Yeah no joke. Poor guy was all excited about it until I told him I'd hook him up. I honestly still feel like $150 was too much, but I made that back up with that damned front sway bar.

Front swaybars on a turbo Subaru are so much fun.

Yep so coming out was TD04 turbo (I guess they're also called 16G?) and going in was a VF-43.
The stock turbo in the 02-08 WRX is a Mitsubishi TD04L-13T. You're installing a previous-generation USDM STI turbo (the IHI VF43, 07 STI).

The latter number-letter combination in TD04-13T indicates the wheel setup; there is also a TD04-19T which, while not supplied by Subaru in any production car to the best of my knowledge, spools a little faster and is a little better matched to a 2.0L WRX than the stock turbo. It's not really worth it if you have a 2.5L WRX like the one shown (06-07) pushing on it though.

The TD04 spools really fast (ridiculously so with the proper gearing) but has very little top-end puff, while the VF43 spools almost as fast and has a little more top-end before it runs out of steam.

I think the L means "rotated," but I'm not sure.

A "16G" turbo is DSM-ese for their own popular Mitsubishi TD05H-16G turbo upgrade, which I don't think is the same thing. No idea what the "H" means. Some JDM WRXes had TD05s as well, but who cares about those, you guys drive on the right side of the road.

Usually when you upgrade to the STI turbo you also want to run the STI intercooler, which your victim has already done. Give them a hearty handshake and good luck with the remap.

Those titanium exhausts are hilarious. When they came out at my local shop I was like "I like the looks of that but the fake blued tip is too ricey for me, can I order it without the blued tip?"

The answer is no. The rice is mandatory.

One enterprising apprentice offered to take a grinder to my $1300 titanium exhaust to get rid of it.

Now I drive a car worth less than that exhaust. Priorities??

Dude and I talked, dude apologized for being an idiot. We're doing his clutch next Monday night and over the next couple days afterwards, to give some time for him to get his flywheel resurfaced, because he "didn't know he needed to do that".

Isn't it a dual-mass flywheel on that generation of Legacy GT? I think you need to order a fresh one, friend.

I'm tempted to see what would happen to the heater core if you poured some evaporust in there and drove around for a few minutes. It's supposed to be cooling system safe, maybe you could clean it out enough to put off a full heater core job.

E: apparently they make a concentrate form that's easier to run in a rad with straight water. You run the engine to get it warm and then let it sit overnight to eat rust.

The Evapo-Rust is basically molasses so there's not a lot of weird caustic poo poo in there to eat up your engine. If you leave it for long enough it should dissolve any substantial rust flakes into solution so it won't clog the fins or the endtank jets.

Just curious because I wanted to try it, and here we are with an already-dickered cooling system to try it on!

CLR would probably have similar results too. Play the Comanche Lottery.
