The VA WRX gets grief from the EJ faithful, but a well-tuned FA20DIT is a torque-rich, efficient daily. This build chases response and safety margin, not peak numbers.
Flex fuel is the centerpiece — E30 keeps knock away from the direct-injected FA under boost. TGV deletes and a catted J-pipe round out the supporting mods before the e-tune.
On hold while the STI track car takes shop priority. The J-pipe install notes will land in the DIY Tech section once it goes back on jack stands.
