newbie to subie

Autopilot747 · 11-15-2005, 06:37 PM

whats up guys, I spend most of my time on 3si, But I had to see what all tha fuss was about and picked up an 04 STi.

The story goes...

My buddy bought the car when it came out. I helped him install the mods, and then he goes and sells it without telling anyone. he calls me a day later to tell me that he traded it in for a ford truck , he's dooing the family thing now . anyway, I went up to the dealer and bought it before it was even listed . The dealer didn't have a clue what they had in their hands and I was able to pick it up for $24K. it is an 04 with 23K on it. The turbo is stock, and its modded tha f-out, when I get it tuned, ill be close to 350awhp.

ill get better pics later

my other beast before I took her appart!

just be carefull with that boost controller. raising the boost just by itself will seriously injure your motor. i dont know how much damage it would actually do, but even runing 15 psi (stock is 14.5) without proper tuning would freak me out.

theres a couple options for tuning. there are a million threads on all the different ways, so i leave it up to you to search. but if your hankering to tune yourself, the cobb accessport and their street tuner let you tune the car yourself basically.
