Looks really nice! I'm a huge fan of the wagons.

If you think its a blast now just wait until the snow starts to fly.

Nice. I love driving my Subby more in the snow than any other weather.

Russ put a turbo back exhaust on that and a basic tune so you see full boost in first gear...then you'll really have some fun!

Stock less failure and boost enhancments for now: Accurate boost gauge to monitor factory settings, pull up cat and down cat, set boost manualy to get rid of computer controlled boost dump after 5000rpm. Put an EGT in number 3 to see whats factory happy before tweeking.

i didnt wanna mod mine right away, i put a downpipe and dump on it at first.. i was hooked from that moment!

just with the few mods ive got, its a night and day difference! a boost controller and tbe will be your best friend! A catless up pipe also helps a lot with spool time! but as you stated, its just a matter of time before something breaks with the added power!

yea, the stock downpipe on my car was a plate with a 1" hole in it, it was restrictive as hell. I added a Tsudo TBE when i was home on leave, it kept the boost from spiking to 21 PSI when it had the dump on it ( man was that fun ) and quieted the car down. the Up pipes on my year were catless to begin with, i only plan to change it if i do a turbo swap, and get everything ceramic coated along with it. Torqued Performance has a really nice Stage 2 tune to go along with the AEM Intake i have and the Grimm Speed EBCS, i just need to to some data logging so that he can tweek the tune for me. Later on ill add a nice FMIC and hopefully if i do swap the turbo, i dont blow the Ring Lands, the weak point on the 08+ Motors...
