The Turbosmrt Kompact BPV was recommended by the tuner (Bren Tuning) and didn't seem to have any clearance issues with the Rx charge pipe with OEM IC.

How's e-tuning going?

The Rx was a tight fit to begin with. Great job getting this on and ready for tuning. One of the hoses blew off when Bren was tuning the car. Once it was set, never had any couplers come off.

Nice find. any pics?

Still on track for Friday. There's an additional coupler that could be used as an extension if the verticooler sits a little further back than OEM.

The OEM charge pipe is quite a restriction for just the OEM IC. BBPeik - I've got a Racer X charge pipe in storage. I'll send it out to you for a test fit if that's helpful to the insall. PM me if interested.

Yup, stage I 5th gen is stage II wrx. Stage II adds more low end torque. Example: http://legacygt.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=547&pictureid=3586

Yes, the BPV is just above the turbo on the charge pipe. A 3" down pipe, or j-pipe, will deliver turbo spool effects and BPV recirc (tune reauired). Some have replaced the OEM charge pipe with an Rx Engineering one with actedmarket BPV (got one in basement ).

Darn!! Bought them before Christmas but just installed last week

I just installing replacement fogs on the WRX. They look to be 100% compatible with the 5th gen mounting. The ones I picked out have a 90 degree horizontal coverage. The other choice is more to support road illumination up the road. I had gotten these at Subiespeed but they do not appear to be available anymore. Here they are at FT-86 factory http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/olm-vision-drl-led-fog-light-housings-1821.html http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/images/2013-frs-brz-led-fog-drl.jpg Additionally, these have LED strip above and below the fog that can be wired in to be on with the DRLs. I also installed the Laminex overlay to protect the glass. Subispeed has a few other options that you guys may want to look into.http://www.subispeed.com/2015-subaru-wrx/lighting Did I read someone go one of their fogs busted up? If so, PM me as I have two OEM fogs.

Nope, not me... finally traded in the GT for the WRX two week ago.

Spotted a blue 4th Gen, new looking Invidia catback. 8pm, I-95 eastern CT to about Exit 3 in RI. You were running with a white Nissan. I was in the new WRX, its a woose stock over my stage II 5 th Gen, so no playing around with you. Anyhow, you are one lucky dude for not getting pulled over. I tucked in the right lane, you blew by the rest area where the radar trap was. Cop pulled over the white Nissan ....

2010 LGT Stage II 104K miles, presently neutered for trade in ... Male - 52 Systems Engineer Moving on to 6th Subie 1997 OB, 1999 LGT, 2004 Legacy wagon, 07 Outback (still have), 2010 LGT (in cue for trade in), 2015 WRT Limited (arrived at port 10/30, en-route to dealer) Unmarried AP from the LGT the other weekend. A very sad day. The 5th Gen area of the forum has been fantastic. I'll be around to see how the 5th Gen and owners press on.

List approved! Some rotor options for consideration from recommended vendor KNS: http://www.knsbrakes.com/c/car-items/880_2010+Subaru+Legacy+Sedan+-+2.5+GT%2C+3.6+R//5_Brake+Rotors So blink options with slotted and function on Centric Premiums. Pads - you will enjoy the performance of the Carbotec 1512s (bobcats). They cost a little more. If cost is a somewaht consideration, I'd pick Centric premium rotors and the 1512s over bling rotors and different pads.

wicked nice - tune soon? those cats are HUGE! any thoughts to replace with hiflows?

A quick shout out to those in the SF area.

Do you know if Subaru extended PIDs are supported?

Do you have previous plots on the same dyno to document your gains?

Tune that SH@# limiter out!

I was going to ask about that as the plugs as the GT ones are gapped narrower. Any need for a colder plug since your compression is so high?

Yes, no hesitation. A very "mater of fact" statement.

Bump to the top. Earlier this week, had a brief discussion with the folks at DxD South Bend Clutch. One of the topics discussed is the clutch damper. He indicated that several manufactures have a damper. He stated that the clutch damper will cause excessive clutch disk wear for cars with increased torque. Removing the damper is recommended.

So do you think the stock tune was rich?

This is what the manual (2010) indicates: If the brake system warning light flashes, the electronic parking brake system may be malfunctioning. Immediately stop your vehicle in a safe location, use tire stops under the tires to prevent the vehicle from moving and contact your SUBARU dealer. For details, refer to “Electronic parking brake” F7-34. From "Immediately" on is a little over nannying. Just avoid using the ebrake. So check out your manual for more info. Section 9, page 16 indicates how to manually unlock the ebrake if you get to that point. The fun part is to turn the release tool 200-250 times, but not over 300, or it may cause malfunction of the ebrake.... which has already malfunctioned? So you can replace one failure with another.

Indicator is for both low fluid and an issue with the ebrake. You may want to read up on how time consuming it is to manually disengage the ebrake. This would lead one to park in locations with just the tranny in gear until the ebrake has been fixed.
