Comunication. The End! Get over it, if the spelling is so bad you can't understand it that's a problem. If you can understand what is being comunicated, live with it. I'm not going to say that learning the correct way isn't a good idea or worth learning. Being able to comunicate ideas and feelings i...

I think the other way about Laurel's job. She has a better chance than a guy of manager. I also don't think many car guys are threatened by a cute girl that likes cars....

I have two jobs right and am happy to say I don't deal with customers at all

Lower octane gas has more energy than high octane. The additives used to raise octane have less energy than the gas they are mixed with. I can't fathom running anything but 92 in my car. The difference when you fill up is only a few bucks. That $2 will be spent without thinking on coke and candy bar.

I think I've seen some kind of glue for fixing fuel tanks. It would hold up to being in fuel all the time.

If I was going to paint a Legacy for rally I'd go for a retro look. Not just a copy of an old rally car but try to get the flavor of the early 90's rally look.

My favorite yellow came on Triumph motercycles. It's tits.

So far I'm happy with my Perfect Power. I have fuel and timing control, can run extra injectors or the boost control solenoid off it. I have not done much for tuning because all I have on my car is 3" exhaust. After the 440cc injectors and AWIC goes on I'm going to push the stock turbo pretty h...

If I remember it's close to 1/2" and I just used straight heater hose.

Yes when I get time I'll machine a restrictor that will slip in the MAF. I hope to size it so that it will run my 440cc injectors OK. I can trim with my piggy back ECU but I want more range and it would be nice to not need a ECU to at least run 440's for the rest of you. The guy I was talking about ...

YES!
I might be going to a wedding Sat but I live 1hr or so from the camp.

Try simple first.
I have heard of a guy that ran his boost control solenoid via pressure switch. Said it worked fine and held boost good.

If you feel like doing all the work I'd say go for it.
I wouldn't rebuild the turbo, just run it. If it smokes rebuild it. With a rotated mount it should be easy to get out.

I'm with BAC5.2 and will be going to an easy fit turbo upgrade.

Maybe I should keep my bugeye, I hate each new year Impreza more than the last. At least the Legacy looks good again.

Well the ECU won't use the O2 sensor data at WOT so.... it's not going to adjust for the real AFR.

Have you raised the fuel pressure any? That will let you get more out of your injectors.

I can't believe how insensitive all of you are of the learn'd impared. Shame on you to judge them just because they sound stupid on the internet. Funny story about spelling. One of my best friends is a girl I have know for a long time. She grew up and became a teacher, an English teacher. While I wa...

The ECU has no way to measure the AFR.

I took readings at Stock boost, AFR goes up to around 10.5 and stays there. Mods are 3" exhaust and it doesn't feel like 14 psi did.....

I got the 441 with 02+ install kit.

No mods, fits like it should, plug it in and go.

I can't spell because I didn't go to school......

This has got to be the most relaxed car forum on the net, so just do a quick search before asking a question and you're golden. Also remember that the US Legacy's turbo engine is a lot different, so we might not have very good answers to some things. Good to have you on, and I just have to ask but I...

I'd rather a Reagal T type. It's only a straight line car, I'd not own one to drive every day. That and my hair would take a long time to grow out to a mullet.

Yes the WRX kit fits like stock. It even uses the same plug.

Well I spent a lot of time working on cars. Saturday I got my car running. Coolant tank, 3"exhaust, wbO2, knock sensor. That was great because it's not sitting in my garage any more. Sunday I worked on my old Legacy, helped Nick pull the engine and replace the clutch. I have to say I'm getting ...

I can tell you that stock AFR goes to about 10.5 at full boost.

When I get another wbO2 sensor so I can hook up my wb to brothers/friends cars, I'll try to get it on my old SS and see what the AFR's are.

Thanks for thinking about what Memorial Day is about. Don't forget but have fun. I'm going to a machine gun shoot

Yes.

But the water in an AWIC deadens a lot of the sound. I think FMIC's are louder than TMIC's most of the time.

Good news! I got my coolant tank fixed, wired in my wbO2, replaced the knock sensor and got my three inch exhaust on. Exhaust is an Invidia DP and Perrin cat back. I ran the wbO2 sensor in the stock WRX O2 bung. Started it up and it ran a lot better. Checked the codes and still have the knock sensor...
