Hey Guys , Names my names Ryan , im form hobart way , thought id share my little project with you guys , been quiet a journey so far:)

Well The cars a MY02 B4 , Purchased from maitland NSW round June 11'

as the story goes , had a Stage 2 MRT ecutek tune on the stock setup , after the 1000km plus drive to hobart i noticed the car to have an ever so slight rocking, at cruise. and after a quick log session 10psi was as much as i could get from her,

after a few months of argueing with brett from MRT about his hopeless ECULOCK tune, i spat it and went on the single turbo conversion journey.

here are some pics of the car befor the molestation starts.

Blacked out alternator! I wants it!! How hard are they to pull apart?

Walbro is noisy isnt it lol...how much works required to fit the stealth fx??

And also ive been looking into a full parallel rail setup and putting in a wrx fuel filter aswell for extra safety ill have to check them out, did you get the filter oem from subaru?

And that sump? What is it? Ive been looking at a killerb sump and baffle with the ultimate pickup, but cant justify it at this moment as i already have the good twin scroll sump
