2004 WRX - Shoopster's build (or rather, repair) thread by Shoopster

UPDATE!

The Shoop's just been flashed! Temporary map courtesy of Matty and WTF Tuning LLC because catless downpipe and stock exhaust. So, boost limited to wastegate pressure (7-8 psi) in the hopes of avoiding nasty things like boostcreep (shiver), overboost (yikes) and (gasp!) a lean AFR.

Boyfriend flashed the Shoopster and said, "Oh no!"

me: "WHAT?! What's wrong??!"

"Your warranty is officially f***ed" 

:/

Hopefully the Shoop won't linger in wastegate pressure limbo for too long. 

- I'm hoping to pick up a Borla Hush tomorrow night. 

- Uppipe gaskets + smoke/compression/leakdown tests scheduled for Friday afternoon.

- hoping Matt can get me the wideband o2 to match my current set of gauges,

and then Shoop's very own automatic WTF, the first of its kind I'm sure 

Here's some pix of the downpipe install:

My 2nd busted OEM downpipe in a year. It was beyond loud.

VRRRRROOOOM PSSSH!
