    Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to the guys at Batlground for the work they did on my Saabaru yesterday. Brandon installed my up-pipe and TBE and he was a real professional. After observing him working on my car and the care and knowledge he showed, I would have no problem letting him perform any job on my car. If you need work done to your car, he's the man to get it done.
    The Siegel did an awesome job pro-tuning the car after the install and all I can say is "wow". This guy knows these cars! :bowdown: He was very helpful in explaining what was being done to my car and why he was doing it. I now understand why he has the following that he does.

    Short Version: If you need work done to your car, call Mike at Batlground and make an appointment. You won't be sorry.

    (Edited to fix spelling of some tuners name...)

    It was nice to meet you. I'm guessing you were happy with the way the car drives.

    I am ashamed to still be running the stock uppipe....what a bottleneck, lol. The install seems intimidating though...

    If I recall correctly Batlground is very reasonable on upipe installs.

    Uppipe installs are nothing...just gotta know how to do it.

    The Siegel is the best....you can't go wrong with him.

    exactly...and I dont know how to do it, lol.

    I've heard everything from 'its a piece of cake' to 'its a nightmare'. Ive heard that you need to remove your turbo and that you dont need to remove your turbo. Some say you dont have to remove w/ a flex UP and some say you dont have to remove regardless of UP design. Ive been quoted $350 by a reputable installer on this forum (no thanks). Ive seen a few how-to's and they all involved removing the turbo.

    Any links to the definitive how-to UP install?

    no intention to threadjack so just post a link and I'll shut up :)

    Brandon took my turbo out to do the job. It looked like one of those things were you would waste more time working around the turbo then if you just took it out.

    I've done three uppipe installs in like an hour each. The last took longer as I did it differently than normal. The turbo doesn't come off.

    When I had mine done they took off a section of the header instead of removing the turbo... looked a lot easier.... that was a flex too so I don't believe design matters.

    I'll bet you $200 bucks that you can't do the upipe on my wifes stock sti in an hour.

    You don't have to take the turbo off but most people are doing and upipe and downpipe at the same time in which case its easier just to take the turbo off.

    It was nice meeting you. Sorry I didn't get to stick around and talk much between all the running around.
