If the only the U.S papers had sections like these I'd buy it everyday.

Update:

Car is now driving again with all the parts installed. I'm going to do the 500 mile break in for the new clutch kit. Clutch pedal is nice, I love it. Basically almost the same as stock..

Also whatever exhaust my car came with, it's titanium, light as a feather! The cat convertor was way heavier than the catback itself. The MAP o2 eliminator downpipe fit PERFECT! I absoloutely love it..

Now to get myself a tactrix cable and hit up Tamer for a tune..

After a peaceful night of reading and reviewing results I have decided to go with MAP's 'long runner' direct replacement stock turbo tubular exhaust manifold.

My reason for picking this manifold over a ported stock manifold, or their short runner version is because this one makes good power over all two of them in mid range and up top, another reason why I'm going with the this one is because I do plan to upgrade my turbo sometime next year but I will not be doing anything like Precision/Garrett etc. I will be going with a stock frame turbo

I won't be going FP series. Right now, I really think I'll be going with the EF3.

I am a huge fan of MAP's products so most of everything I order will be from them. Anyway, this is all next year talk.

Things I plan to order within the next 2 months:
-AEM Digital Boost Display Gauge (-30-35PSI) - To replace my Autometer Analog gauge
-NGK Iridium Spark Plugs / Heat Range 8 (BPR8EIX / DSM & Evo)
-Hallman Pro Boost Controller
-Hallman Cockpit Cable Add-On
-Walbro 255lph High Pressure Fuel Pump & Install Kit (DSM / Evo / WRX & STi)

Took the car to the local 1/8 mile track today, ran a best time of 8.233 @ 85.5MPH.. I'm still trying to learn the car, with the new clutch kit the launch is a bit more tricky now and those 235/45/17 R1Rs don't make it any easier at all!

If I don't slip the clutch off the line properly it'll bog.. Hopefully I get some more seat time next Sunday..
