AWDkid's WrsX :)
 
Story
In Janurary of 2009 i was first introduced to Subaru's. My 1st ever car was a Pontiac G5 an just two months after buying it i wrecked and totaled it in the snow. I knew nothing about cars at the time and just wanted a AWD car so i was safe in different weather conditions. So i found what was called a subaru 2.5rs on auto-locator. Noing nothing about subaru's i bought it cuz i liked the scoop :mamoru: It was a 2000 BRP RS http://www.rs25.com/forums/f145/t106125-my-2000-rs.html I learned about the car inside and out due to friends and mostly this forum. I had a real fun time with it but it was Auto an i hated that and it was starting to go downhill. I enjoyed it alot though an it brought me to this forum and nasioc and taught me a lot about Subarus which in all honesty i dont think i will ever buy anything but. i modded it pretty good for my 1st tuner car you could say. I am still learning a lot to this day, espcially about the turbo EJ engines. I knew my 00 was starting to get boring with(driving wise) and i wanted some power an a manual car because i love manuel cars. So looking for about 3 months i found this car. A 2001 White WrsX. It was in NJ and i went down and picked it up with no 2nd guess. I was so happy with it :) but..4 days after i got it 2nd gear in the stock RS tranny blew. I had it hauled down to Agile Auto in NJ where a got a 4800 transmission rebuild Ya it was expensive but worth it because the gears are full out racing gears. They are the Albins gearset/Helix gears. Since than nothing has gone wrong and im still modding it as i go.

Bought this and injectors too!

GFB stealth BOV







This BOV from what i read is awesome you can set it to any ratio unluck other hybrids where there 50/50. Also it has a spring to loosen and tighten the sound if you want a quick blow off or a mild and slower blowoff!! Im gonna run it 70/30



So ive been working on my build and been pricing out turbos. Ive been looking for 18g's or maybe 20'g. I was afraid of the lag tho on my 2 liter so i was looking for more of a 18g. There was a option in my head that if i could find a 20g with a small housing then that could work too cuz i talk to Hill who is gonna tune my car at Agile Auto and he said if i found a fairly small 20g he could get it to full spool by 3900 which i thought was really really good cuz now with my VF23 and front mount lag i full spool at 3400 so there's not much different. So looking one day on nasioc i came across a good deal... So guys what you think?

MHI TD05 20g



























It was a pretty good deal $650 Shipped... So now the parts that im trying to source for the build is accessport, protune, spearco top mount, and maybe STI cams and TGV deletes
