Turbo XS Catted Downpipe
Side-by-side cat comparison:
Notice the restricted inlet shape of the OEM cat: Issues*: 1. I could not re-install a heat-shield that protects the water pump and drive belt. The new cat is bigger than stock. 2. The front lambda sensor harness was too short, so AFR sensor 1 would NOT reach the bung on the Turbo XS cat. *I sent Turbo XS an email and a voice message, they never responded to either of these issues.

Don't think the pictures quite worked on that last one. There they are.
Cool car though. I feel like I don't often see white mud flaps on the white car but i like it. What did you end up doing with the afr sensor that wouldn't install on the new cat? |

Turbo XS Downpipe with short O2 Sensor
Quote:
I disconnected the O2 connector from its bracket and zipped tied it for now. The wiring is too taut. I will be addressing this in the Spring along with the custom Heat-Shied to protect the water pump and drive belt. I will either find a sensor with a longer pig tail, or just solder in wire to extend the connector properly. Removed Heat Shield & Zip Tie: Last edited by De36; 02-10-2019 at 10:57 PM. |

Custom Adjustable Rear Endlinks
The key features here are the over sized heim joints w/ seals to protect against the weather.
Also the lower-sleeves for proper hole placement. |

Perrin AOS
Waiting on a warm day to install
Install Update: I waited to do this install until I performed the Walnut Blast + Stage 3 to ensure fitment. An AOS combined with a EGR-Delete is a must to reduce/eliminate carbon build up on valves because of the direct injection. Impression: AOS's like this are expensive & time consuming install jobs. 3/5 install difficultly. The benefits of not having to empty this (unlike a catch-can) out weigh the price. It's a little nerve racking cutting the hoses to length know you only get one shot. Perrin's quality is amazing. Notes: You will need coolant to properly bleed the system, this would be a good time to do a coolant flush (2 gallons) and some Water Wetter. I purchased crimp-hose-clamps for a cleaner install https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....L._SL1500_.jpg 2017+ slightly different (and easier) install than 2015-2016 MY.

Subi Bros Walnut Blast Kit
Mileage: 30k Without an AOS & EGR-Deletes a walnut-blast cleaning would need to be completed every 15k-30k miles. I completed the walnut blasting using the recommended Harbor Freight Blaster with 30,000 miles on my car. The Blaster: The HF-Blaster was temperamental and would not consistently blast. I returned it and got a new one and it acted the same. It is important to have a 1hp (or more) air-compressor that can hold 110-120 PSI consistently. It worked pretty fast and cleaned large areas quickly. The SB Adapter: Fit and worked well, but walnuts still escaped. I purchased the shop-vac reducer at Home Depot for $9. The driver side was more difficult to maneuver. Carb Cleaner w/ Gun-Barrel Brush: The HF-Blaster did not remove the thick build up on the valves (see images below). I purchased a 22 caliber gun-barrel brush @ Cabelas and performed a Soak & Scrub w/ carb cleaner. My Method: 1. Walnut Blast 2. Soak & Scrub 3. Walnut Blast 4. Soak & Scrub Overall Impression/ Results: It took a little improvisation and a lot of patients, but I am happy with the results. I never suggest reusing fluids (coolant, oil, etc.) or gaskets. I spent ~$150 in gasket and new coolant (2 gallons). The difficulty to the average person I would say is a 4 out of 5. For a technician this is a 2 out of 5. Walnut shells go every where and can do a lot of damage if they are not removed. Subi-Bros sell an 1/4" NPT Adapter sold separately that is a must have to attach this kit to the HF-Baster. Do not for get to order this!!! Setup w/ Shop-Vac Reducer: Pre Walnut Blast: Post Walnut Blast*: *I forgot to take an image after I performed the Soak & Scrub. But the valves came out very clean in the end. ___ Last edited by De36; 04-24-2020 at 01:43 PM. |

Perrin TGV Delete & Torque Solution EGR Delete
Perrin TGV Delete:
Easy Install. Great quality. I do suggest replacing the gaskets. TS EGR Delete: I completed this install with the Walnut-Blast and the intake manifold off which made for an easy install. TS makes great products. The kit doesn't come with the EGR-to-Intake Manifold gasket, I suggest replacing this gasket. The lower plate sees a lot of heat and water, they rust quite quickly. I also suggest replacing these nuts w/ anti-seize (I went a little heavy with the anti-seize). You will need coolant to properly bleed the system. |

Perrin Charge Pipe and Process West Khanacooler
Perrin Charge Pipe:
Aligning the lower coupler required patients. The BOV is tricky to align and clamp down. Great quality. Process West Khanacooler: PW makes great quality products. Having a slight fitment issue that I am working through w/ PW. The OEM look is what attracts me to the Khanacooler. Last edited by De36; 04-12-2019 at 04:40 PM. |

HKS Legamax, Cobb CAI, and Re-tuned
Although I love the Greddy RS-Race CB it was too loud at 101dB. The HKS is a 3" catback without the noise. And the quality is outstanding.
Stock: 85dB Greddy RS-Race: 101dB Greddy RS-Race w/ Scilencer: 96dB HKS:86dB Greddy vs HKS Cobb CAI: Retuned*: 286 whp 296 ftlb *(added HKS Legamax & Cobb CAI) Last edited by De36; 02-01-2020 at 02:59 PM. |

Palmer Motorsports Park 9/25/2019
A few pics from my final trackday last year with the HKS Exhaust & Cobb CAI. Very happy with the car so far.
The brakes over heated by the end of the day and had a scare into turn 1. I am currently on StopTech Slotted rotors and Hawk 5.0 pads. The StopTech rotors are great and have not warped the entire season, highly recommend. The 5.0 pads faded a little too easy. So the next upradges: BBK w/ Hawk Blue Pads & 200AA tires. Coming onto the front straight (all alone) Chasing down a fellow WRX #Mopowababy Chasing down a BRZ last lap of the day with brake fade Last edited by De36; 01-27-2020 at 08:06 PM. |
