They have a thread on here about their build. I think it's in other cars. Dave Buschur was pulling some good mods on an STi with minimal mods, he was pretty much limited by the teeny turbo.

but an apexi avcr to keep boost higher at the higher RPM's. Will prevent taper a couple psi. but you will pay much more for a ebc. AVCR is about $400 but you get alot of features.
1. seperate boost maps
2. boost control per gear
3. start duty
4. boost per rpm
to name a few
Problem is most people cant tune them so they are better off with a mbc. a monkey could figure out (right is more, left is less) lol mbc's are dummy proof
Hope that helps you decide.
thanks for your help much appreciated Bro!

Told him a subie wasn't in that equation. He'd need twice the $$$
I remember a couple years ago trying to inform Onlygibson,Nick and other Flat4 crew of there Suby's need for speed potential. Boostn u were the only one that converted. Oh the excuses were funny and how they all claimed that all the evo owners invested heavily into their cars to make them faster and if they invested that much they would be faster.
Nick even claimed he beat me MM with his turbo upgraded STi because of a timimg Glitch that had me running a 12.8 at 118 mph but I was 4 cars ahead and he ran a 12.5 at 110mph. It was definitely an 11.8 run and my only good one at a rain delayed MM event where traction was a huge issue. It was also funny or sad that he could not run anymore claiming clutch problems, however as his car idled it sounded like a spun bearing was the problem. A week later he was inquiring about building his motor and apparently his car disappeared from the scene for awhile. Yeah I had fun going on Flat4 and stirring the pot.
Yeah, they should know by now which car is cheaper to make fast and just stick to how their interior is superior and that the Sti is better on dirt track.
