  1.  
    also use locktite when doing ur bolts and nuts up and u need to re seal the gaskets with orange sealer.

    Just politely, **** you if you have ever worked on the car that i own now :P some of those bolts you dont have much access to... and locktite would kill me.

    put coppercoat on exhaust studs/bolts... if you ever want to get undone again.

  2. 6-7pound on remapped ecu is pretty common.

    i say do it - then if it breaks, fix it with bigger and better :D

    Head gasket easy fix. Especially if ur mechanical enough to make own turbo setup.

    250t headers will bolt directly to subaru turbo uppipe.

    250t is same body as GTB, so will have clearance for downpipe.

    if you got a turbo, mounts, TMIC from a wrx/older legacy - should pop straight on.

    maaaaay need a new gearbox xmember, actually... no... the stock exhaust goes roughly where the turbo downpipe goes anyway

    the biggest issue will be oil/water feed/return, not sure if the 250t heads have provisions for them... they are probably there, just need drilling/tapping.

    and then youll need an a/m ecu.

    if you want a stock sti downpipe (ex sti type r), i have one in tauranga...

  3. no id even needed to be shown.

    all u need is a cc and a licence, and u can transfer it. so technically a dodgy car rental company employee could screw u over. (most take copy of licence, and swipe card onto a cc chit). wouldnt take much for employee to quickly note verification number of card.

  4. This is what i mean about everyone saying the tried and true line, in this case single turbo.

    Its not a huge cost, a single turbo is by far more reliable (anyone who has had a play with the code 66 will attest *shudder*)

    As ryan said, look for reubens thread.

    rage pipes, in the day cost me $450, not sure on prices now. Just 2x 2.5" mild steel downpipes. www.rage.co.nz

    zerosports sequential controller - search CS, bigass thread here somewhere. www.41.co.nz

    Generally - the Bilsteins will handle pretty well, and will be good on the ride comfort.

  5. take it easy chap, most of us are here to help, and many of us have trodden this road before.

    Getting power out of a TT is like squeezing water from a stone, like money from a tax collector, like boys from micheals hand....

    Pretty much there is a limit that you can get to easily. From there, the next logical step is to drop a single turbo onto it.

    Things to do/look at to get to this first turning point from stuff you already done

    Make sure AFM is braced!

    Walbro - insurance

    Rage downpipes (HUGE difference), may need custom y-pipe. - Best bang for buck

    Zerosports sequential controller - heard good things

    Apexi AVC-R - def a good thing

    After that - you only really have the little things left, like brakes/looks etc. Unless you want to really start getting reamed over prices, where a single turbo will be by far the best choice, as tuning/finding aftermarket ecu's etc is not going to happen.

    Nevertheless, CS is full of people doing 'the unique thing' just because they dont want to follow the proven track for speed, if that floats your boat, go with it, just dont get snarky when people suggest otherwise. There is a reason they are suggesting that, and its NOT because they want to make you miserable/wind you up, its because it WORKS.

    Also. Numbers generally are only for show ponies. The major difference is how it drives/feels. For example. im putting some equal length headers onto my car. This will likely reduce my overall power, but has a huge increase midrange. Much more useful for pulling out of a corner, than the 10kw at 7500rpm.
