I don't knew anything about them, US was 6spd manual only

You have an auto?

Can it improve throttle response also?

Sorry I don't know the answer to that, if the throttle is electronic I imagine it could, but like I said I'm not sure, I'd have to look into it.

I'm not sure about your ecu, but the whole point of the accessport is it re maps the ecu. And it capable of far more the just a boost gage. Mine is set up to monitor boost, air/fuel and rpm right now. There are a bunch of things you can monitor and you can data log as well. For me it's been one of my best "investments" so far. I didn't actually buy it though, the gf got it for me for Christmas she enables me and I love her for it. Was planning out my stage 2 but I got laid off so that's on the back burner for now.

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 ).

If it's collecting to much dust, I could be interested in dusting it off and putting it to use.

Hmm may look into that later, like later later, parents don't want me physically modifying my car/replacing/installing parts. I think software is the best I'm gonna get...

Even just a stage 1 map is a nice improvement. Still requires buying the accessport though which isn't cheap. But worth it.

What's it doing in the basement?

But yea, when I recently had my car dyno'd the max torque was higher than the max hp. Can't remember the numbers at the moment, I'm just running the cobb stage 1 map

That's what trucks and SUVs are for!

The turbo and it's location are different. 5th gen LGT turbo is right off the manifold, no up pipe. It's why they spool so fast

The by pass valve in our cars, and someone correct me if I have this wrong, runs directly from the turbo outlet to the intake a few inches from the turbo.

It is hard to get to in a way. But yes if you changed the bov you'd want to get a tune. Fine times for fun I'll let my WRX vent to atmosphere but it runs either rich or lean I can't remember and it stalls. Sounds good though hahaha

I wish I could get my dealership to order me the TS badge, but from what I've read, it's not possible

That spoiler is really growing on me. I like that it's not outrageous. I do really like my trunk lip spoiler, but that is just, well it's different, and I like it!

Just realized you don't have the 2.5 GT badge

I say do it! The spray on tint I used can easily be removed, so if you have any problems with it just remove it.... That's my 2¢

I may darken mine but I'm not sure to what extent it is legal here, I would assume just standard window tint could work?

I don't know about where you are, but I'm pretty sure even here mine are "illegal" just no one cares enough

I agree with you on how great the speakers are, and that it could use a sub. It really isn't to hard,I used to do stereo installs, but it really doesn't NEED it.

Welcome to the forum by the way, I see you are new. There's a lot of great information here and some really good people.

Thanks! Your's looks pretty clean, digging the tinted/burnt lights.

The headlights I opened and painted, tail lights I used the spray tint.

Thanks a lot, it's a work in progress as usual right

Looks great man

Looks nice, I don't recall seeing a spoiler like that on any other 5th gen I've ever seen. Like to see some pics of the over all car!

Absolutely enjoying the snow! And there are more employees than customers in Wal-Mart haha

I meant that I really love my car and wouldn't get rid of it. I used for the world but then after thinking about that, there are points that I'd give up the world.
