Nice car and mods i was wondering if you rolled the front fenders do you think u can reduce the front camber to under -2 ?

Thank you.

I will continue to add to this thread as all the testing is completed.
I had to make a post because I was never expecting it to make this much power with so many stock pieces and such few power mods.
I have the privelage of testing the new AMS Rotated GT35r turbo kit on my personal 08sti. This kit was made for the 02-07 impreza so I had to adapt it to work on my 08sti, which meant modding a few pieces like the intake and downpipe so the ones pictured are not AMS's pieces FWIW. But I would expect with in the next few weeks AMS will have the new pieces Jigged up for the 08sti so have no fear 08sti guys I am sure they will have you covered. For everyone else their kit will bolt right up and honestly it should only be about a days worth of work. It comes with very detailed instructions so I assume anyone with a basic mechanical skill could do the install. If not then give us a ring and we can get you hooked up

The AMS turbo kit's quality is second to none... I have yet to see such a well built kit. Hands down this is the most complete kit I have ever seen. From the time the box arrived I have been amazed. Every piece in the box was packaged in expanding foam to keep it safe. Every nut, bolt, zip tie, hose, clamps, etc.. that you could ever need to install the kit was also there. Not once did I have to run and find a bolt or hose to make it work. AMS has once again come through with a winning piece. I can say without a doubt that it gets the TOPSPEED STAMP OF APPROVAL!!

I plan on doing alot of testing with this kit since its on my persoal STI. My first plans are to switch out the current .82ar Tial V-band to a .63ar tial housing. I will post the dyno results when I do so, but as it sits now I am again surprised by the tial .82ar housing. Currently I am seeing 14psi @3600rpms and then 20psi @3900rpms. This is outstading for a .82ar housing as usually we don't see 20psi till low to mid 4k rpms. .

Deatschwerks also provided me with their very nice 850cc topfeed injectors, which are by far the nicest set of 850cc I have tuned. I have tuned on every type and brand of injector made and these DW850cc injectors are the $h!t, they start idle and drive just like factory everytime. I highly recommend anyone looking for a set of injectors to purchase a set of Deatschwerks and never look back.

Since this is my car and my DD I like to do things outside of the norm, so the car is setup to run the factory 08sti TMIC which in my opinion is a very well built piece. The fin density and core size is unbeatable, I have yet to find an intercooler that I think will beat the new stock sti's piece at a sub 500hp power level. The previous year sti's I could make about 400-430whp before the TMIC was just tapped out of flow. Well as some know the new 08sti runs a much larger factory TMIC which is why I wanted to push it. I had expected it to do well and support 450-500whp. While on the dyno doing 4th gear pulls the TMIC never got hot, hell it was barely warm to the touch. I was expecting it to work well but at this point I am beyond amazed... only thing I can attest it to is the fact that at 20psi the GT35r's output air temps are pretty low.
Clearly the combo of these few parts work very well.



I will post more as I do more testing.

lol... whoops

[TrkWhre]

really excited to see so much of the stock parts still usable at that hp. May just have to bite the bullet and spring for a kit and downgrade some of the other products i wanted to get ......

Doug, does the kit use a blow thru setup for the maf? I don't see the probe on your custom intake.

EDIT: I looked at ams's website and notice they offer either option (maf on the intake or blow through). Looking forward to seeing your testing with the .63 housing as well as upgrading some of the stock hardware.

Just put my Racetech seat in, since the factory seats suck on the track. I am tired or sliding around in my seat, and have a track day tuesday at CMP.

Crappy cell phone pics again... one of these days I will use my real camera and snap some good photos.

[Doug@TopSpeed]

Just snapped off some new photos as I am getting ready to leave the shop and drive to Carolina Motorsports Park. I will be bringing my TrackMate so I will have data and some killer incar videos to post up when I return. Nothing really new done to the car other than the Racetech seat, walbro fuel pump, and switching to the Cobb Speed Density. I have really been enjoying the car alot now, and have logged just over 1,500 miles with the new AMS kit and DW injectors with Zero issues so far. In total I have over 15,000 really hard miles now on my 08sti testing various different setups and it just compression tested perfect last night. Interesting thing is my car was one of the 08's that had the vin that fell under the stop sale which had me worried at first.

Until then here are how the car sits today.
