Alright been while since i updated on The Wagon from Hell project so here it is
My goal is to get the car running by the first week of September, just in time for the MWSOC (Mid West Subaru Owners Club) Subaru Shootout in Bryon, IL. Pretty much close to over 1500 subaru gather in one spot and have tons of fun. This is my goal....i'm not sure if ill make the deadline but i guess we will see
Picked up my suspension/ coilovers yesterday, HKS Hipermax v3's. The only thing i don't like about them is there is not camber adjustment on the plates, so i'm going to upgrade them with a set of HVT non-lowering camber plates in the front and a set of either Vorshlag or Cusco rear camber plates in the rear
The turbo setup changed yet again....i actually have the turbo right now in a box sitting in my room. Its a GT3076r, i'm going to be sending it to Forced Performance and have them modify it and make it a HTA GT3082r. Pretty much they take the stock cast 76mm compressor wheel and put a billet 82mm compressor wheel and put the matching compressor side cover. For the turbine housing i'm using a Garrett twin scroll with a .82 A/R, this with the motor setup i'm doing (which is still top secret)...the car is going to be just plain evil
Ok, now for some personal. I've applied to Northern Illinois University (NIU) and with pursuing a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. I honestly never thought i would be excited to go to school again. As i hated school 10yrs ago

Sounds like you have a lot of expertise in your project. Good luck from a fellow Subie owner that wishes I had the time and money to make mine Stage III. Currently running a Cosworth Cold Air Intake, Invidia downpipe, Full 3" exhaust with a four tip Magnaflow muffler, and the car was dyno tuned by Goodspeed Perfomance labs with a COBB V2 tuning module. Happy driving my friend from one owner to another I love my commutes!
