Fitting AVCS heads is not the problem getting them to work is,my wife is doing it on here classic as I'm swapping my engine into her classic,but I think with her car is more problems as she is keeping her loom and inlet manifold so at minimum her car needed after market ecu custom loom extension to run the AVCS heads but as yours is a newage it might be a tad more simpler.SJ.

On a Newage WRX you will need a Newage Sti ecu at the least to run it as the WRX one doesn't have the function, Not too difficult after that, If you still have the TGV wiring they us that and add an additional 2/3 more to the ecu I did it on my last scoob, Bad luck BTW but that's modding for you love it or hate it

Sorry to hear your news, but my STI went from 265 to 400+ over ten years and was thrashed and abused on track as well, before I had a 2.1 build done before I broke it by running 2+ bar of boost for the last couple of years....

ive not really had any major problems to be honest
-i had to replace the original turbo after 98k it was goosed-these dont last forever
-the brakes gave me a nightmare as the persons that fitted them had never head of a torque wrench/copper grease.cant blame the car for this
and the gearbox had to be changed but it wasnt a major hassle
looking through the service history the car up to 57k when the original engine failed was given a engine flush with every oil change........
the car has been super reliable using no liquids between servicing and i have never had to take it to my mechanic for anything else other than mentioned so i wouldnt say its been un-reliable
i think i am going to save for a rebuild and go for a stroker..........if im going to do it im gonna do it properly.
what do you think of the graphs?

But the above shows it's had a hard life and been driven to death or not warmed and cooled properly, a turbo and box replacement under 100k? Loads of cars have gone past that.
Fair enough it's got the service history but as you've just seen it means jack at this present time. And are you sure it's had a sti bottom end rebuild at power station, I know you have receipt but have you had a good look at the actual part? Just the brake tourque problem shows a incompetent mechanic or owner, so who knows the rest.
