Great job on this web site. I own a 06 STI since 05. Have been upgrading it since than. Lots of pink stuff. The trailing link set that I purchased seems to be about a inch to narrow at the bushing between the bracket. Is this normal?
I checked with the dealer and they tell me I have the right part number for my car. But I can't believe that there would be that much play in these parts since all the other STI stuff has such a good fit. Any ideas. Thanks in advance.

There is no "dccd" torque split.

With the center diff being fully open, the 05 will attempt to sent 65% of the torque to the rear tires, all things being equal. The 2006 will only attempt to send something like 59% of the engine's torque to the rear wheels.

Yes it's retained. You don't need to remove it.

is a turbo back exhaust better than a cat back? and if so what makes it better?

A turbo-back exhaust includes a downpipe, midpipe, and catback. It means you will have all new exhaust piping from the turbo all the way out. Larger diameter piping and the lack of cats, or the replacement with a higher flow version of the cat will allow for a greater volumetric efficiency within the engine, and therefore a more aggressive tune of the ECU.

A catback is just the portion of the exhaust that runs back from the last cat(alytic converter) in the exhaust system. It is mainly aquired for sound, but it will become a restriction if the downpipe is previously replaced.
