    2014 STI Stage II Protuned with Cobb 3 port EBCS

    Managed to get 17K mi out of her.

    Just ordered 2 new head cores, looking for a turbo replacement, and a TiC Beefy Badger is on the stand waiting for accessories. This should be fun when its done. Not crazy power, just super refined and rev happy. Turbo in mind is a 16G so probably 350/375 to the wheels.

    Right after driver's head removal. Not in focus but #4 has chunks taken out of the quench areas.

    Driver's head 2 on top, 4 on bottom. #4's valves are pocked up and the chunks to the right side of the pic are embedded in the head and some were identifiable as the part of the valve guide.

    Wow, and I thought mine was bad.
    What they hell did they do, a hillclimb @ WOT for 30mins straight?
    That's a LOT of heat.
