hesitation with WOT after plugs
Aphex28 replied to msmy300z's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
on partial throttle it's ok? If so it could be as easy as a boost leak. I do see it touching 14psi at WOT, but otherwise it has to be down to the plugs, coils or wiring to them. Were all of your coil plug clips intact or did you have to do the zip tie trick to hold them on? I-wire sells replacement plugs if so. -

yeah I have the same issue I haven't been able to get it to line up after doing my projector retrofit -
As Creep said, none of the WRX turbos will bolt on. Both of the flanges are different than ours on it. (Header flange won't match up, and the downpipe flange is pretty different.

Which TMIC do I want?
Aphex28 replied to Brett_dub's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
Are you running a different radiator to deal with the increased heat load on the cooling system? Which one did you use if so? Also, which ports did you run the coolant from/to for the AWIC? -
Nice!! Heh I'm not quite sure I've seen a BOV recirc line that was so long!

Aphex28 replied to computersoc's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
I got this under tray from carid to hold me up until i got the primitive skid plate and was reasonably impressed with how cheap it was https://www.carid.com/2010-subaru-legacy-underbody-covers/ And i love this kit for clips https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L6FJGR4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_fIrIFbFPBTMM1 It has a lot of clips that actually match with subaru ones, some of them better -
Brake Booster Install help
Aphex28 replied to scroller's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
I can't say for sure, but when I did the brake booster swap in my RSTi many many years ago, it was 2-4 bolts holding the booster and then 1 linking it to the pedal(on the inside of the car). The outside had the bolts holding it to the slave as well as the lines. We had it done in under 3 hours I believe. -

Turn-on Foglights with Parking Lights
Aphex28 replied to developed's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
Well the thread I provided will work. You just have to find a wire that gives accessory(key on 12v) power rather than power from the parking light. The method they use in there is a bit chintzy and sloppy, but it works. It's not the way I would do it, but at least it's reversible. -
Mesh Grille Options
Aphex28 replied to Black2010LGT's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
the panel gap isn't great, but it's only a little bit more than stock if you can deal with that. Really it's basically about how well you drill the holes. The gap that is there in my picture is from the heads of the clips As for the emblem. That's a stock trunk emblem that I bought off ebay. The emblem has 1 female screw hole and a post. For the screw hole I used a screw and a washer and for the post I threaded a nut onto it. I also backed the whole thing with grey mounting tape -
Mesh Grille Options
Aphex28 replied to Black2010LGT's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
I just got that grill from ebay. It took about 45 minutes of some work to get it to fit, but I'm pretty happy with it. You need to drill the holes for the plastic push clips, and I actually cut off 2 of the tabs on the lower part of the grill since I couldn't get them to work the way they wanted it to. IMO it looks better than the stock grill that's been plastidipped plastic albeit about as chintzy. But really I hate the chrome so I'll take either over that. -
Turn-on Foglights with Parking Lights
Aphex28 replied to developed's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
Don't really have exact directions, but really it just sounds like you want independent control of your foglights, as in, the switch inside just turns them on/off regardless of the headlights being on. In practice, it's as simple as providing accessory power to the wire going to the switch/relay for the foglights. Either way, maybe this will work for you https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/5th-gen-independent-fog-light-mod-223969.html -

ISO Legacy GT - things to consider?
Aphex28 replied to olympic1's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
yeah most likely, we think it had a crack in it that would build compression but let oil pass through at higher pressures -

Aphex28 replied to olympic1's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
if you can change spark plugs (easy job IMO) you can compression test. just borrow one from autozone/advanced and you have everything you need -

Aphex28 replied to olympic1's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
yes, a compression test is always good. But it won't really tell all unfortunately. I did a compression test that came out perfect. (My car was eating oil at an astronomical rate). 1 month later, one of my valves had a hole in it that I could almost fit a pencil through. -

Aphex28 replied to SBT's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
installed a new grill last night! Although I think I'm going to spray some satin or flat clear on it rather than the gloss clear I initially used. It's a bit too shiny and sticks out -

Rust? All recalls done? Maybe 11-12k is what's popping into my head, but other people may know better
