Ok where to start...

Here is what im trying to have by the time I get home...

APS Turbo Inlet (CHECK)
-Bought this for my birthday

APS DR525 FMIC
-Using my Per Diem for this one

APS DR Series Race Fuel System Top Feed
-Since Im using APS stuff on my car might as well just get these to really make sure that my fuel system is set. I have no reason to cheap out and get anything less then APS. I figured that I could use some money that I get from selling the TMIC, or something for these bad boys.

JDM 'TGV Delete' Intake Manifold Risers "Top Feed"
-The reason that I would like to go this route is that I cross threaded my damn bolt holes that hold my fuel rails down... So I might as well kill two birds with one stone with getting these so that I can do the TGV and fix that minor issue.

Im going to also change out the Motor, Tranny, Rear Diff Oil, and Flush the Rad. I will also be looking at replacing my brake pads, turning my rotors and getting my car aligned.

My main concern with the fueling is that I didn't realize that I had a slow injector leak that was forming on front drivers side. I don't think that it would impact the tune that much but you never know.

I also want to push the car a bit harder then we did that one night to really see what she can do. I dont want to go super crazy, but I think we can do a lot better then what we did that one night. (Still thought it was great though)

I think after all this is said and done that Im going to lay off the Engine stuff and work on some other bits and pieces. I guess I tend to strive to for perfection in everything that I do, but I know it doesn't exist in this hobby of mine.

I really have changed my goals since I started working on the wagon as you know. I dont know if you remember saying that I wanted 400whp for my wagon, but I will be fine If I can get a solid 310-320hp 320-330tq...

Anyways thats just what I was thinking, sorry for rambling.

Wes

Ahh. Well, I tuned your car very conservative with fuel (10.5:1), so you are prolly ok there even with the leak. You were pushing 280 WHP, so yeah with those parts and the fixed injector, a tad more aggressive tune, easy 315-320 WHP.

I am hoping for a 11.6 in the 1/4. Gotta be faster than the stock turbo STI record.
