I can't wait! my turbo finally came (two months later). It's a Deadbolt TD05-16G. It's going in with my new PE650cc injectors, and a walbro fuel pump. After that's all installed and broken in, it's off to Cobb for a custom pro-tune on the dyno . I will post updates as I go along. I'm throwing everything in on sat. the 29Th and the tune is scheduled for the third of Aug. I'll post a copy of the dyno sheet as well. I'm not looking for big numbers, but something strong and quick for an awesome daily driver that will have a little bit longer life span than a lot of other cars I read about. Maybe now I'll finally be able to beat a Lancer OZ rally edition. Or maybe even an SRT-4.
I needed to break in the turbo. It's kind of ironic. I post this thread last night and this morning I'm on my way to work and the guy ahead of me slams on his breaks so I do, but I was going to hit him so I swerved hit a car in the HOV lane sending me into a Mercedes M class SUV, that flips me one complete time from wheels to wheels totaling my suby. Now how is that for a wonderful day! Funny thing is, the M class that was not too badly damaged had to be pushed off the interstate. after I stopped rolling I didn't realize it but my car was still running, so I turned it off then realized it was running so I turned the key and it fired right up. I tried to move it but the wheels were so messed up it wouldn't move. I walked away sore but, I walked away. Nobody could believe that I walked away without any broken bones or scrapes. When the incident management guys were trying to move it I told them it will run, and they were all "What?! It'll run?!" I said:"Of course! It's a Subaru!". Just be safe out there guys. And to let everybody know I got some used parts selling for CHEAP!!
And this is why I got a Subaru over a used Evo. Safety. This guy has a modified bumper beam because of his FMIC, but I bet his car could out-crash an Evo and he would come out like 5 times better.
Sorry to hear about your accident, hopefully you get enough from insurance to be able to put a good amount down on a new WRX or STI.

I'll try and get somepics of the car tomorrow when I go and take off the exhaust and the other stuff. I'm still in shock that this happened! I miss my suby!
At least I can start looking at STi's now. But I miss my baby.
that really bites the big one, i'm kinf of piqued to the physics of how you rolled...dman asshole drivers. are you going to be found at fault? i can realte to the upside down thing only i went only half a turn.
Yeah. The cop said that I made an "Unsafe lane change" and gave me the citation (bastards). What am I supposed to run into the back of the guy in front of me? If you do, they give you a "Following too close" citation. You're screwed either way.
Wow, that sucks man, glad to hear you're okay. Hopefully the insurance doesn't rape you in the end Since you mention it, I do need a replacement glove compartment box and a single stock WRX rim
