javasti's sz49 completion status - COMPLETED

The SZ49 install is a success. The car was completed on Friday, but I ran into a few complications with coolant leaks. The coolant feed and return lines were both leaking. I purchased new clamps for both and no more leaks.

To get it running, I purchased an HKS downpipe with the straight 3-inch, no bellmouth. The wastegate fits without issue.

Current mod list:

HKS 3" Downpipe
HKS Carbon-Ti Catback
Perrin BIGMAF short-ram intake
Perrin Light-weight crank pulley
EcuTek reflash by TopSpeed
TurboXS front mount intercooler
Perrin modified injectors; 816cc
SZ49 turbo
Ultimate racing uppipe w/ tial 38mm wastegate
Perrin EBCS
Denso 1-step colder iridium spark plugs
Walbro 255 lph fuel pump
Kartboy Short-shifter and bushings
Whiteline Steering rack bushings
Whiteline Anti-lift kit
Whiteline Rear differential bushings
Cusco catch can
JDM STi tranny mount
JDM STi pitch stop mount
JDM STi pink springs
Kartboy exhaust hangers

if you are going with an avc-r, the ebcs is not needed. the avc-r comes with its own solenoid.

i agree with dave, i wouldnt bother. you can get an avc-r brand new from ebay for $399. avc-r should be near the top off the list. you gain so much by it. without the avc-r you wont be able to full boost till 3rd gear.
