I would skip all the junk.. sounds like they're just trying to charge you $1,895 for less than $100 worth of options you don't need.

Look under the hood, there are two dipsticks, one is engine oil, the other is transmission fluid (toward the firewall, passenger side by the turbo)....

1. yes 2. there are several synthetic fluids that are comparable 3. no

Ohhh... that's pretty bad. :(

I would go as far to say that even a 3076 would be better suited to 268 cams than 272s. The thing is, the 30r turbine wheel does not flow enough up...

Yea, a 20g-XT would be great for daily on a 2.5L.. but it's not well suited to 272 cams. GSC S1s would probably be the best cams for a 20g, even STi...

If you're making under 450wtq I would say a 5mt with PPGs would be better for daily and 1/4 mile simply based on the longer ratios. You could...

My car is more than 400hp over stock and I use stock heat range copper plugs without an issue.

Define "better". The six speed will handle more torque and should be more reliable. A 5mt with PPGs will be lighter with longer gear ratios. A six...

No, stock gears are non-adjustable.

My 2002 did not require any modification to the oil filter (should be the same 02-05).

Are you sure your tire isn't rubbing on the fender liner?

You need to have the car professionally tuned for the MBC, you can't just put one on and turn up the boost.. unless you are experienced with tuning...

I probably still have them somewhere, but I know at least one of them was blown when I pulled them.

How old is your computer?? My tuning laptop is nine years old and it's more than capable of logging. Technically anything that will run Windows XP...

Yes, entirely possible. I think I'm a little confused here.. did you both buy tunes from Eric or what? If so, why not send him logs to correct...

It's not safe to run an intake without a tune, so if there's no info as far as the tune or anything I would just return the car and look for a...

What car is it? What exactly are all the mods done to it? What tune is it on, and who tuned it?

Sounds like a bad tune.

But who cares about stock power levels?

So apparently the TB->IC hose on 08+ WRX (and I would assume LGT) is junk.. I'll keep that in mind.

A built engine is not going to make any more power than a stock one.. if anything it will make less.

The shop is trying to gouge you.. you can get a "new" used motor for $1000-$1500, and the install labor shouldn't cost more than $800.. more like...

Pro Sport stuff doesn't work.. at least it didn't for me.

At $550 I would be interested.. but honestly, they look like knock offs. I would have to inspect them in person.

That will do it every time. You cannot run a stage one map with an aftermarket downpipe and expect the engine not to blow.. and on top of that the...

Were you planning on putting it together yourself?

I suppose a couple hundred dollars short of $2900, depending on who you have put it together.

Depending on what units you're talking about, that sounds normal.

How cheap? I don't see much point in paying for a working block just to tear it apart. For reference, I just replaced my case halves for $250 after...
