Can't wait to hear your track impressions after all of these changes get dialed in.

Turbo kit is performing great so far! Still dialing in the tune. More feedback coming. Love the new wheels!

You need to get your friend to buy Arc wheels so you match. Did he wrap his car or paint it? I don't remember Subaru offering that color.

How does the shifter feel?

It's wrapped light grey. Shifter feels good. Lots more gear noise, heat and vibration come through it, but that's to be expected since it's bolted straight to the frame and transmission.

Also, are those serpentine belts held up in the form of racetracks on your wall, or something else? Because those are awesome.

That's interesting. I was sort of considering one of those shifters, because the videos of people shifting look so cool. No one mentions the noise, heat, and vibration though. Thanks.

Got the green light from HRI Tuning to proceed with WOT testing and logging yesterday...

The car pulls SO HARD with just the 9.4 psi wastegate spring. I was ecstatic. Still buzzing. Can't wait to drive it again and keep learning the car with all this extra power.

I just finished reading your build from the beginning. It is really impressive. I really appreciate the detail, I look forward to reading more and I'm really excited to start my project, our tastes are almost identical. I felt like I was reading something I wrote myself. Keep up the awesome work, people should look to you for a proper build thread. Thanks for the great read.

Spent some time yesterday reinstalling the oil cooler this time with better hoses, fittings and location. No more push-lock. Also drained the radiator and replaced all the antifreeze with distilled water + Purple Ice. She's running nice and cool now. Super easy to get all the air out of the cooling system with the Lisle funnel attachment for the rad cap.
