Look for two small black clips underneath your dash. somewhat where your right knee would be? Plug em in and turn the key on with engine off and see what she flashes

Re: Strange noise from turbo

When i was home 6 months ago, my friend had a newer 08 WRX and just installed his uppipe.He called me up because it was making a crazy sound very similar to what your describing. The flange on his uppipe to turbo was slightly warped, and would begin to leak out air and made a crazy weird noise like ...

Re: cat clogged? help please

Hmmm, maybe take out the 02 sensor and try running her to give her a lil more breathing room.

Have you tried checking the engine computer for codes?

Re: only 5 lbs of boost now whats causing it edit code 41

I would grab a DMM and test your water temp sensor and go from there. The likelyhood of it being the injectors or PCM is not very high.

Re: Legacy sport starting issues!

After some more discussing with some local car guys, i really think its the idle air control valve. About, 30-40% of the time, the car will have a very high idle when driving. (If i am in first and go to shift into second at 3000 RPMS, the engine stays at that RPM and sometimes will slowly, slowly c...

Re: Install Apexi AVCR

Another quick question (maybe not so quick) I installed the AVCR this morning. Should i have left the factory subaru boost sensor there? I removed it completly and now am using just the apexi. I have it set up as show in the manual, but the car wont build more than 4 PSI in any gear. When it hits 4 ...

Re: AVCR, Wideband, Exhaust, steering wheel, GPS

3 inch exhaust, catless, stainless steel. Unknown brand, very well built.

100$ is the price of shipping, so add that to the price of the exhaust and we've got a deal.

Re: Install Apexi AVCR

Apologies for being a newb, but with the purple wire, if i use this to monitor injector duty cycle instead of RPM, will that hinder the AVCR's ability to control boost? Or is this wire just used for monitoring?

Re: engine tunning options? / data loging, Im Lost

Data logging A/F ratios is easy with widebands. I have a Innovate LM-1 for sale, if interested. Also have a apexi avcr boost controller that allows you to monitor injector duty cycle.
