Default Just bought a scooby

Maybe some of you know who's car this is, dealer told me it was a local VW tech that traded it to get a new 08 white STI.

Its a 06 sti, sti front lip and I believe what is called the "limited" rear spoiler instead of the normal one. Its on cobb springs (which Im now considering replacing seeing as its kissed the bump stops already a few times over a few bumps that I dont think are that severe) It has a borla exhaust, havent measured it yet to see what size and I think it has a DP because its wrapped in heat wrap but I havent gotten a chance to look at other peeps engine bays to tell what it is. Blue sway bars front and rear, Idk if there cobbs or cuscos cuz again I havent gotten under it yet. I believe it has white line end links for the front sway bar and it appears that the front subframe has been lowered/spaced, has some gold washers.

Anywayz here are some pics, like to know when yall are doing a meet so I can meet and learn some more about the car, Ive had it for 3 days and loved it so far.

Pixor'z, from the dealer website Ill be taking some tonight when I go out.

LoL, yea, jimmy at the dealer is the one that took care of me, pretty good and quick to take care of something if I needed it. It came with a cobb access port and so I am told was tuned by scott siegel. Im still a bit skeptical of that but we'll see. It came with a dyno sheet in the book that reads 314hp and 342tq. Ive been researching for tuned dynographs and havent really came across one that reflected similar mods to what my car has on it. The OBD2 adapter was missing for the accessport though so there calling cobb and getting me one ordered so that I can use it, it does work thought cuz I plugged it into my computer today and it came on.

I went to orlando today and while I was there stopped by the dealer and ordered the boost gauge kit that mounts to the column. I want to know what boost this thing is hitting and doing before I go to the track or do something like that with it.

What HP/TQ should a stock STI be putting down and what do they normally boost at, like 1bar or so?

How much did they charge you for the OEM Boost Gauge?? I ask because you can land them cheap on ebay and NASIOC. I know I sold mine in mint condition for like 35.00
