Congrats, those are cool mods. How do you like the GFB Stealth BOV?
Do you have any boost creep with BPM downpipe and T-back exhaust? Where are you in Los Angeles? I'd like to check out your mods if you're closeby, really itchin' to do some mods on mine. I'm in Pasadena area.

congrats, and just some advice, you might wanna get some engine management for yourself. The cold air intake, and blow off valve aren't the best mods for the STi, but with EM they could be helpful.

And lets see some more pics!

Wow, new replies since AUG 16th!.

The GF BOV is a nice novelty but I think I will put it back to stock. I may put it up for sale.

No boost creep with the BPM DP TB.

I am going to remove the CAI and put the stock box back on. Prob sell it.

I live in the SFV and work around Century City. We should do a local meet sometime

As for EM, I'm waiting for the XEDE to come out with the plug and play harness for the STi. A friend called them today and they said to check back next week.

More pics on the way

I noticed that you mounted some 255/40/17 NT01 tires on your OEM BBS. How are they on the track?
