am surprised it only just passed. with the sportcats it should have sailed through

thats great news matey.

It also keeps you legal for both MOT and roadside emissions testing. If you want, I could try and scan the pages of Scoobymag that had the Andy F article and post them up. The thing with the turbo is that assuming you don't want any more power in the future (and the 5 Speed box struggles with too much more anyway), then you are better to go for a turbo that isn't oversized and giving too much lag. Thanks matey. STI Bandit has already kindly scanned the article in question for me.

I am waiting for feedback on the sportcat downpipe as i would like to go this route. Not much difference in flow from decat and will keep me legal. Yeah i know big girls blouse.

cheers Peter, i am at work the now otherwise i would have popped across. I touch goats. Think i will be getting the knocklink as a precaution. The 18g i am confident is what i am going to go for. just need to decide on CAI or your extra large mushroom the size of belgium (i think it was described as by Steven).

Is that an offer Peter for a shot in your lovely car. I promise not to blow the coil pack this time.

I wish i had done as it would be an engine transplant i would go for then.

now i am stuck over CAI or somehting like the RCM K&N induction kit. One thing that does make me wary of the CAI is the fact it is so close to the road and if there is a lot of surface water or deep puddles (lets all face it we live in Scotland and this is normal) then would this be a problem. the K&N is inside the engine bay and when driving it should get all the cold air it needs. I am not going to be doing Crail or anything or going on track. So now i need to investigate CAI or K&N and also 18g or something else???????? Oh my head hurts. The lag i am not too bothered about on the 18g, it would give me options for modding later on if i feel like it. No one with a new age has mentioned having a knocklink fitted yet. Does anyone have one fitted? If not then the £11o ish pound could go towards something else.

not knowing much about turbos i am lookign for as much help with this as possible. I am not going to be taking the car on track so a wee bit of turbo lag is fine. I may also transport the turbo to the next car. I am looking for reliability in the end as this is my only means of transport.

Just when i thought i had all my list of mods finalised. looks like it will be a sportcat by the sounds of it. Is the knocklink needed on a newage? Can anyone help?

hi there. i have a set of eibachs fitted to my blobeye and they are fine. they lower the car nice and the ride is not too far off standard. as for geometry i got mine done by Duncan at Hypertech in Bonnybridge.

I have sent the master Andy F an email but would be interested to hear other people's views on whether i need STI topmount intercooler and if i should go for sportcat downpipe or decat downpipe and keep centre section cat.

hi there. welcome aboard

hello and welcome. there big brakes you have there,

Some nice lookign cars there. What are your thoughts on the ECUTEK controller meter?

squirrel my good man I touch goats.

some nice sounding cars there. Also some nice camera work.

yeah but the 18g is a good turbo well when i say 300ish i mean 320-330bhp lol. i want something special. what are your thoughts on manual boost controller and lambdalink Steven? Are they worth fitting?

Looks good matey. some nice handywork there

well would keeping the centre cat and changing to a decat downpipe be a compromise? i would also be interested to know if the STI intercooler will make much difference. Am only aiming for 330 ish bhp.

i was hoping to keep the standard intercooler but not sure. i am not aiming for massive power. if i can get 300ish i will be happy. this is my everyday car so not wanting to do to much to it.

Right. I may as well disclose my plans now so that i can get some advice. I am going to be taking my standard WRX blobeye and fitting the list below: - 18g turbo STI pink injectors Walbro fuel pump APS CAI 65mm knocklink lambdalink defi BF oil pressure, oil temperature and boost gauges decatted up pipe boost controller ECUTEK remap hopefully by the master Mr Andy F Now what i am looking for some advice on is do i need anything else to keep it reliable and also do i fork out money for a sportcat downpipe or leave it with the standard one or fit a decat downpipe or fit a decat downpipe and put the centre cat back in? I know you will all say decat everything but i would rather keep one cat in place. I can live with not getting the extra 10bhp. give me your suggestions cheers chris

fai17 (Peter) I touch goats matey.

i am going to be looking for upgraded injectors and was thinking about STI pink ones. I have a walbro fuel pump on order which will hopefully arrive later this week. What do you mean by reverse the OE fuel path flow? It is a blobeye i have. Do i still need to do the above???

will have a walbro 255 fuel pump and sti pink injectors fitted. Well hypothetically thats what the setup would be.
