  1. really love this kit....thumbs up on a great job putting it together!!!
  2. finally did mine tonight...took about 20 minutes...tedious, but not difficult. I didn't have a filter in there either. I do now!
  3. anyone measure the entire 08/09 STi LCA? It's Alum and *might* be cheaper OEM option than the SpecB. Part numbers aren't the same but dimensions might be.
  4. YOu have 555 on yr rear bumper? That was me and Unclemat....he was tuning my freshly installed AVO front mount.
  5. Guys...this thread is long overdue here. While we've all bought tons of stuff from each other, I just got a turbo from a guy that was packed like crap...even AFTER the fact that I told the guy specifically to watch how to pack it! How to pack a turbo: #1 - WRAP THE TURBO IN A BAG OF SOME SORT. This will help prevent packing material (LIKE CRAP ASS PACKING PEANUTS) from getting into the wheels, oil, and/or coolant lines. Once the turbo has been packaged in a bag, wrap it in at LEAST 2 layers of bubble wrap! This will help cushion it for it's hell ride to the new owner. So now there is a turbo in a bag, now wrapped in bubble wrap, lets find a box for it. The box should NOT be so big that the turbo bounces around like a tennis ball at Wimbledon...you want it to be in a box that is big enough to hold the turbo, but also not too small so that it bulges and things like coolant lines do NOT POP THROUGH THE BOX! Great, you're almost there. At this point, you're ten, maybe fifteen minutes into the process. After you have it in a box...get smart...add some peanuts, add another layer of cardboard on all sides/bottom/top, add stuff like old newspapers, whatever you got...just get it nicely stuffed in there to SECURE the turbo. OK...i'm over this rant and how to...I just hope this helps somebody not have to deal with crap ass shipping from a seller.
  6. killer write up! hope I never have to do this, otherwise I'll waste a whole day taking it all apart just to have to take it to an upholstery shop to put it all back together LOL Very nice work tho!
  7. Please report your findings!
  8. you should put a trans cooler and IPT valve body on that car pronto.
