wow a lot of power for a stock STI block, great tunning and good choice of turbo. I am sure the turbo lag is what's helping that engine make that power, if that turbo made boost a lot eariler the torque would be crazy and shred that engine apart. Props for a clean set up though, you guys really pulled it off with this uniques STi body style.

This build is amazing. Would it be possible to post a cost/price sheet as your moving along as well.

The car is coming along beautifully .
No offense on the Deals Gap, but we all know cars have distinct advantage in braking and handling in very tight corners. If I'm not mistaken, that's pretty much all Deals Gap offers.
Obviously bike's advantages are high speed turns and accelation out of the turns.
Nonetheless, awesome build.

Today we received the heads that will sit atop the Manely 2.6L stroker in our 2011 STI. The heads have been reworked with CNC porting, Manely oversized valves, Manely Beehive springs and retainers.

Brian Crower Stroker? I was always under the impression that they weren't of the best quality due to lack of quality control. You trust them in a build of this caliber?

That was my mistake, I had another Subbie on my mind here at the shop that we are doing a Brian Crower 2.6L on. Our 2011 is a Manley 2.6L kit

Another update for everyone. We installed the PASSPORT 9500ci in the 2011 STI. This is a really sweet system!










The PASSPORT 9500ci is the ultimate custom-installed radar and laser defense system. With blistering all-band radar protection and precise laser "shifting" technology, speeding tickets can be a thing of the past. ESCORT continues to lead the industry by incorporating its patented GPS technology that automatically identifies the source and location of all radar signals. Real threats are processed in less than a second, while false signals are learned and eliminated. Now all you have to do is drive!

The PASSPORT 9500ci is completely undetectable to all radar detector detectors, keeping you unseen and unnoticed. Crystal-Clear Voice Alerts, Speed Alert™, Safety Warning System and its stealth installation make the PASSPORT 9500ci the ultimate in discreet protection. The all-new PASSPORT 9500ci is the Mack-Daddy of all radar and laser detectors. For those who only want the best in their vehicle. It is the ultimate balance of long-range performance, intelligent signal processing, simple intuitive controls, and the best overall driving experience ever developed. And, it's an ESCORT.

I checked the Escort website. They are not. Looks like a "ballah" system, though.
