I finally took my car out for a test drive after doing the sti short block swap and the off boost drivability is so much better. I can't wait to get past the break in period and see how it drives with some real boost.

The only issue I have is that it sounds like I screwed up when I put the release bearing in. It makes a little noise on take off and is a little hard to get into first. Is this just a matter of bleeding the clutch? I never touched the hydraulics on the clutch when I swapped the motor.
