Nolimit: So far here goes.

Garrett GT-3037 turbo (500hp)
PE 800cc injectors
Vishnu fuel rails
Invidia Downpipe
Sti short block

AEM/Autronic EMS ?

Have I overlooked anything besides what I already have in my car?
Very worried about the drivetrain.

I have a personal favorite I'm betting on but Chibby already has his stuff installed just needs to tune. We'll see if I have the ballz (read) intestinal fortitude to outlay Boo Coo $$ without getting divorced.

Yeah, ....... BRAKES!!

... and you're going to need a clutch sometime or another We have 'a line' on stock clutches, ... so maybe you can get by with them for a while. Plus they'll be much "nicer" on the drivetrain.
But figure a grand for a nice clutch/flywheel setup, ... or something like the Exedy Twin disk.

Vishnu Fuel Rails

Rexstang,

These are actually made for the GC8. It will fit on the GDA, but the rails will cause the injectors to spray at an angle.

For brakes, Nino has used Perrin Willwoods frotn and rears for sale.

Do you know if the XS turbo is dual ball bearing?

I saw those brakes in nino's in the vendor section. If I only had 17's, I would jump at them. good price.

BTW, JAy, did you get my PM?

They fit under stock 16 in. rims. Push2 has them installed with stock rims and oldmansan has them with his 16in. SSR rims.

I only have the exedy sport clutch, exedy flywheel, and STi tarnny mount for my tranny set-up. Would you be intersted in buying gears from Gimme Gears with me in the future or do you think a six speed would be a better investment?

I think you have a better chance in hitting 11's before me. Recently, I tallied my spending for my mods and it totalled over 10k dollars and I'm still without rims, brakes, suspension, and gauges!

I am making an effort to slow down a bit. This project was supposed to be a 5 year project, but I somehow got carried away.

11's?!?!

I think many of will just have to live vicariously through you guys. I'd be happy as pig with 12's, but I sure would love to see a Subie hit 11's at HRP. I think the announcer would go nuts!

Does it have to be a bolt on turbo? Would you be interested in having an adapter made which would connect to the uppipe and then have a T3 flange? It would also feature a small stub and flange to mount an external wastegate. Kinda like this piece you see here. The hole is where the pipe and flange for the external 'gate connects.

http://www.hpopower.com/hpo_product_...asp?product=34

The thickness of it would raise the turbo a couple inches so we gotta check the clearance and find a way to brace things. A T3/T4 would give you the widest range of turbos which are all easily serviceable by a number of shops.

After that change the flange on your downpipe. Or even cut your downpipe into two pieces w/ a V-band to connect them and then have a T4 turbine flange and just a single piece of mandrel bent piping to connect. That way you can still swap back in the stock turbo.

I've already talked plenty to him about a t3/t4.

For the sake of costs, buying needed parts that he already has, ... a bolt on turbo was his choice, .............. for now.
