bill harvey Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 So the new engine and turbo is in so i finally got to drive it after buying it broken 3 months ago. i am really surprised how refined it is , The handeling is alot better than i thought it would be stock. this will be a great ski and family hauler. I need to get it tuned because i was underwhelmed by the stock power being that the last turbo subaru i had was my 98 2.5rs with a ej22t block and the stock dohc heads running a vf 30 and 18 psi on a link plus stand alone. i can certainly feel the extra weight the gt carries around also. Hopefully i will be pleased with a good stage 1 tune from bren. but all in all a great car far more refined and grown up than what i ripped around in durring my early 20's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demo243 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Go directly to stage 2, do not pass go, do not stop at stage 1. Good call... went stage 1 on my first LGT... was fun... but.... On the second LGT... went straight to stage 2 definitely worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGT_Ltd_wagon Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 yeah not sure how far i will take it being a 5eat I have 2 Stage 2 (cobb OTS 93) 5 EAT wagons 05 & 06 with no tranny issues and I'm pretty happy with the power definitely a lot better that stock or Stage 1. I would say I drive pretty hard as far as street driving goes the 06 was dynoed at ESP @230 whp I forget the torque # As long as you go relatively conservative stage 2 you should be fine My 2 cars are as follows 05: Cobb Catted DP invidia UP stock cat back K&N panel filter Cobb 93 stage 2 MAP 135,000 mi 06 Cobb Catted DP Cobb UP Cobb Mid & Y and AVO wagon twin mufflers K&N panel filter Cobb 93 Stage 2 MAP 65,000 mi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
