Mir gehts gut, ich hoffe dir auch !
I don't do the mapping by myself.
Maptec has a great name in Switzerland for engine optimization.
They have many experience in motorsport (Porsche Team Mecanic, engine and data engineer TCR Europe, over 13 years of experience in engine development and tuning). So, i will bring my car to them, when the build is done.


Engine:
- COBB 1050x Injectors
- Deatschwerks DW300 Fuel Pump
- IHI VF49 TwinScroll Turbo
- 300cell catalyzed downpipe (needed to be street legal in Switzerland)
- 3" Aluminium inlet pipe
- 3-port Boost solenoid from Fuji Racing
- TwinScroll Oil pan with RCM dampened oil pickup and baffle plate
- Grimmspeed 8mm Thermo Spacers
- GR STI Intercooler with self made shroud (under construction)

Wheel / alignment:
- Whiteline 24mm rear swaybar with mounts and endlinks
- Tanabe 21mm front sway bar with witheline endlinks
- STI v7 Lateral link bars with PU bushings

I've never heard of a VF49 Twin scroll? I know of the VF37 and VF36 (which is what I have)

https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/sho....php?t=1141476


BTW Love your car and color. I wish more WRX's came in red. I think I would have picked it over WRB if given the chance.


Edit: Just did a some Googlefu and found some info on the VF49's. I had never heard of it before, but yet it's been out there for a long time. Really neat. Makes your car that much more unique!

The VF49 are installed on de GR STI (JDM 2.0L Version). It's simmilar to the VF37 but the compressor side intake diameter is some milimeters wider.

Slowly goes forward with the build





The COBB 1050x Injectors are in

Did you make the Defi control housing or was it purchased from somewhere? Looks really nice!

My dusty red thing in the shed, slowly looks like a car again.

Interior is nearly finished now, and its back on its own wheels.
Just need the new steering wheel from japan.





Bought me a Spec C roof vent, new out of the box
