Just wanted to say after reading this thread a few times and seeing your endless contributions to the forum that I really appreciate the depth of knowledge and your willingness to share. King Tut too. I'm not sure if I'll end up going with a turbo or tuned NA, but this is pretty much that path I'll follow if I do. I just hope I have more time in WA being right between Nameless, AVO, and Drift Office

Without looking at the chart, it sounds like you're saying the turbo doesn't spool til 4.5K. Do you mean to say, you don't hit peak boost til 4.5k? The turbo is spooling far before that...

Yep. The two get used interchangeably for some reason. He is pulling boost starting before 3000 RPM I am sure.

You are welcome. Since you are up there, can you go ask Nameless when their unicorn is coming out?

Yes, I said full spool meaning when hitting full boost.

Already did, they're tight lipped. I'm waiting myself. I'll be heading down to their shop on Columbus Day weekend and I'll ask again (assuming you're talking about the headers, and yay for DONSAs).

(DONSA: in Joint Base Lewis-McChord speak, day of no scheduled activities. Take something simple like "training holiday" and turn it into mush-mouthed acronym soup.)

The PNW is Subaru heaven. Unless you were talking about me personally, in which case I'm married but maintain a "would go gay for" list currently occupied by Daniel Craig.

To the top. When you getting some more parts so we can add some more replies to this thread so you can brag how many views/replies it has in a Visconti thread. I am hoping to get some more JPM parts for my birthday, probably won't have them before Southeast86 meet though.

Hahaha! The Visconti thread was a reference to the FI review thread. But nonetheless, this shit has 1.2K replies I could not believe my eyes when I saw it right now!

Well, I stumbled upon someone that wanted to buy the stock injectors, so I sold them and with that money bought the ebay front lip Will be installed for the SE86 meet.


Also, there's a good chance I'll go to the track Saturday, Street Racing Made Safe event in PBIR.

(Better keep the replies coming, the 10 series born TRD thread just passed 1K and is coming for the crown! )

Get some good video if you do. So you sold your OEM Subaru port injectors? How do you keep selling OEM parts to people, haha. What about the aftermarket ones and fuel pump? I saw your thread is locked. Which ebay lip?

Will do on the videos.

Yep, OEM injectors. It was another one of those just looking at the FS section and someone posted WTB stock injectors, asked how much he wanted to spend, looked at how much they were brand new and just made sense.

The aftermarket ones I'm going to auction them. Do something completely different here. Going to auction them for two weeks in the forum, if they still don't sell, going to put them on ebay.

The Bayson R Lip.

Going to make a new thread about the Auction sale.

Thats true, and I didn't want it initially because of it. But Thought what the heck, whatever I get its going to scrape...

There is a front splitter I believe in carbon fiber that looks really good.
