Decided on my plan of attack for the engine.

I'm going to sell the GT SPEC clone header I have and instead go with a ported stock manifold. The ported stock manifold will make it easier for me to run an EWG up-pipe in the future since it's two bolt and not the 3 bolt like the GT SPEC has. Also, I'm more confident in the underhood temps being lower with the ported stocker than with the GT SPEC, even coated. This is important because the setup I've chosen to run is:

I plan on using this with a Spearco TMIC. All of the dyno results with that kit that are on that page are with a TurboXS or Spearco TMIC. I'll do the normal stuff to combat heatsoak, but I'm not expecting it to be a big issue, otherwise Jorge wouldn't have used them with his kit.

After looking at dyno sheets of 20gs, DOM3s, FP Greens, and GT30R kits, the spool is all very similar. I know dynos don't do a great job of showing spool in transient boost response but the GT30R has a ball-bearing center journal which should make up for it. The TMIC will also help with spool over a FMIC with the long tubing required to make one work on a Subaru.

That flat powercurve is showing that it's the perfect match to the motor. I'm very impressed with their results with the kit, and the price is nice too.

Now I need to buy a clutch/flywheel/cf driveshaft/injectors/Spearco and save up for the kit.

First step is to get retuned with what I have now and a ported manifold to hold the car over until it gets transformed again.

Oh, expect pics with the new wheels on the car today too.
