Alright like im sure most everyone else did, i started this on MSF and there's no way in hell im copying everything over. If you guys want the back story, Go read it on MSF;
As for whats been done, heres a brief history. I got the car in December of 06 after i graduated boot camp. Did just a CAI and full exhaust afterwards and the other usual stuff. Then i put the bigger turbo on andthe LTA intercooler setup. Shortly after that my EBC decided one day it didnt want to work anymore and i over boosted on an on ramp and that was the end of the original motor.
Eventrually i sent the car up to speed performance and had them rebuild the motor and take care of some other stuff. Once i got it back i started tuning it with e85 and got the 6th port fuel setup working right and the car was making decent power. Then 2 months before i deployed i kicked the access port cable and it came unplugged while i was flashing a map and i bricked the ECU.
Fast forward another 9 months once i got back and i sent the computer to COBB and had them bench flash it back to stock. I started tuning it once again and ended up making 509/460 on E85 as per virtual dyno. Once i moved to maryland i retuned for pump gas since there's no E85 close to me down here and thats pretty much where the car sits right now.
Future plans aren't really to do anything crazy with it. Its pretty much where i want it right now. I need to re-do part of my downpipe and properly make a mount for my oil catch can. Also ive been toying with adding an STI lip but im missing the black plastic lower piece of my bumper so i dont know if it will mount up right at all.
So thats where im at now. As the car sits now, this is whats been done.
