YEESSSS, I knew I had seen this some where.
I was at EVOR on thursday, the STI rear seat was the give away.

Very, very clean GC8. Looks a million bucks.
Well done.

Your "seat of your pants" DYNO is going to be working overtime from that day on

Not to mention that punchy combo in the lightwieght GC is going to be great daily and weekend duty

*** sitting at work after 11 hours trying not to laugh at the word "duty" (sounds kinda dirty after the insanity kicks in)

Hey Cam,

Congrats on the new power hike. I am sure the car feels completely different now with the new turbo. The rest of it is all coming along too. Well done

Turned out to have 2 EG Leaks in the up-pipe and cat gaskets. Car sounds pretty nice now that they are fixed!

As you all know we are at 210HP on the restricted GC WRX TMIC and not spending a full amount of time on tuning this current setup - just putting it extremely conservative so I can get around town for a couple of weeks while we wait for the Silicone Y Pipe to arrive.

I have asked Mao to also organise the Walbro Fuel Pump to be installed prior to the final tune (Should have done this already but I overlooked it, too. Oops!).

I like the VF28 already - the car feels more like a car I guess. TD04 seemed to have this quick little zip as soon as you put your foot down but runs out very quickly. Opposed to this VF28 which when driving at normal speeds and rpm, there really isnt much boost happening at all (dont need it at this stage anyway), but when you put the pedal to the metal it quickly creeps up on you. This turbo I can feel myself being pushed back right into the redline which is much better, and what I expected to feel when I purchased the car in the beginning.

We should both drive Dave - He co-drive me, and I co-drive in Betty. But.. 70k car smashed into wall is not a good idea also.
