after month of procrastinating....psssshh!
 
Well maybe I need to change my name now cause I finally installed my homemade kit I bought like almost a year ago from a guy here. It consist of a wrx turbo connected to a hf mani. dsm smic and 1g bov. the charge pipes took me like 30 minutes to make up from charge pipes I snagged from a mx6 and some aluminum intake piping. I still have to install the fmu and fuel pump that I have cause it's bogging once I hit like 6.5-7k. I haven't drove a turbo'd car since my old 87 slaab 9000. It feels good to feel that turbo spool up. Only thing is that when I installed the manifold and turbo the actuator got like a 1/4 inch dent in the side of it from a bolt that holds on the lower front driver side engine mount on my eg hatch. I'll post some pics once it stops raining out. Also I need a wrx actuator if anyone has one or one that'll work with it. email at hndphilemon@tds.net if you've got one or can hook me up with one.
