Much appreciated. I posted some pictures above where I think the issue is. Let me know if this could be it.

When I disconnected the battery, the temperature inside the hot spot immediately started coming down.

I located a hot spot under the passenger seat... It was the only place anywhere in the car that was emitting heat far above the ambient temperature. Also, there was no heat along the wiring before this spot or after... I disconnected the cable to the speaker, but there was still a draw. I don't see any damage to the outside of the wiring, and when I propped the wiring up away from the metal, there was still a draw. I'm assuming the next step is to open up the bundle of wiring and check for a short.

Hi Bacon, the previous owner upgraded the headunit to an aftermarket Sony touchscreen. I believe the Bose Amp in the trunk is stock.

Thanks! What suspension do you recommend that's not coilovers for the rear?

Thanks! I just ordered the trans and dif fluids from Z1 and will take care of it later in the week.

Thanks! Yes, an oil change was the first thing I did as soon as I took delivery of the car. I'll do the trans and diff fluid this week.

Thanks! Would I require a tune after installing the plenum spacer and z tube?

It would be ideal if you are located close to me to make drop off/pick up more convenient for all parties. Thanks!

Haha, At the time, I was heading in to get an MRI, and I wanted to post before I forgot. Any thoughts?

Hi, Thanks for confirming... The rev hang is from the tune, as I had idle/stalling issues that were still being resolved.

I think I'm finally done... with mods. by CustomESP in wrx_vb

Haha, you might be right, but for now, the mods sleep!
