TinKnocker38 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I have a 08 MT, never encountered the manifold sensor code. Why would that be throwing a code? As far as the MBC i heard it wasnt necessary since were only running 6psi. Also since youve been there recently Chris might already have a platform to work for my car.

Our stock sensor has a certain range, and once you add boost it will exceed the maximum end. Are you running the base map right now? I tried to go to him without the MBC, but he wasn't very confident with the reliability of just adjusting the waste gate. I got a turbo XS MBC and it allows you to adjust boost up to 10psi I think past the original turbo setting. It's safer and takes no time to adjust the boost level.

Yes i am on the base map still, as far as the knock sensor goes i do have a scanner that clears codes but is there a permanent solution? I do want this to be a safe reliable set up as this is my daily driver, so ill look into a MBC. Thanks 1stick3pedals youve been helping me out now for the past few weeks i appreciate it.

I do want this to be a safe reliable set up as this is my daily driver, so ill look into a MBC. Thanks 1stick3pedals youve been helping me out now for the past few weeks i appreciate it. The permanent solution for me was Chris just turning the code off. As far as the MBC goes, I would call EFI and ask Pete to order one for you so that when you go for your tune it'll just get installed then. No charge for install (literally takes 10seconds to install if even), and then you don't have to pay for shipping on the MBC. As far as reliability my car is good to go. The fuel economy is pretty good considering if you stay out of boost. I haven't recalculated since the last time, but the gas gauge isn't moving much when I stay out of boost on highway trips. I have over 4000 miles now since the turbo kit was installed, no issues. Stock clutch is still going strong as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try and get videos done next week for you guys so that there is a reference for when I get the headers. Once you graduate college and start work, it's hard to find time anymore =\ But I will get some videos, engine revving while warm, drive by, and I'll do my best for some kind of 0-60 pull or similar.

Pawlwawl06 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Is the AVO kit not being sold anymore? I don't see it on the Rallitek site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexjapan Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 It's being sold directly through us, avoturboworld. Rallitek is just a distributor of AVO parts, and at the moment they are possibly going through a change of ownership, so most products have been pulled from their site. Feel free to contact me about any of the kits - I've got kits for the 99-2007 Impreza RS and 2.5i in stock (at the moment, at least) and have two more kits for the 2005-2009 Legacy 2.5i's coming in from about the 8th of November. One of those is spoken for though. Regards, Paul Hansen http://www.avoturboworld.com http://www.facebook.com/avoturboworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stick3pedals Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Just calculated my last tank to have gotten 24.9 mpg If I stay out of boost, which is really hard, I should get 26+ on long highway trips. I will hopefully be able to get some videos this weekend for you guys as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stick3pedals Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Here are 2 videos for 0-60, let me know if they work =S It looks like they were both about 7 seconds 0-60. Regularish kind of start, no launching. 1st gear shifted at around 5k, 2nd gear closer to 6k. If I were to shift at 6k in 1st and 2nd then the 0-60 from a regular start would be closer to 6 seconds, but 7 seconds is pretty good for not going all out. I'm not sure I was WOT in 1st, I'll be honest it makes me a little nervous. I don't typically drive my cars WOT and close to redline lol. I had my gf helping me take the videos, she was getting whipped around by the torque so I hope the videos are good enough! 0-60 take 1 http://imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/560/ti9.mp4/ 0-60 take 2 http://imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/847/4j6.mp4/ Just watched them again, really didn't go all out for these 0-60s. But you can get an idea of what the car is capable of. I'll be getting a couple more videos tomorrow during the day light hours. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stick3pedals Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Start up and revving. I think it came out pretty good http://imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/525/rbx.mp4/ Keep in mind I'm not a professional photographer/video maker haha. Again let me know if these vids work for you guys. If anyone has any requests let me know, I'll be doing a couple more this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethics Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Great videos, I'd love to throw one of these in my wagon in the next year. BTW what exhaust are you running? Been doing some research and there aren't very many options for the 2.5i subies. Mario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowImg Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 why not catback bro? lose power? Not 100% on this, but pretty sure the resonator pipe mates differently to the N/A than the turbo at the cats. At a minimum, the flange diameters are different.

1stick3pedals Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 why not catback bro? lose power? I believe when you go to the 3 inch pipe it does lose a little power. I ran it for 1.5 years and didn't notice a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually read somewhere that axle-back mod for 2.5i may permit +5hp gain... which probably goes unnoticed if true, but does that sound right to u? I wish there were cheap mods i can do to my 2.5i that'll give me at least +10-20 hp without spending thousands... driving auto doesn't help either LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
