Soobscriot, what kind of power was/is that thing making? And what in the hey-diddle-diddle is a "turbo P&P"?

 

I believe he is referring to a "port and polish" which would, correct me if I'm wrong, include enlarging the ports and polishing them

I have no idea of power... probably about stock. (1 & 3 have low compression from leaky rings)

Pulls like a mutha though. Redlines are fun. :headbang:

 

I ported and polished the "hot" (exhaust) side of the turbo. Smoothed out size transitions and cleaned up 230K miles of crud.

Thanx for the pictures and mods list everyone!

 

Subaru Styles: Your RX Wagon isn't silverish by any chance with a wrx scoop, thule rack, black (I think) wheels, and few other wrx parts on it is it?

 

Caboobaroo: I've seen your car on cardomain, haha.

 

TheSubaruJunkie: I've seen your car on cardomain too.

 

DrKrazy: You have a PM coming in about 32 seconds.

 

I've decided I want one...:rolleyes: The chances of that happening though...:(

Yeah, Brad's RX wagon is a bluish silver color or something like that. Seen it in person and its badass... even when I had to help him push it to the DB drags at WCSS6:grin:
