My 02' Burgundy WRX

PERFORMANCE MODS:

E-Beazy top mount w/ STI Y-Pipe (e-bay)
catless up pipe/ Downpipe

Other mods:

[RayfieldsWRX]

What turbocharger are you running on your Axis engine? Stock boost implies that you're still running the stock TD04.

[Redsubie]

yea.... stock ECU, turbo, & fuel! Sucks, but I have to crawl before I can walk. Axis charged about $2199 for the block w/ internals, but there's supporting parts that you have to get w/ it... gasket sets, head studs, head gasket sets... blah...blah Plus I'm paying like $2500 getting it installed.... so yea, I'll be working w/ that stock turbo 4 a while.
