This is aggravating

App called photo resizer. It's free and works great. -
Overboosting big time spec.b
Marvick08GT replied to Jackk3's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
The pill increases boost, doesn't lower it. So if it was missing your boost would be low. I am guessing as long as the ebcs is functional and the line from the turbo T to the bcs is good, you either have a bad actuator (can apply pressure to verify function, or a stuck wastegate arm.) You can rule out the electronics by capping the line off that goes to the ebcs (this would run all of the pressure from the turbo to the actuator, should be about 8 psi if the actuator or wastegate is functional) -
Not really, I already have the group N trans mount and Perrin pitch stop though. I think the entire group N setup would probably be great. Lots of people install the mounts incorrectly and increase binding (NVH) You have to remove the pitch stop and make sure the engine is settled before you tighten the lower nuts on the subframe.

"Control arm bushings are terrible and ball joint might be as well and I'm wondering how likely that is." Don't the control arm bushings and ball joints keep the wheels on the car? I would say that could definitely be an issue with your high speed vibration. Good thing mevotech makes some inexpensive replacements. That being said, you should have a trained technician look at your car if you are not interested in replacing everything, one component at a time. Good luck with the issue, keep us updated.

VF52 swap question
Marvick08GT replied to luckybullitt's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
I would get one. That being said your tuner should have recommended one as well. The factory BCS is craptastic! -
Installed the differential and carrier bushing inserts. HUGE difference, although the car just hit 185k today lol. Had to drop the subframe down substantially to get a good 6 point socket and breaker bar on the nuts. Wish the superpro subframe bushings were here, I could have installed at the same time! I have a perrin pitch stop and group N trans mount already. Still need to install the group N motor mounts(waiting on the nuts to arrive smdh.)Be safe all!

Cat vs Resonator
Marvick08GT replied to samuel082799's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Exhausts run 3" until the split to the mufflers. Then it is around 2"-2.5". The invidia 3" is listed as 76mm (3")/60mm (2.35") after the split. Good luck! -
Trying to Pass Emissions...
Marvick08GT replied to mgordon's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Just get a tune. If all they do is plug the OBD2 in, you are set. -
I am doing something similar, but I have a sedan so I grabbed a wagon bottle for cheap (has both pumps) and will be using that, a button and a digital timer board to run it 6-10 secs on press. Wiring is all there so all I had to do was grab the wire from the column. On suggestion from a few friends, picked up numerous misting nozzles to try out. If the misting nozzles don't pan out, will grab a couple of the sti nozzles. Quick questions, 1) Is that a GS splitter? 2) Did you have to use a check valve? Looks good

CYL4 Coil pack install
Marvick08GT replied to mjfjuliano's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
The trick is to rotate it 180* to clear the frame rail and then rotate it back when you are clear of the rail. -
Blow By How much is too much?
Marvick08GT replied to chessyB's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Completely normal sir. Be safe. -
A/C idler pulley squeak
Marvick08GT replied to Rittmeister's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Shameless plug I have a Dayco metal pulley for sale (BNIB) in my FS thread. It uses an NTN bearing which is Japanese as well.
