mikew1484 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Subscribed... My warranty is ending soon and located in the Seattle area so easy to work directly with AVO should I decide to go the route of Turbo... Plus I got a good bonus for work so that is giving me more incentive to blow some money Interested to see your initial thoughts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC5.2 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Do you think it will be worth it? For $3k, couldn't you have traded in and gotten a similar year GT?

bmx045 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 just curious how much boost can the motor take. i know EJ25Ds from my generation legacy sure couldnt handle any pretty much wastegate boost, 3-5. I wouldn't go any higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Do you think it will be worth it? For $3k, couldn't you have traded in and gotten a similar year GT? This. And that's exactly what I did. Now I'm near 300whp for less total cost than the turbo kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryouske Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 I could have yea except I don't know what place incurs have traded in my legacy for a gt and only owed 3k lol at least around ma.

My car is only worth 12500 and the lowest priced gt locally is 20k so a turbo kit is way cheaper. Especially when you factor in tax and license and all the interest paid in financing... Unless I am the only guy that does not have 10k laying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryouske Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 I mean don't get me wrong I have spent about 9gs on my Car but that's with new wheels and tires coilovers sways intake lights fog lights and soon the turbo so to me it's money worth spent because my car is basically done now. It's what ice wanted for a long time a quick little car that I can have some fun with on the weekends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be rude but this thread isn't "why didn't you buy a gt?" it's supposed to be about my thoughts on the turbo kit on the car. I understand that this will be in the disussion but my point is to find angle with 80k isn't always an easy task. And I just would rather drive the car till it dies. It's nice not to have car payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyjneilson Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 ^ noticed the exact same thing man.100k miles:lol: . but Honestly I am excited to see how this turns out... I really like the idea of heading to the track with a "2.5i" and throwing down some good numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Good luck then! I hope it's what you want.

LosAngelesLGT Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 x2 I hope its what you want and provides smile inducing results on the butt dyno more than anything. Nothing wrong with being different if you have realistic goals. Sub'd for sleeper status among sleepers. Very interested to read OP's review/opinions of the finished install/tune.

Ryouske Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 That's all I'm going for is smiles! I know its noting going to be a "OMG I CAN BEATZ STIS!" But I'm hoping it will still continue to be a reliable car and be fun to drive. Hopefully the kit will be here soon. I am getting very anxious! I just want it here, in my Legacy, NOW. If I can make it over 200WHP I will be very pleased! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need a shop to install the items in MA let me know, i have the resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestratomaster Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 It depends, with you, he'll have to start from scratch on your current ECU map. LOL Tell him I sent you and he might lighten up on you BTW he tuned my 09 2.5i Legacy when I had it... what tune did you get on your 2.5? Just out of curiousity. OP, Super pumped to see this install. You should have a slick car when it's done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something reliable with decent power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
