hey dom do you know if you have upgraded motor mounts??  
the stock mounts are only rated to handle around 300 crank hp/ 300 crank torque. so that could be something to look into

Quit while you’re ahead because that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. :rofl  
You really need to stop listening to everything on nazicock or you’ll end up spending $580 on a bling-a-ling dual catch can setup like you were telling Dom to do. :retardclap

Ok listen I don’t need motor mounts that’s not my problem lol. The catch can setup that chuck sent me will work great and its cheap. I’m at shako right now and they are making me a oil feed line then I will be able to start the motor up again and see how she runs. I cleaned the pvc. Valve yesterday it was cloged with a lot of shit so maybe that helped to well see. And my typeing sucks on my phone hahaha

Yeah definitely don’t listen to me. I’ve only had two turbo subaru’s in the last 3 years.

The sti ej257 needs two cans due to the way the pcv system is designed.  
Dual catch can setup = 2 catchcans :retardclap  
290 + 290 = $580

I would rather pay 130 for 2 well engineered cans than 290 for one of the ricer ixizblingbox’s.
