Hey Ed, can you suggest some mods that would help out with engine longevity? Specifically, for a car that would see a lot of track days.
My car has a downpipe and catback with an AP tune done by you. My ultimate goal for the car is to upgrade the turbo with a focus on more top end. I don't have a particular horsepower number in mind.

As far as turbo's, I would recommend going with a VF series. It's a simple and cheap upgrade that will give you roughly 50whp and still be within safe range for the engine. If you want to track the car with more power than that and be confident in the engine, I generally recommend upgrading the internals.
Thanks

Actually, when he said you had 93k on it and been running a 20 g for over 3 years, I was impressed! Can you feel the extra power or having it to do again would you have gone with the bigger turbo you were talking about a while back?

when the rebuild happens ill go with a stock location 30r or equal. ill stick with blouch ,simply because my current 20g is holding up great.

I'd enjoy seeing the two graphs to see the difference through out the power band, It's amazing how much 10hp can make a different when tuned for pure performance. I'm going to go with a stock location 30r too here real soon, should be picking it up this next week.

Just finished tuning an 05 STI with ATP GT35r using Cobb's new speed density software. The hybrid MAF/SD mode is simply amazing! This is by far the best SD implementation I've seen on any platform. I'm very excited to continue to use this software on bigger projects. This also means there is no longer a need for large MAF housings that can cause drivability and idle issues.
Thanks
