Dude you must deal drugs, you have the same job as me and I can't afford to slap in my toda stroker kit, garrett turbo, greddy intercooler, etc. J/K Well I'm glad you can afford to do all this stuff to your car, sucks about what happened, I haven't seen your car lately to think of it.
I myself seem to be on a downward slope of moddin and car enthusiast.. I love my car but my motivation to keep moddin it and such has run on me. I had to withdraw my order to pay for my wife's bills as she's been unemployed and is to lazy to get a new job. So my Carbon Fiber C-West bumper has flown away, lucky for her it didn't arrive within the six months after I ordered it.
NW evos hasn't had a group meeting in a while or atleast one that I know of.. prolly have one in Aug when I'll be deployed again for another month.

wont really know anything untill the leak down test. hopefully it is the turbo, since i already have a new 35r waiting to go on.
if it is the head gasket, witch i could see going. i have a new one that is an aftermarket piece that is a lot stronger than stock, and the STI one is pretty beefie, new limited edition ARP head studs that are super strong, and if it is a piston.... well i will be doing new pistons, rods, matched and blue printed, and havent decided on head work yet..... i know i would benifit greatly from it. but i dont know if i want to spend the $$$$$$
here is a short clip, it happend on the next pull..... i was shifting in to 6th as i passed him.... this is on a closed road called pumkin road out in BFE. and it was 7am on saturday morning. i will be doing a drive out there as soon as my car is up. i will have a map up later.
i have about 40 minutes of video to shift through, this is a funny clip....but extreamly dangerous, he was pretty close to the road when i passed so do not attempt.

i dont deal the drugs man... even though there is enough money in it to ~almost warrent it~
the short block is fine, leak down test came back well in factory spec. now need to pull the motor, check the head gasket, and i am doing research now on head work.

a friend of mine had a sti, his cat some how came apart or pieces of it got on the turbine side and bent all the fins. it still ran, but ran like ***.
he has since sold it though, he got tired of it i guess.
good luck, i hope it's nothing to serious.

I think the WRX has 3 or 4 cats. There are so many cats on that car, i guess they had trouble making it emissions compliant. A stock WRX is really quiet. When I had mine I disconnected the exhaust pipe going to the muffler and drove around like that for awhile, it was too damn quiet otherwise.
On a side note, the EVO is so much better than a regular WRX its ridiculous.. The WRX drives nice, but performance wise there's no comparison.
