well that list looks impressive mate and look forward to hearing about the progress and end result, $10-15K ?

[SillySora]

+ Labour.

[GTSPECB STI]

That's pretty much what I figured, but should be a huge leap forward in terms of power. Running 25-28 psi should produce some serious HP & Nm numbers.

[SillySora]

One thing that I have found is that Big Numbers don't mean good times .

But this setup will take advantage of the Avo 450 turbo plus the auto upgrade should have good results. Well I hope.

[teK--]

Damn mate that's one sweet looking powertrain upgrade . I haven't seen any pics of your car, is it sleeper?

[subnub]

Sounds decent mate, this is a bit closer to the level of mods I'm used to seeing! Make sure you spend the time and money on getting decent headwork done, the gains you can make from optimising flow through the head are fantastic, and if you're running a CR low enough to need 2 bar of boost you'll want to get that turbo spinning as early as possible. I see you mention oversized valves and machined chambers but not sure if that means you're doing the ports too, I'm guessing yes but just in case...

Also, just curious - is that turbo big enough to take full advantage of the forgies/head work/cams?

[SillySora]

Pics or somewhere on here some with the 20's and some with the 18 Sti

The Turbo can support up too 30 psi. So I hit full boost at 3600 I think so with the 3500 Stall Should be a nice 60ft and1/4 mile time.

[GTSPECB STI]

that set up will let you smoke all fours easily I suggest

[50BIE]

That sounds like a great upgrade Shane, so who is doing the work?
and more importantly yell out when your going to see how it goes down the 1/4, I want to be there

cheers
Steve

[Fangin_RX]

I want pictures of the tyres lighting up once the boost jumps around like mad , Ive only see it once from an 06 WRX that went to Subaru near me running 30 PSI, wasnt big but they smoked up quick

[overl0ad]

i'd be interested to hear your feedback on turbo lag if any.

I rang a lot of people about the 5 speed I mean A lot. MV Automatics are the only people to say yep straight away and have done a couple. I know they are pretty good in the Toyota side of things. Also said yeah most people won't touch the 5 or 6 speed

Hope all is good cost me 1200 for shift kit stall converter and freight.
