After all is said and done it took me about 2 months to get everything put together. I kept running into snags like not getting the studs with my up-pipe or them sending off the wrong PnP'd exhaust manifolds. But they helped me get the issues resolved quickly.

More pictures to come when I get a chance.

Glad to see everything is coming along. How's the HTA68? I'm thinking about going down that street with a hybrid build...

[fire_cky]

Well the Perrin FMIC and I'm going to paint the headlights. Soundsystem is also in the works.

Dude, the turbo is AWESOME. Not only does it make power but it spools fast. I'm hitting full boost at 3200 rpms. Of course my PnP and coating helps out a lot with that, but lag is more or less non existant.

[zax]

yeah I've heard that it spools as quickly as the EVOIII 16G with more top end.

Anxiously waiting pics of the V4 interior

[Drews]

Yes I will be selling it as soon as I install my FMIC

They are nice. Makes the ride a lot different.

That would actually be funny and badass!

Are you still running the stock injectors with that turbo? I am just thinking of getting this turbo too eventually...I don't know if I want to though before I beef up my transmission.

Is the turbo pretty much plug and play....as in do I need to modify anything to get it to work on my 06 WRX TR? I thought I read somewhere that I may need to....

I think Drews bought Deatschwerks if I recall...but its a relatively larger turbo compared to even a stock VF39/43 STI turbo (flows similarish to a 20G)...so I would imagine you'd have to upgrade at least to 750s or so just so you aren't maxing out the duty cycle.
