Sup guys just joined. My first Subaru and first standard. It's a 2004 STi. Fairly simple mods just a cai and a cat back exhaust. I also have nitrous that's hooked up but not filled so more of a show thing. Got it for free from my friend lol. I'll post pics up of my car when I get near a computer lol.
New guy first subie

As promised how she stands now probably gonna go lower in the spring and add a lip. Working on performance now.
Dyno done at EFI logcs in Bethel CT. Car pulled 252whp 249ftlbs. Not too bad for a fairly stock car.
Who said bottles were for babies?
I love this shot lol, doing brakes at school.

Welcome OP
All USDM STI's seem to have pistons made of plastic. ; ) I think the failure rate goes up with 07+'s though, I believe 04-06 USDM pistons are exactly the same and have less failure rates overall.

Not doubting you but any documentation to back that up?

Welcome! Enjoy the forum!
IMO the 16G is a waste of money for the purpose of an upgrade. It is no better than the stock snail. Go with at least a 18G or even better, a 20Gxt. You will not be sorry and the spool can be made similar to stock.
Check out BadSTI's journal when you get a chance. That'll give you an idea.

Keep the TMIC when running smaller turbos, no need to go FMIC IMO. Also, 20g FTMFW.
Nothing right now, I just got the car in august and being in school is limiting my mods lol. Any recommendations? Im looking into a accessport in the spring before I get my car tuned.

Well your second picture is on the dyno. Was this done while you had the car? I would imagine you are being tuned here which is why I didn't ask the question. This could also just be a base line. I would find out for sure before you decide on engine management.
If it does boil down to it and you are in need of some kind of engine management, I'm with defined performance. AccessPort FTW:tup:

Ya Im looking at getting one in the spring Im just ding visual stuff right now, suspension and upkeep.
I was just getting a baseline reading. They said its ok to run it untuned for a couple months. Im just having trouble gathering founds being a college student with no hours due to retail sucks in the winter lol.

I say don't get an AP, why spend $500+ on a new AP + $250 - $500 on a pro tune when you could go OpenSource for just the price of the pro tune?
