you would need a tune with a VF upgrade though wouldn\'t you?
-
yeah. very good for such a cheap and easy mod.
-
After playing around with it I have it set to 13psi. I wouldn\'t say boost comes on quicker, but it definitely lasts longer. Turbo sounds a bit more aggressive too. Would recommend.
-
After a few days of driving I am very happy with the result. Feels like a new turbo. Pulls harder and is a lot more fun to drive.
-
installed the atomic and am pretty happy with it - it holds the boost up through the rev range. Have set the boost to 12.5 psi (from 10psi). Hit boost cut at about 14 psi.. haha.
-
went for the gfb atomic. will install it this weekend and let you know how it goes. cheers for the info.
-
That sounds good to me.
-
Cheers guys. The car is my off-road beater so not overly concerned for its welfare. Doesn\'t sound like I will even feel the difference though?
-
Ive got a stock 96 WRX. I was thinking of a boost tap as a cheap way to get more grunt out of it. I have a boost gauge so can monitor boost levels. Any recommendations on manual boost controllers and/or max safe boost for a stock td04?
-
does it both hot and cold.
-
yeah it feels like you need to change down a gear.. but then its fine once you give it some..
-
I\'m using the car as a daily driver at the moment and it has started a slight shudder/splutter when maintaining speed at low revs (pre boost) as soon as you give it gas it goes away. Anyone got any thoughts on what could be causing this??
-
Awesome.
-
Im thinking a half cage might be a good idea.. as there are some banks and lots of mature pine trees where I will be using it.
-
tracked some bull bars down.
-
Also after a Gravel Express factory bull bar if anyone knows of one around??
-
I decided to keep it simple and have ordered 1" strut spacers from Paranoid Fabrication. The gravel express already has more ground clearance than a wrx and I think the 1" spacers plus the biggest off road tyres I can fit will give me enough clearance for where it will be used.
Will chuck a photo up when done.
-
Would the SF5 struts fit straight into the wrx?
-
Would forester suspension bolt straight in? or would I have to use the wrx tophats? anything else I would need other than a wheel alignment if I went this way?

I have a 96 WRX gravel express that is now surplus to requirements and for the money we could get for it it is probably not worth selling, so my brothers and I are tossing up the idea of turning it into an off-roader to use on the trails through our pine forest.
Im thinking decent tyres and a winch (if it isn\'t too much trouble to mount one on the front??)
as its a gravel express I think it will already have enough ground clearance for what we would be using it for, but what are my options for a lift? Forester suspension?
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers!

Cheers guys - Appreciate the input.
I wouldn\'t mind a front pipe with high flow cat but I think the cost will outweigh the benefit.. Exhaust components for this model are very expensive - $2000 for a Borla cat back..
Im thinking a decent tune with 3 different boost levels is the way to go and will get in touch with Torque Performance to get their thoughts.
-
Hi guys,
I have a stock standard 2011 STI and am wanting some advice on some minor mods.
At the moment I am thinking a drop in high flow panel filter (as I have read that the factory intakes are pretty good on these cars) and a tune (at Torque Performance). Or is Gary Capper the man to go to??
I would like to run 3 different maps off the SI Drive. see:
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
Cheers.

144.7KW to 158.3KW ATW. It doesn't sound like a huge increase in power but the overall driving experience has improved considerably. Anyone know how to calculate KW ATW to Flywheel?

Is 144.7kW atw when it was completely stock?
After Subtech Front Pipe and HKS foam panel filter.
