Hello All!

[Half Crazed]

Hi all, name's Rob. I drive an 08 WRB Built STi.

I'm not new to the area, but new to this forum.

I also created the "Petition the NH Tint Law" with over 1200 signers so far!

I'm also in a vote off on Exeter Subaru's website... vote for me! You can also find me on GSS and NASIOC.

(can't post links yet).

Anyways, here's my car! I have some big plans coming soon hopefully to reach my 400-450whp goals!













See ya on the road..

If it wasn't a built STI it would just be parts right..lol

J/k man, welcome to the site. I'm Shawn @nemotorsport on FB.

[barkz]

Its always interesting to see new members that join for the cruise then just disappear lol. Then theres people like me that never go on the cruises

I have some goal in mind of 400-500whp

[Boosted Euro]

Nice, that turbo is very similar to my FP Green but mine is only journal bearing. I'd guess your be close to 400 wheel unless your going meth or e85.

How do you like that FP? I've heard good things about it (except the journal bearing).. And yea, I said 400-500 because I've been hearing so many numbers thrown out there! But in all honesty, that's still a #!#!#!#!load of power I'm excited.

[Boosted Euro]

I'm pretty happy with it. I got a pretty good deal on it . I wasnt looking for a turbo that big but my 20g didn't pan out and I was desperate for a turbo. It's not a fun stop light to stop light car but merging onto the highway isn't a problem..lol

You get the Dom 3.0xt-r?

Did you go with the 8 or 10cm hotside?
Stock or 3inch inlet?

Mine is 8cm but has the 3in inlet instead of the stock 2.5 which did cause some issues when installing. But it sounds awesome spoiling through the hard inlet.

I'm sure you'll be happy with the power. 90% of the time I drive around at 15psi and is plenty fast enough for normal daily driving.

[Half Crazed]

Yup! It's the 10cm hotside with 3" inlet. Should be awesome for high RPM flow as well
