Ran the IAG Stage 4 Extreme closed deck for 45,000 miles (115,000 miles to 160,000 miles) at ~660whp at 39psi until a GSC valvespring suddenly broke and caused a bent valve. GSC refused to respond to any of my emails and questions

Lesson? DON'T BUY GSC BEEHIVE VALVESPRINGS

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ran the setup below: IAG Stage 2 block at >500whp 26-30psi for 3 years (1/2013-2/2016) with minimal oil burn/slap and minimal power loss; oil analyses posted below​

• Manley H-Beam Rods
• ACL Main and Rod Bearings
• OEM Nitrided Crank
• OEM 11mm Oil Pump
• Killer B Oil Pickup with Baffle

IAG Stage V Heads

Stock STi = 225whp on IAG dynojet

GT35R (not HTA86) comparisons/videos below

Dyno graph comparison (stock heads vs. IAG built heads, 272s) to illustrate how much IAG Stage V heads flow; no confounding variables because boost was kept the same as well as the turbo and all other parts of my setup.

Re: 2008 World Rally Blue STI - keepin' it simple

Looks good! How mcuh was that front lip if you dont mind me asking?

 

[user1029]

Re: 2008 World Rally Blue STI - keepin' it simple

Robotvoice: I'll take some pictures over the weekend but 30% is a perfect balance between blocking out UV and not looking too illegal!

RMG: I got the lip 6 months ago for $230 shipped but now they are going for $160 shipped on ebay.

subydude: Thanks! Pleasure doing business with you guys
