Default 07WRBSTI all methed out, don't tell the police

Finally going to make a journal. I am on this site every day I kind of just lurk most of the time though. I am a 2006 graduate of the University of Evansville with a degree in Mechanical engineering. I'll actually admit that the Gran Turismo games got me into watching rally and Subaru's. I had deceided long ago that I would buy myself a "graduation present" within a year of graduating. So finally I picked up my 07 WRB STI on September 25 of 2006 with 6 miles on the clock. This picture is one that I took after cleaning it for the first time.




Right now I am Stage II with a Cobb catted turboback, whiteline sways and kartboy endlinks.

Plan on going to a 3 inch 20G externally gated, but I need someone to fund that.

Thanks

It's Thermotech copper 2000F heat paint (supposed to help) and Copper heat wrap. I Just wrapped the portion that is in the engine bay. I used 50 ft of wrap so it is really wrapped. I don't know if the paint was worth it but it looks pretty cool, I also sprayed my heat shield. I bought everything from Summit Racing.

I only got enough for just the bottom. I know it isn't ideal but it is not a big deal

Default Killer 20g plan

I haven't updated for a while and I thought what the hell. I have been doing a lot of research and I have my engine mod planning mapped out pretty well. Here she goes, I should be completely done by March.

3in inlet 8cm Deadbolt 20g (td-06) setup for EWG
APS turbo inlet
APS 70mm CAI
Process West TMIC
Phenolic Intake spaces
DIY TGV deletes
Maddad Header and uppipe (modded for EWG, also heatwrapped)
Tial 44mm Ext wastegate
1 step colder plugs
Walbro Fuel pump
Deatschwerks 750 cc injectors
SMC meth injection kit
Boost logic turbo bag
gold reflective foil on area around turbo
ACPT driveshaft (will buy when I've sold enough stock parts to purchase this)
Tune by Scott Siegel

I hope for 400/400 and some awesome spool.

What do you guys think?

Please talk me out of this

Full-Race singlescoll T3, by my estimation this will cost a G more than what I have listed above, if I buy all new parts.

or this

+700 bucks (30R)

Twinscroll hands down. I don't know why you'd even debate between the two lol.

After emailing back and forth with Geoff @ Full-Race, there is no doubt that they make some amazing parts. I'm waiting until after SEMA to see what they reveal information wise (dyno plots, pictures, reviews) before going ahead with the twinscroll GT3076R kit.

You know that both the singlescroll T3 and twinscroll 30R are going to be laggy as hell compared to the 20g setup you had planned, right?

The twinscroll 30R is the way I would go, won't be terribly laggy at all.

You'll get sick of the minimal gains from the 20G quickly.

If Full race would make me a kit with like a GT28R or something. I value spool over max power. Plus I would love to stay top mount and don't mind meth injection. I know with a TMIC I will leave some on the table but I want lightning spool.

if you value spool over max power, i recommend our twinscroll 3071R kit. This is only slightly larger than the 28R, but due to the tremendous turbine efficiency acheived by use of the twinscroll, the spoolup, low end, and midrange are phenomenal.

This setup combined with a TMIC is one of the most efficienct and fastest responding setups i could possibly imagine, in any platform.

Been a while since I've updated this. I got my meth kit in on Wednesday. It's an SMC kit with a spec C intercooler tank and aquamist DDS3 failsafe.
