Just installed one of @%1; valve bodies on my 09 5eat and it is awesome. Shifts are less than half the speed and feel much more confirmed. Currently running flexfuel on a gtx3071 TS and it feels much better than the mushy stock engagement. I know it’s an old thread but just wanted to put it out in the open that there is an option for 08-09 folks!

So @lvkeith where and how did you get batman's valve mod? As eldrego mentioned, he has very few post on this site, and no links to his product.

i had mine done in my 08 and he wasn't able to reprogram due to it being different; looked around for an answer but ended up just moving the chip over from one board to another; worked great

I believe i am in a position of needing a new ECU as well. Couple of questions:

 

1. I assume that i would need to uninstall my accessport before doing this?

2. Anyone with the know how/tools willing to do this for others? I don't know my way around well enough i don't believe to be messing with my ECU? Compensation of course.

Speaking of torque converters; can someone discribe what the "shutter" feels like. I am having all sorts of issues with my car and i am wondering if they are all steeming from a failing converter. When going up hills at highway cruise sometimes the car is almost surging, and you can watch rpm go up/down quickly like the converter is locking/unlocking, does that sound like shutter? I will add a video of what btssm is showing that kinda matches my issues.

 

I'm also wondering if this is also causing false knock instances which get to the point of car barely running so much timing is pulled as the instances can be completely random, runs fine one min, terrible next all seeming from knock.

Off topic but do you still have the Rev9 intercooler? If so which version did you go with (perrin or PW) and do you have any pics?

Cryo can you explain why no AT, are they that much different or what?

I think i have heard of people putting GR STi ecu's in spec b's, having them programmed to match the immobilizer, not positive on this but i think i've seen it done. Maybe that is public knowledge on those special cars, but im not sure

 

The no availability for the canbus auto cars is very sad

I'm pretty sure at one point i remember seeing a thread or page or something about how to trim an outback fender wells? I'm going to try my best to run 255/35R18 on my obxt but i'm afraid i'm going to have to finally do some more work than a half ass roll.

What are the square and round thing under the bumper?

Did anyone else think that the ride suffered when adding even a 1" spacer lift? I think maybe if you went to adjustable control arms it would be different but i just looked forward to the softer ride in the winter and w/ the 1" it just wasn't worth the install pain & poor ride quality.

Just a question guys, i ordered 2 days ago. I have an order# and status is ready for shipment, but the date shows 8/2/17/ Anyone noticed this before? I have no shipping # yet.

^ thank you, that would have been more wasted money on amazon.

Got a link for which one, I'm always afraid I'll get one that doesn't work

You're not going to find any right-angle cable that will fit between your vent duct and the tablet. There's not nearly enough space. Your options are to cut into the vent (see above), or to relocate the USB port on the tablet (see how I did it several pages back, or just search posts by me in this thread). It helps to be handy with a soldering iron

 

I wish I trusted myself enough to do that. Right now I have the hole in the duct but was hoping to avoid it while I'm redoing my setup

Made by our very own, heiche. Easily some of the best couple of bucks you'll spend.

 

I might have asked this before but are you guys running btssm Bluetooth or wired, I am Bluetooth and it freezes under moderate throttle?

 

I'm in the middle of an update, hope is the tablet doesn't have to come out again after I'm all said and done with the install!

Kinda sucks so many options for HDMI but none that i can find for usb

I was searching micro usb and i guess i didn't look close enough. Do you have a link to what you have bought, having to cut them down isn't very practical

Has anyone used one of these? It's expensive so some feedback would be awesome. I am redoing my setup to be more permanent and efficient which requires me changing out to a micro usb cord so i can fire the unit up if/when it dies without having to remove it completely. As of right now i have a hole cut in my vent (which might still be necessary) but this looks pretty darn thin:

I can see id need to get some sort of female to female adapter to run my current OTG cable or change it as well.

I assume you guys have seen this giant floating around Facebook lately

Fuel? Did Graham tune it?

i was able to do this some time back, although i think it was a little more involved, i ended up getting it done without any cutting but required going all the way into the dash and the steering column. Are you fog lights still fully functional? I set up so that my fog lights could be used with my running lights without the DRL's.

So the bumper is aesthetically about the same besides for a little different shape in the headlights and around the grill? For some reason I thought they had a little less utilitarian look to them till I was looking on eBay a couple nights ago. Now not sure it's worth it just for the squirrels lol

Thanks guys

xt2005bonbon are you running your tablet with a btssm dongle or do you have the cable? Just curious as i just got mine setup and like timur said with the torque app, the bluetooth is not shutting down and is eating battery in FI mode.

Did I see a few pages back that you are going for the jdm/edm front end conversion. I'm super interested in seeing that. I've always wanted the sprayer headlights but that is a pricey swap needing everything fenders forward

So I am now running timur kernal for android 6.0. I am stuck because I can't figure out what I am supposed to do to setup vcam for my backup camera? Anyone help?
