You will need a custom downpipe for any of the EFR turbos. I'm pretty sure all the turbine housing options from BW have a v-band exit. Any downpipe with a stock style flange is not compatible. Maybe the downpipe could be modified to mate up depending on how much turbo placement varies from OEM. Could be just as easy to go full custom downpipe and sell the other.

Fabsx how is the build holding up? Now that my daily driver is back together I'm start to eye the IQ headers. Do you have any pics of bottom clearance between splash guard and headers/turbo? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -
No stalling, cold start idle is smooth, AMAZING!!! Seems like the bad luck Baja is back on track. I wonder how long it will take to get used to it behaving normally. Everytime I'm rolling to a stop I'm staring at the tach wondering when it will stall. It will be a hard habit to break after doing that for almost a year and a half.

Not 100%. They absorbed about 1/3 of the total cost so I ended up with about 2/3 of the full bill for diag time, labor, parts and retuning. The car should have been more thoroughly tested in December when it was there for the first tune. The issues went unresolved and led to this failure. On the return trip home from their shop it stalled multiple times within an hour drive and this was after it barely started in their parking lot. They definitely dropped the ball when the car was there the first time. This kind of damage should have been prevented. I think they were pretty reasonable in the end. I don't expect a business to fully eat parts and labor due to an issue with an OEM part with 180k on it. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

No I was told it was corrosion on the main harness. When they said corrosion, my mind immediately went to the build up normally seen around battery terminals. They didn't mention anything about a leak or other issue so I'm thinking this is different than what you experienced. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Built block #2 is now in the Baja with about 300 break-in miles on it. Tuning is scheduled for mid-October. IAG will continue the break-in process prior to tuning. What happened to the first block you may be wondering?? Stalling and erratic idle still existed after the tune in December. After much back and forth and hoping to resolve the issues remotely, it was determined to be a mechanical issue so car went back to IAG in late June. Compression was below 100 psi in cylinders 1 & 2. Culprit turned out to be corrosion on the main harness causing a ground issue. Engine saw lean conditions and ringlands went. Walls were scored badly enough that it was not cost effective to repair so another IAG stage 2 tuff went in. Thankfully the heads suffered no damage and only needed resurfacing. Losing a motor with 1500 miles is quite a pill to swallow particularly on your beater. Especially given that I had not driven it hard at all since the issues were obvious from break-in to post tuning. I have really had zero fun on the build. Oh well such is life...or such is 2020!

Yes, IQ says it will work with all those B1 frame non wastegate turbos. The 7163 I found was used by a shop owner in TX with less than 1k miles. He ran it on his R32 GTR temporarily before going bigger. Side note - the guy does a lot of Subaru builds including machine work and engine assembly. I had never heard of his shop but they run a time attack car and he's very knowledgeable. P2P Racing is the name of his business. $775 so I couldn't pass on it. 90° compressor from Full Race was about $250. I also got a v-band downpipe flange and Turbosmart BOV block off. Are you using the integrated BOV on the turbo? Are you running the turbo speed sensor? Seems like overkill to me but mine came with it. I think I'll pass on it and leave the 90° housing undrilled.

Unknown clearance with the undertray is the only reason why I haven't purchased the header yet. Please post pics so I can cross that off and get my order in. In the meantime I did get a screaming deal on a 7163. So I guess I've already somewhat committed here. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -

You're a brave soldier. Bets on which one goes first - motor or trans? How do you feel about E85 and stock head studs? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -

I have the Primitive plate. Fitment is spot on. Go ahead and order one. Been running one since I switched to EWGs over 5 years ago. So there are no clearance issues with the entire setup and the OEM plastic undertray? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -

Any other pics of dump tube? Looks tight in there near the downpipe. Is it not touching the header and/or downpipe? Maybe it's just the angle of the pic or was this prior to final adjustment? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -

Fabsx, I didn't see any mention of a built motor in your first post. You still running 100% stock motor? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -

I just put 2+2 together. OP's location pretty much tells me who the tuner is. I remember reading about tuning shops and parts manufacturers that were hit with EPA violations a few years back. Seems like those stories have calmed down under the current administration. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -

Why did you choose 6758 over 7163? Stealing a post from fahr_side... https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/topic?url=https%3A%2F%2Flegacygt%2Ecom%2Fforums%2Fshowthread%2Ephp%3Fp%3D5959130&share_tid=228517&share_pid=5959130&share_fid=5383&share_type=t&link_source=app Meh. 7163 or don’t bother. And don’t forget the exhaust cams. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -
