why a wagon? also, be careful: after installing a TBE and intake, i was running VERY lean. around 12.2:1 or so at full boost, 3rd gear, 7k rpm. NOT good. if you find you have that issue, i can fix it for ya. cheap.
also, 1.1 BAR is higher than stock. is it tuned?

Not "tuned" just ecu flashed. when i bought the car it had a turboback on it but was just on a stock map. then my brother decided to flash a basic stg 2 map on it. next time i drive it i'll watch ir around that rpm/gear. i'll post about it and let you know. thanks for the heads up.

I have all the tuning software, if you want to take a look and see what you have in there.

I still have a Cobb Access Port laying around from when I had my Bugeye

can't say that I'm a fan of wagons but I can always appreciate something that the majority of the people do not own. BTW is one of your foglights broken?

My take on an OTS stage 2 flash:
My brother in law had an 03 WRX with a full turboback and was running a stage 2 XPT map for quite a long time and overtime it 'caused his engine to go kaboom. So I encourage everyone to get a real tune instead of XPT map if you want your engine to last!

i think "sleeper" may have went out with the addition of the CF hood. those kinda stand out, ya know?

just color match it to the body. BOOM back to sleeper status.

Isn't your hood aluminum too? would it really be worth the cost to save 1-2 lbs?

Subject: Re: Bugeye waggin. Wed Nov 02, 2011 10:09 pm

the thing is, i wanted to try the "black" carbon fiber hood on. mostly for looks. but i dislike the fitment. but idk. i guess i'll run it for a while.
