TGV Deletes, Intake & EBCS

After being satisfied with the exhaust for a month or two, I figured it was time to expand the horizons a bit to get closer to getting max power out of the stock longblock and turbo. I got my TGV deletes from TiC, Intake from ETS, and 3-port EBCS from GrimmSpeed. Shipping car parts to Hawaii is no joke sometimes but luckily there are companies and people out there willing to help you get the best possible deals when it comes to parts. Please note that you need to consult with a tuner to be able to run mods like these at this point, and there are no OTS maps that I'm aware of when it comes to TGV deletes and EBCS. Unfortunately, there aren't many tuners on Oahu, we have only one full-service AWD dyno, and well-known tuners from the Mainland only get flown out here every once in awhile. Due to this, I reached out to BrenTuning for an eTune, and I'm still very satisfied with the results to this day. I was able to upload a smooth-running map with no CELs, datalog, and coordinate with them to get finetuning as needed. The car stayed with this performance setup for a few months before I tweaked it some more. Splitters are from AeroFlow Dynamics. Don't really have too many install pictures since it's all pretty straightforward.
Forgot to mention the BBS Golds. They are off of an '08 STI and I picked em up for a good price. I mounted the stock tires on those and that's my current temporary setup. They really aren't much for specs, but they will do for now until I drop dollars on a permanent set. I'm sure we all hate looking at weak ass stock wheels. ^_~
