Joe's Used Parts Build, forum sourced
JoeInOregon replied to JoeInOregon's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Pressure Gauge will be coming off the passenger side of the damper , electronic pressure gauge inline past damper and wired to tgv, Flex fuel sensor ultimately went in the return line, for a bunch of reasons, but it is sitting at the lowest level will always have fuel and I don't plan to run a mix of fuels, so fast response is not even needed just enough to know percentage of tank should be fine, specially if you don't top off and run it near empty before fill ups Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk -

Well , tgvs, injectors, regulator , and damper are in. I went threw many design ideas before I settled on one. Return I'm sure on now .... Advise welcome on supply. Current plan is to come off the front of both rails with a 90, and run to a ywe , right behind the driver side tvg , running under the intake manifold and hairline cross overs Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk -

I'm dislexic as fu*ck , and I can't spell. I didn't notice tell you mentioned it Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk -
Working on mine now If you are not doing the work yourself, buy a kit with lines. The cost to custom fab lines is not much less just in parts and by the time you pay a mechanic ... forget it. Your other option is swapping out OEM parts that are top feed. To make matters worse the kits are not as readily available for legacy's. In your situation basically ask your tunner what parts he wants to use to get it done as cheap as possible, then open your wallet Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

"stage 2" VF40 to VF52, stock fuel.
JoeInOregon replied to DansSpace's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
To be fair I have never driven a vf52 , stock everything and stock everything with stage one canned Cobb tune is my only experience. So I guess if you are replacing turbo anyway, worth it sounds like. Part of me is a little bummed I went as far with the build as I did so think that's affecting my opinion. I'm thinking the 16g and e85 and fueling will liven it up enough to make it worth it. If I wasn't going at least that big I wouldn't do much, honestly the stage one canned tune and no other mods really changed the car, I bet up and down pipes and few other things would have been fine for me.

Identifying age of stock turbo....
JoeInOregon replied to JoeInOregon's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Not original , was my mom's for a few years and had two owners before that. I'm starting to thing this car was very built at one time and the current motor and turbo are not original to the car It has a transmission from a 99 legacy in it. So it was driven hard enough to need a replacement but the condition of the engine and turbo do not show that level of abuse. It's anyone's guess but I think at one time it was put back to "stock" and sold The stering wheel also show wear that is indicates some serious white knuckle driving Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk -
"stage 2" VF40 to VF52, stock fuel.
JoeInOregon replied to DansSpace's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Knowing what I know now I never would have replaced my turbo, my only concern was it being a 177k car, during the disassembly I discovered my turbo is in great shape and has probably been replaced. When you look at Dyno numbers for stock turbo vs a vf52 with stock fueling I don't see the justification Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk -

2012 LGT 6mt into a 2005 LGT 5mt
JoeInOregon replied to Infosecdad's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
As an owner of an 05 I approve this . Would love to do a 6mt one day without messing with the rear Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk -
I really liked the AVO, it had a small plate on the back you could remove for a little more noise but not enough air to mess things up. Help body well (stage 1) Seemed to act quickly and was a noticable improvement from stock Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

Aftermarket FPR vs OEM STI FPR
JoeInOregon replied to Tehnation's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
I have mild case of this , bone stock and also with stage one AP tune. New set up will be ID rails in parallel ,1050 ID injectors, separate return line for each rail from the back side to Radium FPR Pressure side will be stock line into Radium inline damper then out then a y that splits to the front of each rail Radium said obviously their rails with the ports for their own rail mounted dampers was best, but the inline with their fpr should be fine. They do make a fpr with built in damper also. Some research I have done suggested having separate lines into the fpr is going to help with pulses as well. Only time will tell and I'm also curious to see the difference in e85 and pump gas in this department Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk -
In the process of my build and taking parts out I got to my stock turbo. It looks dam near new , there is absolutely no side to side shaft play and in and out is barley perceivable. I figured 170k turbo was about toast and was the main reason I decided to go 16g. I'm kinda torn now. Can I get production date from the serial or any way to identify if it is original ?

Joe's Used Parts Build, forum sourced
JoeInOregon replied to JoeInOregon's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
A little progress today, the intake is out can finish fabrication on fuel lines and install new TGV's injectors rails fpr and flex fuel kit now. From there plan to do the turbo, up and down pipe , then finish with installing turbo inlet and manifold. Any advice on how to go about assembly order is appreciated now that it is apart Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk -

Ya smile on face why I bought mine and like it, I have had all kids of cars more comfortable extera The legacy's are so great because they are quicker than they should be and look Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk -
If you are doing the wrenching a remote tune might be the way to go. You won't get the Dyno sheet , with a good tuner you definitely get a good tune. I have always done it this way with my VAG cars but now I have a great shop down the road. You can get to your goals for way less than it's going to cost you the suggested route. In my experience remote tunes are also nice if you do your own mechanical work , you don't end up needing extra Dyno time and tune sessions to chase gremlins Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk
