The AC system on these cars is really small, so it doesn't have much cooling capacity. With mine, the low AC refrigerant volume makes the system cycle on/off too much, even with the refrigerant...

Eliminate it. You are going to need a tune with that turbo anyway, so eliminate the pyrometer and just have the code tuned out. Those probes are known for breaking off and getting sucked into the...

There is no coolant running through the intake manifold, so there is only one way coolant got into the intake. Defective turbo.

For the STI Brembos (and many other BBKs) you'll need different wheels. They have to have a specific spoke design to clear the massive brake calipers. 04 STI wheels do nicely. But that is another...

Turbos can be problematic on cars that haven't been meticulously maintained. Insurance is almost exactly the same as my 98 LGT, maybe a bit less.

Removing weight is going to do very, very little for mpg on the highway. It only helps marginally in the city because you are always speeding up/slowing down. At a constant speed, aerodynamics and...

Take off either the intake ducting or the downside and spin the wheel, see how smooth it spins and try to pull the turbo shaft in/out. If it feels gritty when spinning or moves in/out, 1) don't drive...

Only says that when a flash is in progress because the ipc cannot communicate with the pcm. With the test connectors jumped, the fan will cycle on and off and the cell will flash.

Ive seen this well. Except the car I saw it on had a 3inch hole in the floor under the seat where the owner had run over a boulder. Same problem, though.

If you have a rear O2 sensor code, ignore the cat efficiency code. If the rear O2 isn't functioning properly, the pcm cannot accurately monitor the cat.

I have 225-50-17 on my car. They fit fine and helped a bit with road noise. Definitely make the car a bit higher but the stock size tires look goofy on a big car.
