Default C.J 's . WRX Bugeye home brew - Chat thread
This is how it started

And two months in and saying I 'll start the mods next winter !

(7/3/2008)This is what i've been upto this week !

This is the old 16g fan next to the 18g from japan wouldn't fit so !
bit of engineering !

Fits so the housing goes on

Just have to see what happens know !
But i think a new decat down is needed !

(10/03/2007)
All how fitted plus decat up and downs
And its Load
With some luck its mapped on monday
Then the boot can be planted !!!!
and posibly the trousers washed !
(12/03/2007)
Well here you go !

Was hoping for 350 hp which could of been closer if i didnt put BP ultimate in and had put shell optimax !
(16/04/2007)
A little up date !
Not that I modd much
New morrettes lip and side skirts



(19/05/2007)Been to see 2 pump tone today to get the headers and turbo ported
This was quiet time cosuming but very worth will
Raped the headers Nice job
Turbo was a new one on us both stripping it right down and porting it out to hopefully stop the boost creep
But provoked it as much as poss on the way home and all seems well
Once again many thanks to 2 pump tone for a great job

More home made mods
First one is a insert of stainless steel to speed up the spool , seems to have pushed it 350rpm earlier on the rollers and about 500 t0 60 rpm on the road


Second one was getting ride of the tumblers in the inlet manifold



so thats it for the stanard block and the 2.5 is on the books for summertime

Why don't you get rid of the Egt sensor in the up-pipe before it breaks off and fcuk's your turbo

Is it just a case of a ecu re-flash to turn the cel out after the tumbler delete?

i've got no EGT sensor on mine - just used the resistor trick in the socket and i've not had a CEL come on since.

seemed the best option as i've not forked out cash for a remap

Have heard they have a habit of breaking once you run them with a de-cat up-pipe....just a precaution.....saves fcuking the turbo
