Don't bother has a coolant tank which acts like a heat sink when the car is off anyway + it is oil and coolant cooled!

Yep, the popular opinion is that turbo timers aren't really necessary in these cars. The owner's manual does mention allowing the car to idle for a bit after hard driving though, so it couldn't hurt.

Good to know! I still will let her idle after boosting, as always. Do WRX downpipes bolt right up to the VF11?

It's far from new, but its new to me! How much boost pressure are these air to water intercoolers efficient for?

Sexy SEXY sexy, LOVE these cars with the 98-99 GT rims on them!

Grats on the purchase! affraid I'm not terribly strong on the whole turbo knowledge thing. much less air to water intercoolers. I know a couple people on the sight run them so Im sure SOMEONE can answer that for you.

Thanks! The rims are 16 inch's off the newer Subaru legacy GT, BD style. They can be found for pretty cheap!

Yeah, I love my Forester flat blades, but I think the GT rims look real classy and the most OEM. I think they would have sold more of these cars originally if they had come with those rims, though I realize 16" were a little more exotic at the time.

lol at 16" wheel being exotic. It's true though. Now cars come with 18-20+ inch wheels factory. I think anything bigger than 17" is almost always just ridiculous.
