No problem. Just let me know if there are any more specific pics you need.

Here is a pic from overhead. It fits, but not by much. As I am pretty sure you can see in the pic that there is less than a half inch anywhere. I actually had to bend the closest brake line up a tad(mind you I am talking about an eighth of an inch) otherwise there was some vibration under acceleration. It does fit for sure though. http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah113/BBPeik/20160804_180018_zpsvjk48j7u.jpg

Mind you I am just a by stander here, but they have handled this very poorly. Regardless of whether there is indeed an issue or not, they should be very vocal and proactive in trying to resolve the issue instead of hoping it just goes away. Issues like this can create real PR problems for companies. I am hoping this gets resolved for you guys. Either way though I doubt I will ever buy anything from them due to the poor service they have given all the GB members.

^^^Nice, hard to deny that. Good work

Nice, Can't wait to see the end result.

Yeah I do not know if anyone has gone to the trouble of porting the WG on a stock turbo. Why wouldn't you go 18 or 20g if you have the whole thing apart anyway. It would be very interesting to see though. Nameless should correct the issue by only selling a DP package. "Nameless 5th gen downpipe kit $2000.00 with a free 18g turbo included".

Well I changed the frontal area and drag coefficient as suggested. Here is the results. http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah113/BBPeik/Untitled1_zpsfo3qdice.jpg

Sweet thanks I will give that a try tonight. Always with the helpful insight Perscitus. Thanks a million.

Just talked to Bren. He is pretty happy with the results. I am sure they look better on accesstuner pro than on V Dyno. I am going to drive for a week and get him another log, but looks like my motor is about finished with tuning. Figuring a 15% driveline drop in power I would guess about 400/400 at the flywheel. Maybe less, who knows. Not bad for 91 octane and a very calm streetable car. All I really know is that it hauls butt. Thanks for following.

So finally installed my latest revision and ran some logs to send to Bren. Not as happy with this tune as I was the previous, but I am sure all the kinks will get worked out. HP is up on this run and TQ is up towards redline, but lower elsewhere. Curious to see what changes will be on my next revision. One interesting thing is how power keeps climbing right to the limiter and boost stays level right to the limiter as well. http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah113/BBPeik/20g%20rev2_zpsdtupblyd.jpg

^^^Yeah but yours was sitting in the garage looking all pretty. S2's was sitting in the garage in pieces. Not sure which is best.

^^^True, but in 20 years that could be a whole different story. I could care less about right now. Especially you guys with 2012's.

I love seeing how well our cars hold their value. Me thinks they will be a high value car way down the road. Small numbers = High value

I imagine we have raised quite a stink at corporate. I know Steve that is helping me is going to a meeting next week at Subaru's LA offices and is going to bring it up. I would like to be a fly on the wall for that one.

You can pay your reg without having the smog completed. That way the police will see it as current. They will just send you a notice saying you still have to smog it.

The sticker says the year, so that wont work either.

I just talked to the guy at Subaru. I sent him pics of my label and my vin. He is meeting with the zone rep next week to go over the issue and should let me know after that.

I am guessing it is not. When it comes in we will see though. I imagine it will be the exact same sticker he has now.

I just spoke with the Service manager at EC and he is contacting the zone rep to see what to do. He said he will cal me back by the end of the day. Hopefully we can get this worked out. I am only about 10min away from there, so I may run by after work so they can look at it.

Did you go to KM? I may just try to go there since they have knowledge of the problem.

I try not too go to the dealer. I am talking to the tech at El cajon. I will be sure to contact Grant. Thanks for the link. Cody at Kearny Mesa is real good. He used to be the lead tech and now is teh Manager I believe.

Subaru just emailed me back. Basically they said go to the dealer and have them verify your concern. I have a call into the lead tech at my dealer and he is looking into it for me. I will more than likely go by there this afternoon and have them verify my concern. I will keep you guys posted.

If you pull the passenger side fan it is pretty easy to get to. Not a lunchtime thing if you have never done it, but it is not that bad. It is right at the turbo on the charge pipe.

WTF. Talk about passing the buck. Well I emailed Subaru, but still have not heard back from them. Luckily I already was able to smog mine, but if I do not hear back from them soon I will be calling for sure. Seems to me that since this is their problem they should at least get you a loaner until the problem is solved.

I am thinking of doing the same, but with my GT. Find an outback hood and fit an STI scoop to it. Anxious to see how it works out for you.
