FWIW when tracking I remove my ABS fuse and utilize threshold braking. However I'm not comfortable relying on threshold braking in DD. In fact, IMO the stock master cylinder isn't very well matched to my BBK, which makes threshold braking more difficult to initiate and control. One of these days I'll switch to a larger capacity master cylinder... I've yet to confirm if the STi MC is an upgrade...

1 month until the tune! Somehow I have to install all the parts without having my car down for too long... hopefully nothing goes wrong!

The Time crunch as begun! Tonight I am installing the fuel pump; I'm going to attempt the injectors on Wednesday. That leaves the Turbo install for the weekend. CAI and 3-port are an easy install, so I'll do those whenever.


I don't expect my clutch to hold, so I'll be installing a clutch at some point soon. I'm just hoping  that my clutch will hold through the tune.


I'll be hitting 100K miles very soon (currently at 99.5K miles)... on the OE clutch!! Then there will be the timing belt/water pump...


Fuel pump is in!


The back is all torn out! All I can say is -- Thank god I have a wagon




The fuel pump assy




The pump is out! I used up most of my fuel (fuel light was on) to keep it as clean as possible




Stock fuel pump assy.





The Walbro pump is easily larger, but....




The stock fuel filter is much larger
