OEM?

Indeed.

I just purchased one from Infamous(msprank) $140 to my door.

I wish my rbp paint looked like that. I need to figure out how to properly use this porter cable buffer.

It happened at Harris Teeter by Hobby Lobby, while I was shopping. Its pretty bad, knee high gouge down the passenger side and broken mirror LED lens.

@ Cone_Killer - you going to hit me back on my PMs about picking up your brake bits?

Sorry, car was sideswipped a few days ago. Dealing with all of that right now

^ Those are all loaded I've never not uploaded them.

New DBA/Stoptech setup for sale if anyone local is interested.

Buy it local?

I'm heading up on Saturday around 4pm

Agreed, 60K on struts is about all of their decent life.

I'll be right down the road... at work

I appreciate the heads up, but I don't do ghetto on any of my cars.

 

Regarding fuel and boost creep. Would a 3-port EBCS help with that? I'm running a Cobb downpipe (bellmouth) so I wouldn't anticipate that causing any creep issues. Typically I've seen creep more with divorced style downpipes.

 

So the interference is with the motor outside the TGV which actuates them?

 

Does the delete improve MPG or is strictly a performance oriented improvement? You'd think more flow = less resistance and better MPG (like UP and DP), but what was the purpose of the TGVs in the first place, fuel economy right?

 

Unfortunately, a 3 port won't help. I am running the largest downpipe made (TXS 4") and it is creeping pretty badly so DP shouldn't be a factor either. In order to counter the creep you would need to run either an external wastegate to eliminate the issue or upgrade the fuel system to compensate for it. In my case, I was hitting 10psi creeping to 16ish on 0% wastegate duty cycle with my injectors were hitting 110% duty cycle at the same time (all on a base map ). I decided to do injectors for added safty rather than control the boost and max out my injectors early. In reality, I should be doing both but I'm poor.

 

Having said all of that, you may not even have an issue like this. Lots of people have been fine on stock fueling.

This place sure is quiet.

Not necessarily. Some people may experience boost creep more than others. Its just something to be aware of when doing an upgrade like this.

Just a heads up, due to the boost creep issues of the VF52 (actually all large VF's) you may run into needing more fuel or an EWG. I opted to go with larger injectors with my 52.

I can't speak highly enough of Dave. We are currently experiencing "complications" (AKA, my car is a POS) with datalogging. He has been more than patient and has helped in every way possible.

 

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

...even though he's making me buy injectors and a wideband

Yeah, something about Tuesday Morning complaining.

Where did they move Cars & Coffee?

Any Subaru dealer techs on here?

 

Long story short, I cannot log WOT. I've tried vagcom, bought a new Tactrix 2.0 and tried both SDcard logging and RR. Nothing! Tactrix seems to beleive that my ecu, for whatever reason, doesn't have the bandwith to send data to the OBD at WOT over 3K. I am thinking about purchasing a new ECU but I need someone with access to the SSM to program the immobilizer. Any help woulb be greatly appreciated (and compensated)

I'll be working unfortunately.

Load tested the battery today, 597 out of 600 cca and 12.97v.... yet another dead end.

I am completely clueless now and I have no idea what I'm going to do about finishing my tune that I just paid for... I may swing by an auto store on my way home and have them load test the battery.
