I went to bolt on the turbo which had been sitting on a shelf for a few months. Should have checked it before, but now found that there was some bearing play on the intake compressor side.
Found a company in LA area that does good work according to a few Subaru forums - SoCal Porting. They re going to port the turbo and check and replace any bearings etc that need it.
While its there they will be doing a ceramic coating on the exhaust side.
Hoping they do good work.

Also ordered Stopteck brakes and rotors from Autoanything but they sent me the wrong ones. I have an early 2002, and I got the kit for later 2002. Back to the border to package it up and send it back. Good that Washington state is so close to where I work.

Buying stuff in the US saves some good cash to be use for other options..... like ceramic coating of my stock exhaust manifolds.
I hear the stock system is good for up to 300hp, and I'm worried about clearance below the frame with the other headers. that will be a future upgrade. Anyone find any unequal length headers that don't hang down past the frame?
