i dont think its been weighed yet. Still no word, hoping for a call sometime this morning. Could be good or bad news (bad news being a blown g-box
really) but im ready for that  Not sure what my wife will think
though...see what happens.
I'll see the car nonetheless this arvo, if im really lucky ill get to take it for a little spin.

Should be making more than 130kw/174hp even on 6psi. Your later model STI engine will be more efficient than my 94 model wrx engine & I have
152kw/204hp on 8psi. 215ft pounds of tourque. Even if u run wastegate pressure as I do, I think from memory that 12psi is wastegate pressure on the
STI late model turbo's
How much timing & fuel is in it? They fall over with more than 29d timing & my sweet spot for fuel is 12.0:1 on boost. Stock rexy come from
the factory with 10.0:1 & less.
Your car will be lighter than my 1020kilo fatso Mick, so the 58 will smell from the poo in your pants.
U have so may variables, inlet temps, flow from the aftermarket intercooler, dump pipe design & air inlet design. Header mods etc.
I took my dyno man for a drive the other day (he got his cape caught in the door) we were just putting around & I got into it, he was looking
everywhere for a grab handle LOL. he said he wasn't expecting anything like that & now understood why I didin't want to turn the boost up &
why i was happy with 204hp @ the wheels. He reckons that it would put his R33 Skyline to shame & it runs mid 12s. To impress someone that builds
twin turbo v8's for aliving u know u have something special.
Prepare to be dazzled Mick, your jaw will be sore from smiling too
When are we going to WSID?

hmmm...200kph club. In a 58 beetle. Hmmm, may take a little while yet to get the confidence.
I saw Dyno man yesterday afternoon and it was still early days on the tune. They wanted to tweak things a fair bit more. They'd only done the one
power run as mentioned above at 130kw. Theres a whole bunch of stuff they need to set and adjust and also tune out of the factory ECU to get it all
working properly. Hopefully hear something back soon!
Also, 3mnths out of rego is next Wednesday - so i'm really keen to get it registered and engineered by then, that way i can avoid the extra costs and
hassles associated with an unregistered car. See what happens i guess.
i didn't get to hear it running on the dyno but it looked the business sitting on the dyno. Lets see if it can produce it.

Hi Mick
Don't worry about the rego as it has to be blue slipped anyway so you get a full 12 months rego.. So you need to just put your number plates on hold
if you want to keep them. Otherwise you will have to hand them in and than reorder them which will cost you more.
So close.

Hi Mick
Bet your like a kid the night before Christmas. Don't you know anybody that can fix the rego, wink wink. Don't hand your plates in, if your not
already you have to pay a yearly fee.

I've been told not to use anything but the Subaru stuff. $16 isn't dear for what it does, besides, the local Subaru outlet give it to me trade price
cause they love my car LOL
Yes it does work, it's amazing stuff. The difference afterwards is very noticable. I know mine needs when it starts to get the slightest bit of lumpy
idle. it drives sooo much better after using it. U won't use it very much if your car is just a weekend toy, maybe once a year. I use it more than
that though.

if its the cleaner I get from Subaru, you spray it in a inlet manifld vacuum hose as per instruction on the can
it appears to work.

It gets rid of carbon build up Dave, in the combustion chambers, piston tops valves etc. Apparently porsche & subaru suffer from this the most
because of the falt 4/6 configuration. I always wondered if u could use it in the beetle engine?.
U warm the engine up to operating temp, turn it off, spray half the can in, let it sit for 10 minutes, start it up, it's hard to start, take off the
same vacuum line & spray the rest of the can in whilst holding the throttle open so it doesn't stall. The more white smoke that pours from the
exhaust the better. Seat of the pants difference is instantly noticable.

Jak

Hi Mick
My motor is from an Aussie delivered STI but about the same vintage, it uses a VF30.
I think Subarus need to use the cleaner because of the low spots in the intake manifold.
