Well it's been a while since I've updated you guys. Long story short I've been doing a lot with my apprenticeship with the operating engineers and haven't had time to do anything. But that being said I was able to get a few upgrades and some time to read these forums like a nerd! The parts so far... Agency Power UEL headers Cobb catted DP Infamous filtered oil feed line Water pump Timing belt RacerX FMIC KillerB oil tray baffle Cobb 3 port EBCS All gaskets for exhaust. Thickest ones I could find. Most are grimmspeed. And more to come. I do have a few questions about the difference in turbos. Is ball bearing better? I know the 16g, 18g, and the 20g each have their power differences 20 being the best out of those three, but what is the real difference? Is the exhaust side smaller and the induction side bigger? Basically the technical stuff about. I'll search it too but I've always kind of wondered. Here what I found when I pulled the inlet off! A fine piece of jewelry if you ask me! http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/14/f492c8b57cd3ffb9736e9a2a774ba88a.jpg Throttle body juice http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/14/fc4dd9c4c749278dfce30542d8650eb1.jpg And last but not least an old guy in the Cleveland area sporting a LGT! http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/14/f7bc8bc3489b746f05ebf0dc54072193.jpg And any Ohio guys know where to go for a good rebuild shop? I've heard of TPG in PA and EFI. Don't want to put all this money into a shop that has poop builds. I heard bad things about Smokey's Dyno in Canton. But I also heard the got rid of some dudes there to fix the problem. Any input is good!

Do you still have that bad boy?

Looking for a winged trunk BSM 06 lgt. Have wingless. PM me Northeast Ohio

more photos coming i cant seem to upload anymore... saying i have a security issue

Here are some pictures of the Justy, Probe and legacy

Oh yeah I can put stuff together. I am having the motor built by a shop. Everything else is up to me. And yeah I do plan on the main body valves for the tranny. Still undecided about if I should go hexmod or ipt. The turbo yeah I've read to many heart wrenching stories on the VF 40s. Still need to read up and see which turbo I do wanna go with. The brakes are getting upgraded for sure. All that power needs a good way to stop. I've lost my license to this car lol so brakes are a must. As far as tuning. I would go to TPG in PA or infamous since he does AP now. I have a Mac and open source doesn't like macs.

Okay so here's my story... When i was a young lad the blue car with gold rims caught my eye instantly! so back when dial up was big I did as much research as i could on this car. It was love when i learned about AWD, Turbos, and that sexy look of these Subarus. Anyways a few years later when i got my license my uncle offered me his 1989 Subaru Justy. Four door, baby blue, five speed with a selector switch on the shifter to switch into 4WD. I was in love! The only car of its kind and all the kids at school loved it. Long story short the Justy lasted about a year and a half. The front end was falling apart and i couldn't find parts anywhere:icon_sad:. My dad then convinced me to scrap the car bla bla bla. I was young and stupid and regretfully followed suit. Then 3 years later I was in need of a car. I was getting a Subaru no matter what. Found a 2006 Legacy GT limited. The only downfall was it wasn't a 5-speed. but i fell in love with the car like one of those Subaru commercials. Oh and i fell into that scheme and bought one of them there extended warrantys (stupidest thing ever!) The day after I bought the car the car over heated and died on the side of the highway. Note that this was my first turbocharged car, I've done my research and i knew not to go balls to the wall. I didnt even drive it the slightest bit hard or tromp on the throttle. I was a nervous Nancy about the biggest purchase of my life. When it died i wasn't mad because i knew the car would have to be fixed by the dealer. When the car got towed to the dealer they gave me a rental. The Next day the dealership called and said they can give me another vehicle or i can pay half the bill! I asked about the extended warranty and they told me they would give me a call when they come inspect it. So 3 weeks later they call me and they tell me the warranty company denied the claim due to the fact it had an after market turbo in it? :confused:and apparently the warranty doesnt kick in until 30 days after purchase. I went in to look at the tear down of my motor and there was an insane amount of flake in the oil. I only put 35 miles on the car in that one day i had the car... So all that flake came from 35 miles? Whatever I wasnt trying to investigate i just wanted my car. They said i spun a bearing. They still told me i have to pay half parts and labor. I dont give in that easy. Then i got a hold of my buddy's cousin who was a lawyer and he said he would try to scare the dealership and make a threat to them and represent me. NO go, the dealership shrugged it off. One last idea that my step mother gave to me was to contact the Ohio Attorney General. I then emailed the Attorney General and they have a whole reporting thing on businesses and dealerships. I filled it all out and never got a reply back. Three days later I got a phone call from the dealership saying not to worry about splitting cost they are going to take care of it and not to worry. They got a reman motor and they used the same heads and timing belt (which had 70k miles on it). And put that all back in. It only took 3 Months to get my car back! Which leaves me to now. The car needs rebuilt. It was a super cold day in January and I started the car up and went... drove half way to work and the motor started making all kinds of noises like a 5 year old's garage band. wooshing, knocking, ticking, clacking, and the sounds of tear drops hitting my lap. I knew i was in this for the long run. I've always wanted a fully built subaru so this is the perfect time to start. In the mean time i picked up a 1989 Ford Probe Gt with 155xxx miles on it. It's a 2.2 turbo and really fun to drive. Only one owner, the guy was a engineer and this car was in pristine shape. His wife made him trade the car in. He seriously was almost in tears leaving the dealership because he did not want to get rid of it. (by now you know i worked at a dealership, which i quit and I'll never do car sales again in my life(dirty)) The car has no rust on it, everything works, no check engine, and he brought me the shop manual to it and 2 other servicing books. The car also has a stock electronic suspension switch. Back on topic. The only mods I've done Grimmspeed AOS Perrin catless up pipe Perrin LWCP ebay strut bars front and back and defi racer series Boost Gauge. Hence my build plan. Im still researching the exact parts I want but you'll get the idea. BNR 18g *New EJ257 *Cobb Accessport V3 *ARP studs *Group and N motor mounts *Gates racing water pump *Gates racing timing belt switch over to a catch can (still up for debate) *Oil cooler *Oil pump *Avcs oil control valve x2 *silicone vacuum hoses Redoing all hoses *DW 850cc top feed Injector conversion kit *DW 65c fuel pump steel braided gas lines *Areomotive FPR *TGV deletes *Phenolic spacer 8mm *RacerX FMIC *GFB Respose Blow off *tech-Na Steel Braided Brake lines *Turbo Inlet (stock one tore) *Cobb SF Intake and box Sway Bars front and back endlinks *Tranny cooler Hex mod *Cobb catted downpipe *Agency Power UEL headers *Killer b oil pick *Killer b baffle *Killer b oil pan *COBB 3 port Boost solenoid *STI pedals *Rear differential bushings *Infamous filtered oil line kit with avcs line SPT cat back exhaust And need to research more suspension to figure out my set up. *= already have Now I know this is going to be very expensive and time consuming. Some on here might say im dumb for doing all this but this is something I've wanted to do since i hit puberty. Pictures of everything coming later today when I get home. Any words of wisdom are always welcome!
