Didn't plan on owning another turbo Subaru anytime soon, but was given the opportunity to get one for cheap, so here it is!
Unfortunately the engine was toast, so after doing some searching I found a good engine on ebay through a reputable vendor.
This is after I pulled the ac compressor, alternator, and power steering pump off the new engine.
Unfortunately the oil feed line was broken when it got here, so I had to swap that out, but they did give me a small refund to cover that.
After I swapped that out, I installed a new catless up pipe because I had one, and ended up getting a great deal on a brand new VF48 turbo, that I couldn't pass up, so that went on as well, along with a 2015 STi BPV, and an STi return hose. Also put new plugs in before dropping it in as well.
And here it is all installed with a 2015 STi intercooler
Seems to run great. I put an obx bellmouth downpipe, and it'll be getting some parts from my old XT pretty soon too!
For now, it'll run a COBB ots tune, but I'll most likely get it protuned next year.
This week I'll be installing wrx suspension to replace the broken suspension that's on it, as well as a set of wheels.
