grimlin Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 So I picked an '09 Legacy SpecB about two months ago. Mods so far: Perrin TMIC Grimmspeed 38mm External Waste Gate Perrin Downpipe (which will be replaced with a Grimmspeed dp in 2weeks) Magnaflow Exhaust GM 3port bcs Lightweight Crank pulley Tuned Opensource by Keith (www.awdtuning.com) We put a conservative daily driving tune on it, since I'm changing a few things next week and I'm running on a patched tire (building a house next door ) but I'm still pretty happy with the numbers. Running 248whp and 288ft-lbs of tq. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous1 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Nice setup, no trouble with the Grimmspeed EWG UP install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimlin Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 well.. funny you should ask. From what I understand there isn't a bracket that fits the newer turbos.. yet. But since Keith is a Grimmspeed dealer, he had a few brackets sitting around and he used a VF bracket and modified it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Very nice setup! What advantage is there with EWG on a stock turbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grimlin Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Yeah, I know that there isn't alot of advantages with the stock turbo, but I wanted the noise and I had one sitting around in the garage just collecting dust. (it's off of my husband's car which is currently under construction for a build) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShad0w Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Very nice setup! What advantage is there with EWG on a stock turbo? Basically - It produces a more efficient environment for any turbo. It bleeds off unnecessary hot exhausts that are no longer required to maintain target boost. It also helps regulate creep, prevents over boosting, and helps spool the turbo as fast as possible.

grimlin Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Is the Grimmspeed dp in production? I have been watching for it for a little while. No, not yet. It's still in development. My husband is a Grimmspeed dealer and we are testing out the new downpipe. I've had it in my garage for about a month, but it doesn't fit the legacy.. yet. They are fabbing a mid-pipe extension for my car so it will fit. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
