  1. I'm running a tial 38mm gate, I think the problem was my turbo as we flushed the radiator and all this gunk came out, I'm guessing the turbo is cooked.
  2. I think I have the same problem, as in when it hits boost it's not smooth/makes a hissing noise, also running a vf22. I'm running a link g4, 3 port boost solenoid. ATM I think the turbo is stuffed so just looking for a replacement VF22.
  3. How much power was yours making?, Do you think with my setup and power it will collapse?
  4. I am looking to install a silicone intake pipe on my car that is currently running a vf22, tuned with a link g4 to about 18 - 20 psi of boost. So i'm guessing it will be making around 200kwatw. Has anyone had any experience with a cheaper brand such as M & H? or the brand Redline Performance stocks? Even an Ebay one? Is it worth lashing out on a brand like Samco? Given that I am not aiming for 300kw+. Cheers for any advice.
  5. Thanks for your help evowrx.
  6. Just wanted to get other peoples opinions of if it was worthwhile. Thanks tho
  7. I was just using what evowrx said in his thread 'How to get power out of your WRX/STI'
  8. Hey guys, I currently own a version 4 STI, i have done most of the bolt on mods, Exhaust, Front mount, intake, MBC, EWG, etc and am currently contemplating whether it is worth investing in a Link G4 ECU, getting injectors, fuel pump and tune. Since stock GC8 blocks are only able to withstand about 220kw to 240kw is it a worthwhile investment on the ECU, Injectors and Tune? Im guessing it will cost anywhere from $3000 to $5000 for a decent job. Is that amount of money worth the extra 50kw or so? Or should i just save up my funds into investing a later model Suby or even an evo if i am after more power. Thanks in advance.
  9. Cheers, Whats everyone thoughts on SSI headers?
  10. Do the Syms headers have 'Syms" stamped on them?
  11. just asked someone selling their wrx that had one, if he wanted to swap with standard headers
  12. How much should i expect to pay for 2nd hand Syms headers? I found some for $500. Is that price reasonable?
  13. I would gladly take them off your hands, but i have a GC8.
  14. So would getting a chinese knockoff headers cut it? Or would it be a worthwhile investment spending the extra money on Genuine Syms or any other top quality brands like Tomei? or possibly custom made headers?
  15. So what's the deal on them, to be honest i quite like the sound of it. Heard a lot of mixed opinions on them. Apparently they allow you to have better top end power? What are your thoughts? Cheers
  16. Hey guys in desperate need of help please. My 1998 wrx version 4 sti, is making a weird knocking noise. It sounds as if its coming from the gearbox part of the car. It happens when im driving and i take my foot off the gas. When i let it cruise, there's this weird knocking noise and it gets worse when im slowing right down to stop. I find that the sound intensifies as i put my foot down on the clutch. The noise quitens when i apply the breaks and no noise when i accelerate. Have recently got my gearbox replaced as i thought that was the problem but the sound is still there. It started happening when i left my car for about a week and i drove it again, i gave it abit of a thrash, so dumping gears etc and it all started from there. Please help, Thanks, Tim

  19. Hey was just wandering if i need to buy any conversion kit to put blue xenon bulbs in my crystal clear headlights on a gc8. Or do i just buy the bulbs and put them in?
