What have you done to your car today?

Installed some HKS gear on to the Legacy today, HKS Premium Suction as the box put it  ;) was first, Pretty simple kit of HKS hybrid filter, Stainless pipe and silicone hose and clamps to take away form of the restriction from the filter box to the turbo.

The kit could do with the next pipe as well as it only does about half the length of the whole piping to the turbo. More a Bling Bling mod I would say.

The next HKS kit was a turbo to intercooler one that replaces the entire plastic piping to stainless. Thanks very much @sobanoodle:P, fits the JDM version very well!!

Didn't realise the JDM spec Legacy GT was different... I had a NZ new 2010 Spec.B tuned with ECUTek and a straight pipe catback. 290hp 470nm after tune if you were curious.

I had my resonator cut out of my 2016 STi and replaced with 2" pipe, also has no mufflers so it's pretty damn loud now. Straight pipe from the cat back basically.

^That's now playing on loop huehuehue. Sounds good!
I uh, realised I'd plumbed up my BCS as if it were an external gate. So, I sorted that out, now- I don't know about you guys but plugging green connectors in- One should hear the BCS cycling?  Just seemed weird to me that now it's boosting exactly the same as the old solenoid was.
Though, my understanding is that when no power is applied- the wastegate will see all of the pressure, but when power is applied the wastegate will see none- so I think I'm pretty safe in assuming the brand new MAC valve I got from Link works.


Ah well, tune soon... :D

Popped the hood for a look-see and found a split vaccum hose off the manifold. Had to remove the intercooler to trace where it was going. Went under the Idle Control Valve. Hose replaced. Subsequent random idle issue I was having now fixed - go figure.

 

 

... also ordered some wheels from Japan. B|

Well, replaced plugs on the sti. They had an off brand I've never heard of instead of NGKs so I'm happy I got that squared away. Also got my tactrix cable, wideband, 3 port boost solenoid and egt gauge so hopefully I can knock out some tuning this week.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
