praedet Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Well gentlemen, I would like to wait for my "modified" Invidia DP to get here too, but I thought we might get together either this month or next to install this turbo and anything else anyone has...

enthusiast Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I would like to finally install my STi up pipe and possibly my STI tranny mount. Count me in. Collegemt and I just met today to do logging and some mods. We tried to see where I am getting this rattling/knocking is coming from. Sounds like either my cat in my up-pipe is coming loose or something in the manifold (passenger side). So I am taking it into the dealer next week to have them look at it since that should be covered under drive train warranty. (Maybe?)

praedet Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 ^^^Cool I want to wait for the DP for sure though. I am hoping to convince Legend to come so he and I can compare notes on tuning this thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 That turbo looks so nice, Praedet. I'm going the exact same route once KOP has them back in stock. Collegemt will have some valuable information for tuning that turbo soon. In particular, he will have a zero WGDC boost plot so we can see what the turbo does on it's own... and the fact that he is working with Mickey is absolutely golden... no better tuner anywhere. My schedule is very tight right now as I am working ~55 hrs/week and then have a Disneyland vacation the 2nd week in January. Still, I'd love to come!

chenc544 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Nice Ted. I got nothing to install, spent all my money on the bike, but count me in for the install day. Would be interested to see what kind of number you get out of that turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommypenguin Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 That looks hot Ted, pick a day and let me know, I'll come down for the install day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGuava Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'd be down to help with the install. Be good to meet some of you guys and learn about LGT's. Please let me know when you pick out a date. Kind of a newb question: But the VF52 comes out of the new sti right? Guess I should do some research, I know there's probably tons on it.

2furious Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I may come down to see or buy something to install... such as Sway bars or tranny mount kind of... Hope to see you guys... From Desert to Rocky to SLC !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collegemt Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Kind of a newb question: But the VF52 comes out of the new sti right? Guess I should do some research, I know there's probably tons on it. The VF52 comes on the 09 WRX, non STI version. It is a legacy style turbo which makes it a easy upgrade.
