Built Motor- Rods, Pistons
Version 7 JDM Heads
Magnus intake
Big turbo
Cams, valvetrain

Re: (triple_s1x)
This is Matt posting from Mikes name.
I wanted the turbo there to shorten the piping, I'm not sure if you guys have seen how much piping is in the engine bay of a normal wrx but I think we took like 8 feet of pipe out. The oil return wasn't how I planned it, we had problems and ended up having to sump it. We also had to put a breather line on the sump, thats the 4 an line going up to the catch can. We will work on getting it to look pretty after we get it to run right. This car has faught us on every level.

lol. Get it running right first then clean it up.... because something always needs to be changed before the tune is finished 9 times out of 10.

Re: (PrecisionH23a)
Any pictures from the bottom? Also since you guys went pretty nuts on shorting the piping length why wasn't the intake manifold rotated? I'm sure you can lose another 3-4 feet of piping.
