Ok thank you for that info, I have top feed injectors but they are definitely Denso

My understanding is OEM includes the Brand "Subaru" the OE is just the part without the brand. What I have found on most of the vehicle are parts with no branding or part numbers. Only thing thus far were the injectors which were Denso. I got bought it secondhand so I have no clue what should have a brand/part number on it if any of the parts at all...

Due to the IC pipe purchase failure I just gave up, I will officially just 3D print it like I did with IC O-Ring and DP O-Ring.

OEM parts in most cases take a minimum of 3 weeks to arrive, If I take the vehicle in then its 4 - 5 weeks not sure why there's an extra delay but suspect they purchase from a National head office which then distributes the parts.

Geez that's hectic lol, worst for me was living by the ocean which killed 2 of my vehicles due to rust... Everything was rusted...

What about aftermarket with OE certification?

Oh yes and I'm replacing my VVT solenoids they advised me that one is sticking so I get a random jerk in traffic and that my be the cause of it. Tried cleaning it which made zero difference.

Yup, its either a mountain fire or some of the roads being flooded by the sea... But either way you can drive 365 days a year. Just love the mountain drives with this car, its really something else.

This part bending is what they were talking about say that when the car goes into boost its going to bulge/collapse... Otherwise a nice looking pipe to me

The thing is that a lot of the stuff isn't available on Amazon, I find it easier buying through them because I don't sit with a courier holding the parcel and on some random day sending me a import duty charge. Then when I pay I need to wait 2 days for release, then another 2-3 days for it to get to the region... Then another 1 - 3 days for it to be delivered... I know its rambling but I'm that kind of guy that when I order stuff I want it on a specific day because I would have already planned a day to work on the car to have specific things done... When there are delays you may have to do a specific job twice because the same things need to be removed... Or when they mess with your schedule you need to find another gap to sit with everything.

Thank goodness, I nearly got a heart attack. I ordered 2x Turbo inlet hose (Mishimoto and JMT brand) - They refused to install the JMT due to it being to soft on the MAF pipe joining side (Could probably prevent it by inserting a 70mm 45 deg aluminum pipe into the hose) but now I'm stuck with that pipe and will try to sell. I ordered the IC to throttle body hose also Mishimoto and it was 8mm too short... Just too many fails.

Replacement pump arrived... made a mistake... its a 340LPH but will it really be an issue? The fuel should recirculate back into the fuel tank right, it will just be much more...?

Lol something like that I guess. Yup just working my way through. Glad I'm done with the TGV deletes think that was the most painful and just did the turbo inlet pipe at the same time.

The 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 are available here. The only 2.5 manuals sold here are Spec B and they are few. They are all ADM region vehicles so it's branded Legacy but it's actually a Liberty

Sweet thanks for the write up really appreciate it. Yes I have the upgraded tmic which fits the stock VF46. I wasn't planning on doing a front mount with all the unnecessary extra work as I wasn't looking for much more power. The original reason for the replacement was that I just prefer everything to be metal and prevent air leaks. I still want to replace all the hosing for the coolant as well but just removing everything I feel may fail. So working down the list of things I gathered from feedback in this group.

On that note: Intercooler - Already upgraded Piping - In progress just need the IC pipe Replacing Pump because of age (Just for reassurance - 255LPH) I haven't decided on what I'm going to do hence I just stated the feedback I received. I have seen a few post indicating that the VF52 spools at a later stage vs VF46 and you wouldn't feel that quick spool as you do with the VF46 but the VF52 keeps boost through the rest of the rev range while the VF46 starts to loose momentum a lot sooner. (True or not I can't say hence one would trust what the "Expert" says) Just so my understanding of what you are saying is clear, with the stuff I have already done there should be no issue putting in a VF52 turbo while with the VF48 I may have to adjust a few things?

Yeah I got the just of that, I spoke to the Tuners/Mech and they advised that for a daily driver they recommend the VF48 as a max with Billet to allow it to spool faster, so you would still get the early boost experience you get with the VF46 with a bit more power. A max of a 750cc injectors, pump is already on the way so that's covered. Honestly I haven't decided if I want to up the turbo because I'm not sure if I really want that much more power... I'm thinking that after I replace diff and gear box oil as well as either replace or clean the VVT solenoids I might just get the tune and see the feel from there and then decide. The IC to TB pipe I ordered was to short for my car so the stock one is back on, I really just want to replace that too.

Well too my surprise... The injectors work, the tuner and mechanic found no issues with it... Just dropped in and worked no anomalies... Got impatient so I haven't had the car tuned as I planned due to all the delays, but am going to schedule the next appointment soon.

Next Project, since steering wheels cost a ridiculous amount... taking the Sti look which can overlap the existing steering wheel then probably warp it with some leather and your done... Draft design still need to include the inner joints to the steering wheel. Still thinking about overall risks as it should be glued on but at the same time you would want zero slip.

Guess I just made myself the guineapig...

I found another good company by the looks of it and I'm chatting with them at the moment. Price also seems very reasonable. They take Bosch injectors and run them through tests and rebrand them. Below if anyone is interested. Getting all the details but will definitely order from them. The other injectors I am going to have tested before I decide what I'm going to do with them. I'm not going to risk buying cheap to pay for it at a later stage. https://www.snakeeaterperformance.com/products/pro-series-wrx-48-11-wrxmm-ev6-uscar-plug-735cc-min-70lb-hr-43psi-injectors-subaru-wrx?_pos=3&_sid=7c76430dd&_ss=r&variant=44642426585317

Story of my life...

I can't get them here, they don't ship to this side nor is there a supplier this side selling DW... Thats one of my issues and limitations

Hi Guys, Just raising the dead here... What is the part number or the specifications for the Bosch injectors? I'm just looking at stock replacement. This part pops up when I search but its a universal Bosch 0280158235 / Bosch 731cc Fuel Injector Medium Denso 0280158235

Ok Now I'm starting to get scared... I have seen a few reviews now on the KSM injectors and it doesn't look good... I'm probably going to have to see how they look when they arrive and have them flow tested depending and see how that goes but really not comfortable at the moment. Does anyone know if the Bosch 62416 / 0280158235 is compatible with the vehicle? I see its a 731cc https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/bosch-731cc-fuel-injector-medium-denso-0280158235?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=21039752370&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlZixBhCoARIsAIC745ABj0rR2tz_5NvgWQODO2R7qAaYKwSwm3O7tehI44C7DZ_hcTtDCyIaAjR5EALw_wcB
