After a big stuff up with the VF34 i bought second hand having the blades rub against the compressor housing (before it was installed) I was told the turbo was fcucked and wouldn't last. So I got my money back!

Long story short, with 24 hours before install time I had to source one. Tried finding something second hand but nothing came up. So in went the brand spanking new IHI VF34 :)

Installed today was

IHI VF34
STI TMIC
Process West CAI
Tune

I was very very happy with my results and the drive the car has, especially for an auto it pulls very hard :)

Picture of new engine bay, cut up the old engine cover for more stealthiness :) will probably try source some more things to stealth everything up a bit!

Looking tidy under there.

What power does it have after the tune?

Cars looking great James! Loving the window down cruising picture.
Looking forward to seeing it in action at the cruise :D

Short fat bit needed to match the CAI, bling STi oil cap be a nice touch too for the engine bay ;)

Small Update :)


Forester 'Sports' Grill is here, have removed the 'forester sports' logo in favor of something else due to arrive in the mail shortly :)

Image

Looks tenfold better than the standard grill in my opinion.

Whiteline 22mm Rear Sway Bar
HD Mounts
and Endlinks also installed :)

Image

Image

And Last but not Least.

Sti Genome Boost Gauge and Controller Unit installed :)

Image

Image

Awaiting Delivery.....



New Brakes/Rotors/Pads via CRUISN

Forester Sports UDSM front bumper

Forester Wide Wheel arch flares (Have ordered these with fingers crossed they look good, if they don't simple, I won't fit)

Thanks for viewing!
