The WRX finally breaks a part!!
This is mostly for KLEEMANNS and a few other people who have had a run in with a WRX. Brandon at KLEEMANNS warned me that it's easy to make decent power but somthing will give eventually. And that somthing finally did. See living at 6000ft. above sea level we have about 3.5psi less pressure in the atmosphere(~11.2psi atmospheric pressure up here according to my MAP sensor) when compared to sea level(14.7psi) . In short what this means is I can run about 20-22psi on pump gas (to compensate for altitude).
The part in question is the IHI VF22 turbo (not stock turbo) and it only lasted about 8,000 miles at those boost levels.
So chalk one part up to the speed gods
. But it sure was FUN while it lasted [heh].

Someone's an idiot
RLich8, You're an idiot. I was content with just reading other people's posts to find out what problem my new E might have but after reading your post I was compelled to register and state the following fact. You know nothing about cars.
