Im still Wondering i know the passenger side is still available. I picked it up for $230 from the dealer, all black metal and OEM quality. I know the driver side has been discontinued but i am on the hunt for this part 51415AG03A9P and am in dire need. Anyone have it laying around and looking to part with it??? Appreciate the help.

i would also suggest getting a new atf filter and replacing that, if you have no idea when if it was replaced last, i would replace that as well as doing a drain and fill on fluid. Word to the wise ive done my 5eat twice and only use Subaru OEM fluid.

I got the solid U joint as well. best $20 i ever spent on it, I had the Perrin piece and it did the job but i want it to feel more connected and no rubber bushing between. Ill put the perrin piece on my Daughters OBXT.

go with the Whiteline bushings as well as the perrin steering dampener. World of difference in steering and really tightens everything up.

Never had a problem with mine. Im using the Grimmspeed EBCS and im hitting target boost (20psi) with no problem at all. Car was Pro tuned on a dyno by StiMikey.

where are you located?

i did not have to cut the tie rod ends. I was able to get the car aligned perfectly. i used my 2005 LGT end Links on the 2015 inner tie rods and no cutting was necessary.

Sent you a PM.

Just installed my 2015 STI rack in my LGT. Much easier when the motor is completely out of the car. Did everything but the knuckle. Have to say the responsiveness and control is awesome. Kudos for the upgrade.

Sent him a message, hope to hear back from him.

i am open source. Using ecuflash and rom raider. Will reach out to him. Appreciate the help.

Hey All, looking to talk to a Tuner regarding getting a base map for my ej20x swap. Ej255 finally went after 245,000 miles. Got good life out of it. Have a few go fast bits that will be swapped over to the new motor this weekend.

 

Does anyone recommend one tuner over the next?

i have access to a Taz Lulzbot 3d printer, id be willing to print out some stuff for the group as well.

Issue has been resolved. It was the existing throttle body position sensor. Took the old throttle body off and man it was covered in carbon build up and a film of oil. Swapped it out for a used one that came off a working car my friend had, swapped it over, plugged it in, car idles great, throttle response is back, AFR is stable and gas mileage has returned. Ill be adding throttle maintenance to the records now. Car drives great.

Car was previously tuned on the 16g, after 118k on it it blew a seal and i got a brand new exact replacement 16g. I replaced the peddle assembly from a working LGT my friend had with no difference. I am going to replace the entire throttle body tonight. The spare he gave me i clean up and scrubed any crude off it. Also cleaned the pins for the plug. Fingers crossed this is the issue. If not it will be going to a shop to be looked at and then a re-tune. The AP is unmarried that i got from my friend. I have not married it to my car as i didnt want to mess up anything on the ECU with the exisiting E tune on there.

having a friend hook up romraider this weekend and check everything. I also got a spare pedal from a friend in case its the throttle position sensor on it. Car has been bulletproof since Mike Botti tuned it. The transmission shifts great no issues of slipping. Its the low end build from a dead stop. Shifts fine from first to second and then starts to build boost and then it builds boost but the car doesnt take off like it used to. I also got my friends ap but it is not married to the car, im not sure i can log anything. Also i am getting absolutely no codes what so ever on the scan tool or the AP. A retune was in the future. Smoke test did reveal a leak in the turbo inlet so that is one reason i replaced it.

Yes car has been protuned for 7 years, on the turbo. I did not get the car retuned when i swapped the injectors as they were the same CC from what i was told. car ran great for a few weeks after the injectors. This issue just started around beginning of November.

Hey All, ive recently started to experience an issue and i am at a loss as to what it might be. Back end story, the car is an 05 LGT, stg 2 tuned. Recently just did a brand new 16g and turbo inlet. Replaced the yellow top feed injectors with blue top JDM ones. New Plugs done 400 miles ago, all fluids changed. Had a vacuum leak from manifold to MAP sensor and replaced the hose, did idle relearn and it was fine for 50 miles then the problem returned. Currently has 234,000 miles on it and has run great up until a few weeks ago when this who issue start.

 

Now for the issue, when giving the car gas, i will build boost but car will hardly move. From a dead stop, in sport mode, car will start fine then bog down and build boost at the same time. Ill be at 10psi on boost and only doing 40 mph. This morning, with it being cold here in NY i got out into traffic and the car wouldnt go very fast, literally had my foot to the floor, and had 7psi and was crawling, then the boost hit and the car sped up. I can here the air getting sucked into the intake and all, so i know boost is building. I do have a manual boost controller (yes I know) it works and was recently replaced 6 months ago, car has been running fine with it. Wanted to reach out to the forum and see what else people might have to add. I am swapping the pedal assemblies and seeing if that helps and i am going to clean the throttle body as well. MAF was cleaned as well as the MAP sensor also.

 

Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

How much for just the piping? would u sell just that?

Have a Garnet Red Metallic Trunk looking to give away. Wingless all badges stil on in original condition.

Location Carmel, NY.

 

PM if interested.

I got it all put together, but the buttons didnt fit on the new wheel. No worries anyway. I cut the plug and just used teh cruise control. The stereo buttons arent used yet, Ill wire those up later down the road.

i was hoping to switch the cruise control over and get rid of the stalk to make it a cleaner look. I didnt think the trigger shifters would fit into the contour of the new wheel. Ill be taking mine apart shortly.

Im going to revisit this thread. I have an 08 STI wheel and im going to start the wiring. I have the trigger shifters which i beleive is just a plug, which i will not use any longer. Anyone else have that issue?

i went stage 2 with a BNR 16g turbo, FMIC, DW fuel pump, GoFastBits Manual boost control. Intake, pro road tune and up and down pipe and stock exhaust, just about 325, i could go for more but dont want to risk blowing the 5eat till i do the valve body upgrade.

Imm going to.switch to amsoil 10w40 for the summer. Been using amsoil 5w30 but with 118,000 on the odo im going a little thicker.
