Where are you located? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Honestly if I hadnt had all of the information my dealer probably would have told me there was nothing as well. I wouldn’t even bother with SOA. I paid like $100 for this or something. You just need a dealer with some intelligent techs. I spoke with someone over the phone for a half hour before I even scheduled this. The guy happened to be a 4th gen enthusiast as well and was interested in helping. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha I see that. I’m gonna keep my legacy but I’ve been browsing around all day looking for new ideas for a new car. Also toying with the idea of importing something but not sure if I even want to get involved with that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have actually been thinking about getting a civic project car now that you mention it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You have a point. Spend all this money just to be unreliable and blow up when I could go buy some jdm monster or other platform and just go to town. This isnt my daily, just a fun car but I do see what you are saying. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah we didn’t do any side by side pulls but I just didn’t seem much faster. I would obv tune right after I got the turbo. I already have a 320 lph pump and 1050x injectors. I just feel like I want a little more. Not just to beat him. I just noticed it yesterday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Update Transmission still shifting smooth. Not one bang since the update. Only downside is my valve body doesn’t seem as firm but honestly that’s probably how it was supposed to be from the get go. If anything changes I will update again but all is good for now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I called soa a few weeks ago. They won’t do anything for you. I found this stuff called sticky dash fix. There were a few cars that used similar dashboards and all had the same problem. Not sure if it works but it looks like one of the only options other than replacing out of pocket. Dealer quoted 500 for the dash and 700 labor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I recently had my car tuned and it made 306/375 with a vf52 on a mustang dyno. Since it’s been nice I have been driving it a little more and it’s already starting to dull. I went cruising with my buddy in his Rsx type s yesterday and it didn’t seem like I was much faster than his stock car. Big sad. He def got me in the corners too. Legacy just feels like a boat sometimes. My question is. What stock location turbo is going to get me 400/400 to the wheels. That is the max I really want to go because I don’t plan on building the block and I am running a slightly built 5eat trans. I have looked up rotated turbos and it is a lot of money to switch everything now and I wont be able to throw some monster turbo on it anyway. I would like a stock location vf style connection. I saw a Garrett 3076r from atp turbo that would probably get me there. That runs about $1800 bucks. Any other options out there that would get me where I want to be? Also will I still be able to use my same aftermarket inlet with these larger turbos? I know there are turbo threads but they kind of trail off to irrelevant subjects and I am tired of searching.

Behrents is like 10 min from me actually. Maybe I’ll go over there and see what they have. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was thinking of this. Ordering a bunch of AN fittings and hose but I honestly have no idea what these sizes are or what I would need. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No you’re correct. It seems they add hundreds of dollars to the full kit price for giving you $10 worth of hoses. I was going to piece together my own system. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah radium is nice. I kind of wanted to keep it cheap and go w the duals tho. Just wish there was more info out there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So here is a crappy picture I drew of how the system is routed. Yes I know the crossover is on top but it was getting too jumbled. Where do the catch cans fall into this system? Is it just the breathers that get messed with or the entire pcv system too? I wish I had investigated this more a few weeks ago when my intake manifold was off so I could get a better picture of what is going on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why isn’t there a walkthrough anywhere for dual catch cans on an ej255? Every post I find is unclear and has no pictures or ones that don’t help. I’ve search thru years of legacygt posts and wrx posts and came up with very little. Mishimoto has a video but it’s terrible. Am I missing something? I’d really like to do the catch cans but have been putting it off for some time because I can’t find good instructions. Maybe there is something out there that I haven’t found. If anyone knows of an actual walkthru please post the link. It will help me and I’m sure many others. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I noticed that I have the tiniest leak on my turbo oil feed line. It’s tight so I’m unsure why it is leaking so I figured I should replace it. Is there a specific kit to replace just the top section? I saw a lot of different types of lines. Just unsure of the sizes. I’d rather a braided line than the oem one. Anyone replace this before? If so maybe drop a link if you could. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Could be This one specifically mentions the legacy/outback and tribeca but it could be the same issue with other years. The actual update that was done though was a completely different file than the ones mentioned in that tsb. So it’s been updated since. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I should add if I haven’t already. THIS IS FOR 08 ONLY There may be updates out there for other years but this is specifically regarding the 08 5eat tcm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay so I have come to the conclusion that doing your own tcm reset doesn’t do squat. The dealership does a sequence of things when resetting the tcm. It has you put it in all the gears, press brake and handbrake at certain times. Without the select monitor handheld. You cannot do this correctly. Just resetting and driving doesn’t correct problems. It is still using old data in the tcm. This is all according to Subaru. If you are going to do this. Just go the dealer. I also brought a tsb with me and had them check the tcm for updates. If you do not ask. The likely won’t check. I was ready to leave today and asked him if he had done an update. Which I had specifically asked for and they hadn’t. He took it back in and sure enough there was an update for 2-3 shock shift correction. The first picture I am posting is the tsb that I found on the internet. Since then there has been another update. The .pak file is different and was updated a year later. The second picture is the update I received today Sorry about the the second one being cutoff but that is what they printed for me So when driving home. He instructed me to stay in intelligent mode and do not give it more than 10-15% throttle. This was kind of impossible for me because you really can’t get up to speed with that throttle. He said as long as I stayed under 30% and eased into it. It would be fine. Said to drive about 10 miles this way. Obviously stopping every so often and starting back at first gear and working your way up. DO NOT USE MANUAL MODE!!! LET THE TCM DO ITS JOB DURING THIS Drove all the way home (28 miles) and it shifted as smooth as butter. Not one bang shift. Not one bang downshift. I stayed in 10-30% throttle the entire time It seems that my issue is corrected. The bangs only really happened at very low throttle so today’s scenario was when it would happen. Obviously I’ll know more as I drive it more and am able to go into sport and sport sharp and give it some sauce. As of right now it seems okay. I urge you to just go to the dealer if you haven’t already for this issue and inquire about the update. If you look at my first pic it shows you which 08 vins were affected. They charged me 1 hour labor. Totally worth if this solves everything. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue and I will update this as I learn more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s for the 2-3 3-2 slam shift. New software supposedly corrects it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Going to the dealer today to address TSB 11-90-08. Hopefully this should clear up any bangs I have in second to third. Hopefully it was never done and this solves my last issue. Having a proper relearn done in the lift after that. I’ll let you all know if it made a difference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The bracket is just a pain if you need to do any work in there. It was easier to not put it back and extend 1 wire. Btw if you’re in there doing all this you might as well do the secondary air pump delete. After all you’re gonna need a tune anyway so now is the time. All you need is a block off kit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah. That’s exactly what I did. I figured as long as I’m removing everything. I might as well remove the fuel brackets and get new injectors in. Just one thing to note. That tgv ground. On the drivers side. If you don’t put the bracket back you will have to extend the ground. Make sure you clean the area super well that you plan on grounding too I didn’t and after a few days my accessport started flashing. Then I did a big pull and the car shut off and would restart. That ground is very important. It’s literally a giant paperweight without it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine did the same. So I deleted them and put fresh gaskets on the head and manifold Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
