I'll get that list ASAP.

Thanks for the ideas guys.
Okay, that answers that I guess.

If the problems are all in the shortblock, then yes, you should tear it down and put the WRX shortblock into the STi. That way, you still have an STi when you're done, not some weird hacked hybrid that will never quite work right without a custom tune.
