That was rather abrupt! Why the sell? Got your eye on something else?

Yeah I want to grab a 2008 STI or maybe a BMW 335, but most likely the 2008 STI

(Cargo room for the most part)

are you going to part out at all?

by Phibs
Nope, I'd rather get rid of it without any more hassle and don't have the parts to return to stock

Sorry to see you sell it, but I can understand about the cargo room!

Of course, the only issue left is the gas/oil thing. Other than that it performs great as everyone keeps telling me

I doubt anyone here wants it, so I'm gonna take it back to andrewtech in the next few weeks and leave it there until they figure out what's up.

I need parts too! What about your injectors? Can I have your injectors? Maybe those headers too.

you may think it's a hassle and the fee is a PITA, but ebay is a reasonably okay way to sell cars, as well. just set the reserve where you're comfortable , make sure the pictures are nice, and you'll probably get a lot of interest.
used STIs teenagers' dreams.

I have stock injectors and 850cc PE for sale if you'd like either.

Okay everyone, Brian's right. Please keep comments limited to legitimate sale-related questions only. Thank you.
Brian mentioned that he'll edit the opening post to indicate the fuel/oil issue.
Brian - please make the edits. We'll clean up the thread to include only sale-related posts.

Did you already sell your stock turbo?

Yessir, sold the VF39 and the TMIC. If I had to do the turbo thing again I would definitely get a larger wheel for more PppPPoOwwWeEErrrRRr so selling it with the car is fine with me.

To note: The price is high I agree and is negotiable, since many people have expressed issues with it.

Meh, I have stock injectors already. What about the 850cc dealies?

PM me if you are interested. They were 'modified' to fit in the stock STI harness mounts @ Darrin's place and other than that work great. I'm willing to part with them for half of retail.

Those are really nice injectors, they would be my choice if I had an STi and was upgrading. Every tuner I have read who has ever posted about upgrading injectors claim these are the least problematic. The "modification" I made was to trim away the plastic runners on the side to allow them to be used with the stock injectors clips. The clips fit very well, and very snug.

Talking with him now. If the current issues are resolved.... this might be on the list of ones I'm looking to get.
EDIT:.. maybe.. although theres a strong possibility that just came into the picture that has a uniqueness factor of about 100%... not going to tip my hand yet.
