Love your boost build guys! I have to be honest. So far I love my UEL header very much, but I drove a turbo BRZ last weekend, and I can't stop thinking about it This is my goal for next summer. Cant wait to see more updates!

Very cool so far. Some folks local to me "way up here" have your headers and goods and I can say its all great quality stuff. Look forward to your final Turbo release, specs and pricing.

It's a little chattery but not unbearable. Clutch itself it's great, has nice peddle feel and isn't harsh for daily driving. I would highly recommend it.

Had a customer stop in today for a little more Power. Following list was installed.

Car was dropped off first thing this morning and is ready to tune by 3:30pm. Talk about a transformation in 1 day!

Begin the transformation.

Front still in the box awaiting some anti-seize (these are using the 6k springs currently and they included 7k springs as well, just in case I want them later)


Rear sitting on the table, ready to go in



And installed...






Once the install was complete I stayed out in the shop with the guy who did the install (I didn't get his name but he was a very cool guy) and we started at a 1" drop. He re-installed the wheels and I wanted to go lower so we weighed the pros and cons of a 50mm drop so he put the car back in the air and took all the wheels off and went down .5", then reinstalled everything and dropped it off the lift to see if I liked it. I apologized and said that I would like to go a little lower (no wheel tuck, just low enough to close the gap). His response was, "Hey man, no worries. This is what I get paid to do and I'll keep making changes until you are happy with it." Like I said, awesome crew.

The ride is certainly different. It is stiffer than stock for sure but not like riding in a kart. The dampers are set in the middle so it isn't a bone-jarring ride around town. But the handling... wowzers!

I was heading home and turning right on a green turn arrow and took the corner at a decent clip (nothing ridiculous) behind a line of other cars turning right, and was going to swing wide as I left the apex of the corner for a smooth turn. Until... I see the grill of a police car that was making a U-turn (and not slowly either) without lights or siren. I jerked the wheel hard right and the car stuck to the inside lane like it was on a slot car track with no hesitation. (Cop sped off)

I was debating between Titan Motorsports and Rev Works for my car and I am glad that I went with RW. Titan is a big money operation and puts out great work but it didn't feel as personal. RW has the same quality but much more down-to-earth. And, with all of the Scoobies around their shop, it is obvious that they specialize in our car and boxers in general. Highly recommended shop Too bad I am moving in two weeks to the opposite end of the country

PS. Sorry if I blew out your eardrums when you got in the car Matt

@revworks I'm trying to do my diligence with coilovers and get some good honest opinions on what experienced shops recommend. I love your work and would value your input. My budget is something in the BC range but if the stance are that much better I would be inclined to splurge. Thoughts? (Btw, I know there's plenty of suspension threads but its on topic right now and this shop is the goo)
