Got the car on the road this morning after the Walbro install. It has been up on Jack stands for the last week or so. It is currently tuned using the Cobb VF39 map as directed by DBtuned. My appointment is Thursday morning for the dyno tune. I am "talking" here because my wife and kids look at me like I am from mars when I talk about my progress and the power.
Results:
I have not given the car more than 1/3 throttle and not over 3500 RPM so far. The car is TOTALLY different and wants to go! The power is amazing. I can't wait until after the tune on Thursday! Looks cool at the stoplight with smoke billowing out of the hood scoop from the DEI wrap on the downpipe. The kids want the old guy to get out of the car before he burns up. I am glad I did not put on the silicone spray stuff. I wrapped the Cobb pipe from the top to just before the cat and modified the stock turbo heat shield. I had a new cobb heat shield on hand but felt like the stocker would work better with some mods.
Mods this week:
Grimmspeed Ceremic PnP sti exhaust
STi uppipe
New VF48
STi TMIC
Stock airbox right down to the fram filter
Cobb catted downpipe
STi midpipe and muffler
Walbro 255
New Colder plugs (Cobb reccomendation)
Cobb VF39 map (used with caution until tune!!)
Suspension:
Swift springs
Perrin rear sway bar
Lateral link weld supports
Mods coming:
02-03 STi scoop
Subtle splitter
Subtle Chimney
Some type of brake upgrades
I was able to grind off the exhaust hanger fron the forester pipe behind the muffler towards the front of the car. It is exactly opposite of the STi one. I will weld it on today and there is no need to remove the STi hanger.
OK sorry I am excited:woohoo:
