Pulled off all the doorcards on the wagon to measure up replacement speakers since the ones in there are damaged and sound terrible. Turns out the front left speaker has been replaced with a random pioneer and the rest are still the factory kenwood units. Not sure why someone replaces just one speaker haha. Ordered a new head unit, front tweeters plus front and rear speakers. Can't wait to have decent sound again.

with the e85 side of things you'll def want to get flex fuel sensor so that at any moment there can be different mixtures of e85 / unleaded 98 and it'll auto adjust to run fine. get this sorted before your tune so you only have to do it once. not sure what area you're in but make sure your local tuner is comfortable to perform this tune on carberry rom on your stock ecu otherwise you need to travel bit further to find someone who is comfortable with that, or get the tuners ecu of choice which means factoring in more $$ for that aimed power level you're definitely gonna need bigger injectors. id 1050x for 98 and potentially id1300s for e85 (check with your tuner what he recommends, i'm not sure the limit of id1050 but it seemed to run just fine for me at 240ish wkw on 98 with plenty duty cycle left) yes go top mount for sure. i got an hdi kit which fit in quite well, allowed me to keep the stock fog lights not that i really use them but i just like the way they look lol. more importantly it's of pretty high quality with super efficient core. you will have much less worries about heat soak when you start pushing high boost etc. with front mount also. td05 will acheive your power but you should really consider the more modern turbo ranges. i know theres a bit of a price difference but modern turbochargers with their advanced technology will deliver better power levels more efficiently and more importantly the boost curve will be more sexier (as in you won't have near as much lag during daily driving scenarios) you will need to change to an ethanol compatible fuel pump depending on how much boost you will run, you may need new map sensor but check with your tuner. shouldnt need new maf sensor since will probably run speed density but again best said by the person tuning it. recommend you to check some of the 'optional' mods also when you start pushing higher power levels, such as : oil cooler, oil catch can, split fuel rails shopping list : turbo injectors flex fuel sensor fuel pump ethanol compatible fuel lines to replace the factory rubber stuff. if you already have replaced with fuel lines make sure they are ethanol compatible front mount kit w/piping labour to install above maybe map & maf sensors

I have a twisted turbo setup for sale, made 268wkw on my car with a top-mount intercooler. Would probably do it for $1700 with the wastegate.

The problem with aftermarket headers is the material used is most of them are made from 304 steel, which when heat wrapped, as you will have to, will overheat and develop cracks/leak. A step-up from this would be the 321 steel, which is bit more tolerant.

V7 STI block is a bit tougher. I drove mine for 3 years at 268 and it's still happy as, gonna be pushing for more soon too.

I only have 800cc injectors and running over 300kw rich as, no problem.. that's with bp98. Definitely will go to e85 at some point, but not power limited at the moment... courage limited.

I make 300wkw on decapped pink injectors (~850cc) with e40. If my mix goes above e40 the ecu reduces power. A Flex fuel sensor is about $100-150 if you buy the unbranded Continental sensor (GM). Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

imo, I wouldn't waste money on a td05/06 for 20-30wkw gains. Budget for a EFR Borgwarner they are the absolutely tits. There is simply nothing better at this current time. 800-1200cc injectors Link g4 Flex fuel +85 Although worth noting on a stock block pushing past where you are at now is risky imo. Wouldn't wanna go much higher than 230-240. People have/do , but longevity becomes a thing.

Old? Wrights Hill Fortress. Not sure, can't see Subru's photos anymore.

Title kind of sums it up
