because there are night and day. but i'm thinking the gt30r if you have the cash..
