Anyone make a setup that still fits behind stock wheels? have my winter tires on stockers.

Agreed that sounds awesome!

Don't over torque the banjo I forgot I broke mine lol

Easy install works great.. 20k miles on kit and new bnr20g no probs at all.

^ what he said. It's pretty much just our transmission + 1 gear. You really get nothing out of it other than the ability to say you have a 6 speed.

^ stock exhaust?

actually without a tune your car will not be able to compensate the fuel tables enough to keep the car from running lean iirc you need to ATLEAST scale your injectors to 25% smaller then they really are or add more fuel to the entire open loop table.

Yes you're exactly right... the by-product is more fuel is more fluid phase changing to liquid. It basically works as an octane boost & water/meth injection. I mean with meth injection do you shoot 30% more fluid in??? nope....

e85 helps because the extra fluid obsorbs more combustion energy. PV=nRT where n & r are constant So drastically reducing (T) reduces either pressure (P) or volume (V) (more like flow rate in this case) or both thus making a formerly choked turbine more efficient.

grrr... so its happened to this car before... and they won't fix it again under the recall which i think is bull...

Half the vid is with the cutout open, half is with it closed. on a catless downpipe If that's not good enough i'll do mine fore you sometime this week although i don't know how well an iphone does with sound.

Any cat-less guys have an exhaust that doesn't have the crackle too it? Thanks.

it still had me pull it out in my instructions, that line feeds other things too so if it is blocked... it'd blocking flow to something else too.

ok so i have the blown relay issue... i was also wondering if this could cause about a 9 watt power leak if the ECU is shot because of it. Also... do you think they'll replace it if the car is stage II or will they see my shinny downpipe and blow the whistle?

ok... my GMS inlet trick.. SHOVE inlet through with turbo off, adjust turbo and TIP to get them aligned... clamp them down .... while turbo is still off... wrestle with bypass valve connection Wrestle turbo onto up pipe... bolt down then proceed with misc lines... it was a bitch but i felt it was nearly impossible any other way... it seems like it was made for a jdm car with no tgvs or something. not gonna lie after wrestling with the inlet pipe i was about to swear off gimmick but their copper gaskets work damned well.

anyone have any tips with a friggin gimmick turbo inlet ??? WILL NOT BUY AGAIN (couldn't afford anything else though since it wasn't really by choice that i'm replacing it... the turbo sucked in a piece of plastic from it. I swear i can either get the inlet on or get the oil drain lined up, if i replaced the oil line with one ~2" longer would the S it makes restrict oil flow too mucht?

how long do you run your oil? you may want to look into an AOS or something, it sound like you're running low on oil or you have a pickup issue or something.

I want to post another private video back so you get the same sense of elation and soul crushing boredom i just had. humph...

well the UP i got also had stripped studs so i was going to have to rig up something on that end too which i didn't really want to do. Speaking of which if anyone wants an up pipe i spent hours removing the studs from (could be bolted or tack-weld some bolts to the bottom of it) for cheap lemme know. i think i got $50 and 1 hr labor in it.

^^^ lol... i'm aware... my guess is a set of 6x6 & 4x4 calipers along with everything else they would need probably costs more then the rest of my car including mods (even if i was given msrp for parting out everything other than the car lol)

I had an aftermarket UP that i got off nasioc that i was going to use, but i like the heat shields on the stocker... so i told myself i'd spend some time tying to poke the cat out of the up... and it took about 2 hours. And that was only using my cordless drill and a dremel. http://webpages.charter.net/baraboo_halls/auto/wrx/up/uppipe_fix.html just make sure to do the wire wheel part because there was lots of metal debris stuck on the edge that had to be polished off to make sure it didn't go through the turbine.

so the 08 unit is not plug and play ?

do you have any videos of that car from inside?? Sounds awesome outside though!!

Crap. My horn is shorted too i can't see where you pulled the harness either... grrr

what did your custom system sound like? What stuff did you use?
