It's been a long time since I last updated. Been a long time since I've been online as well, or driven bugz... my license being revoked and all. Lots has changed, bugz is no lunger on the top of the first page with a perfect rating. I guess I left you hanging on the obs swap and the turbo install...
The swap didn't exactly go as planned. After installing the engine mechanically (with only minor complications), the wiring proved to be a nightmare. To make a long story short I had the car towed to Rallispec where similar installs are ~3-5k which I could pull, but when the guys at Rallispec looked at it they quoted 10k which is a little steep. It was a hard decision to make, having spent so much time, effort, and money on this project to bail, but it had to be done.
Bugz on the other hand fared much better. I put on a vf-34, sti pinks, Walbro fuel pump, borla hush catback, 3rd cat eliminator, and reflashed for all of it with my ACCESSport. I reverted to a more stock look, painting the carbon fiber hood. The car itself is upstate until I get my license back sometime this August.
