  1. saw a dark blue 05-06 2.5i. in southington at the mobil gas station on route 10. cleared out grille and a huge wing on the trunk. anyone here?
  2. i used the one from my 2005 outback xt. i had two of them. direct drop in.
  3. you must be talking about the screw that goes into the plastic piece that breaks if you over tighten it. POS if you ask me
  4. it might be better if he wasnt on this board. i probably would have driven him off the road.
  5. thanks. im hoping the turbo will put a smile on my face. at least is something to look forward too
  6. yes i am one of those OB owners thanks you. my stuff is getting installed this week. hta68 blah blah blah. unfortunately its only being installed because my father was killed on 691 last week and my mom gave me money to make me happy. id rather have my dad back then the turbo
  7. i will update this thread on when im being dyno tuned. maybe you can stop on by. not sure where in mass you are. what are you putting down with the 52 and where on earth do you get E85? no on in CT sells them
  8. yeah it seems like a very linear turbo. hoping it will make the car much more driveable. i already have the vb mod and a huge cooler. gonna be a fun outback.
  9. that could be my friend who lives in bolton
  10. yeah this was about 8am so it probably wasnt you
  11. was behind a white legacy gt debaged this morning in thomaston and parked next to a black lgt in the commuter lot across from dunkin donuts by route 8 today. anyone on here?
  12. ok so i took this piece off because it was hitting my FMIC pipe but now i need it back. for the life of me i can not find where i put it. anyone have any idea of the part number. its the big metal mount that has rubber in it and holds the fuel lines. i wish i could download a parts manual for this car. thanks.
  13. im not going to comment since i am just learning how to tune but wait till you see what a difference the 1mm pill makes in spool time. hitting target boost is a whole lot easier
  14. thanks a lot. i will talk with my tuner about it. until then i will just baby it
  15. i wasnt having overboosting issues in hot weather but we had a few 65 degree mornings and now i am hitting 21-22psi in 5th. running a fmic with 1mm pill. any ideas
  16. my wifes 2005 2.5i does not have vtd and is a 90/10 split. also no rear lsd. only the 5speed autos in the 3.0 and 2.5gt/xt have vtd. now the 2010's might have vtd but they also only come with a cvt.
  17. my wifes 2.5i legacy 4eat has the same symptoms just not as pronounced. no rear lsd but if you give it to much gas the rear end will come out on you while not turning. my 2001 forester 4eat had a rear lsd and did the same thing. im pretty sure its the automatic tranny that does this.
  18. my 2001 forester did the same thing and my 2005 obxt also is tail happy. i also had snow tires on my forester. im almost 100% sure its driving style. also you have the remember that 2005 and up autos are rear drive biased. while its only 55-45 it still has the tendency to shift more power to the rear depending on throttle position. now most of the other awd systems are fake and basically front wheel drive which is why the tail does slide out. all i know is i drove a FWD car for the 1st time in 4 years yesterday(2009 mitsubishi galant) and i can never go back to FWD again. the handling is totally unpredictable.
  19. just bought a used 2005 xt 5eat about 5 days ago. love every min of it so far except the oil leak and initial p2009 code
