For those suggesting to use the pop-its to supplement the existing screws, what's the benefit of doing that over just using more screws in between the existing screw locations?

Can someone provide a link on what a pop-it is? Getting no hits on a google search other than the firecracker things you throw at the ground. Hard to hold on a spoiler with those, right?

Best match for the stock motor is a TD05H-18G hybrid in the VF-54 housings..

Does anyone have a idea of what vendors sell this type of turbo? Thanks in advance.

I thought flex fuel still wasn't an option for us? Or has that changed?

 

I have same understanding, but Cobb has some for other models just out. Maybe someone will attempt to fit for our cars.

^ Mucho Gracias FLlegacy.

But.. If I get just an E85 tune and a separate 91 octane tune, what would happen? Do I need to let my car run to empty and refill with 91 if caught away from e85 with a quarter tank?

Trying to do my due diligence before I consider an e85 tune. Sounds like waiting for a flex fuel solution is best so far.

Given the scenario where you have both an E85 tune and 91 octane tune, what happens if you have a tank of e85 and then find yourself not having access to e85 and having to fill up right away or risk running out of fuel?

If i'm understanding correctly, the flex fuel option would automatically account for the mixture in the tank?

Thank in advance.

The issues with the V are -

> avg 9mpg. Occassionally 10. T - E - N. (granted in my LGT I avg only 13

That is a big one for me. Need at least 15mpg. There are too many good cars. 10 is ridiculous.

Fahr-side did say hi-flow CATTED J-pipe... but hey its just the air we breathe

Oh. yes. I was never a good listener (reader). But I did put a cat in the resonator even though technically I could pass the sensor smog we do here. I added a couple of seconds to everyone's life in our town i'm sure.

No, a high-flow catted J-pipe is worth every penny. You really don't want to run more than about 16psi with the stock cats in the way.

Glad to know I was correct in getting the catless J-pipe last year. Didn't know how smart I was.

We ended up flipping out our 2010 LGT..

Meaning it crashed or you sold it?

The new Kia Stinger GT looks pretty sweet. Choice of turbo I4 or twin turbo V6, AWD or RWD.

Will this be sold in the US?

I've never been able to measure a gain from a CBE on the 5th gen, even when running 18G turbos. Nothing that stood out from the noise anyway. The stock system works surprisingly well and IMO all you need to change is the J-pipe.

Do you think this holds true with a TBE as well?

I bought a CTS V wagon to replace my beloved LGT wagon. ...

 

Anyone else had a similar experience and just .. came home to mama (Subaru)?

I was thinking if only I could afford a V wagon, how great it'd be. Now, your statements have me scratching my head and i'm glad you shared your thoughts. What is expensive? the monthly note? fuel? insurance? all of the above?

Your Subie was an EAT too? just like my old FXT. It was in an odd way more fun to drive than the LGT. I'm thinking the gearing is different - more low end acceleration. First gear in the LGT is useless really.
