I will do this omw home. Thank you

Not too sure. It should be the stock pill. The shop transferred basically everything from the old shortblock to the new one, just replacing items that needed to be replaced. Would putting a different length hose cause it to jump like that? I had the car on the Stage 1 OTS before it blew. I'm not particularly too keen on putting it back on an OTS. There is a shop close that can do dyno tuning close-ish to me. The shop said that it should be fine on the stock map and even sent it to the tuner to see if anything needs to be changed. They said that all the values are fine. They themselves also do not recommend running an OTS.

Haha. I'm most likely staying stock engine till my engine warranty ends (About 3 years). It's probably going to be mostly maintenance and suspension from now on.

Thank you for the insight. This is my first time using the an Accessport and first time with a turbocharged car.

Stock everything, should still be VF46, 5mt (Edit: I can send a log in here. I'm just a bit busy right now)

I did a little bit more testing, after about 4,000 rpm, it tapers from 17.5 psi to 14 down to 12psi at the top. I called my shop and they said that is normal. As long as the car doesn't feel like its hitting a wall. I can feel the car jump from high boost to low.

Hello, I recently finished my break in 500 miles on my new engine build. It is a Type RA shortblock with D25 heads and everything else is stock. The turbo was checked and the shop stated that it was in good condition and did not need replacing. I recently started getting the car into boost and immediately noticed it jumping to 17+ psi on the AP. I remember with the old shortblock even on the Stage 1 OTS, it would max out at 15.8ish psi. What is the stock boost level on a 08/09 Legacy GT and why on god's green earth is it going +3 psi than before. Everything is stock, stock turbo, stock injectors, stock downpipe, stock intake.

I was wondering if it is possible to clear the taillights for 08-09 BL? I know on pre-facelift ones its just plastic on the housing. Did they change it on the facelift to paint or is it still just a plastic piece?

Update! She is back on the road. EJ257 Type RA block, new plugs, IAG oil pickup and baffle and an AOS. Cylinder 4 cooling mod coming after 500 mile oil change.

I definitely don't want to buy a used short/long block as I don't want the risk of this happening again.

Yeah, I am going to call a few shops that are near me. Would it be best to buy another EJ255 shortblock or upgrade at this time. The timing belt and water pump are practically brand new as well has the silicone hoses for the radiator and the radiator.

So update on the car: I have severe knocking now. I believe the engine is toast and I'm trying to weigh my options. Any engine recommendations since I do want to get the car back on the road.

Yep, I had two grinding noises on deceleration in gear before my center diff rebuild, which was all new bearings. The sound I have now is a lot less noisy but it still happens in all the gears except 1st. They replaced the 1.63 snap ring, output shaft shim 1.00, the oil seal shifter shaft, the ball bearing, the Roll BRG 22x and the Roll BRG 30x. If I clutch in or put the car in neutral, the noise stops. edit: I we also had new knuckles and front wheel bearings too. So it is cannot be wheel bearings. The sound also comes directly from the transmission tunnel.

Thank you, I am still trying to figure out what in the world the grinding is. But it's always 3k mile oil changes for me! edit: I was also wondering what I would need to trim in order to get a JDM grill to fit on the USDM bumper flush? Its the honeycomb with the chrome surround. I couldn't seem to find that much detailed info on what needs trimming. edit 2: I found it

Hello! About a year ago in May we got this LGT sight unseen. This is my first car, first manual car, and first car I have ever worked on. Was stock when I got it. The previous owner probably had a downpipe on the car before as the turbo heatshield was missing. What is on the car right now: ACT HDSS-SB11 clutch and flywheel Superpro Front lower control arms Nameless Axleback Exhaust Koyorad Radiator with Grimmspeed Hoses Some short throw shifter, I believe its a cobb one SPT Heatshield Fresh Conti Extreme Contact DWS06 Fortune Auto 500 Coilovers (7k/6k) in black and blue I do still have some weird grinding on deceleration in gear. The entire center diff has been rebuilt by a reputable shop. The bearings were all messed up and replaced with new ones from Subaru. It sounds like its drivetrain related but I don't know exactly what is wrong. I have been driving the car like this for about a year and I have not had any shifting issues yet. I have a JDM grill on order and it should come in mid September. I am also planning to clear the headlights soon. The pictures are in chronological order. Enjoy!
