2.2L motor 113K miles $50
rhb5 turbo from suby 1.8L freeby
oil & cooler lines $5
header pipe (custom made from 9 pieces of exhaust tube from several old exhaust pipes and a tone of welding) Damn flat 4 sooby mill
Down pipe is 2 1/4" to glass pack to pipe out of left of car
intercooler from 1G dsm $25 (not on yet , -10 temp for the past week who the hell needs an intercooler)
volvo bov $20 (wanted to vent to atmosphere but car runs like dick)
4psi boost (engine knock at wot unless I pinch off fuel return line)
Pleasure of driving home on snow covered roads with this new found power (priceless)

From your title I thought you built your own WRX.

Save your money and don't get the FMU. Get real management, it'll save you money down the road

Added premeum fuel and a can of octane boost today. Looks like it helped, can't here it ping any more. still need some type of management in the future , near future. Next is some real exhaust The pipe out the side and burnt out glass pack is just calling for trouble!! Still can't believe how much power 4psi makes
