Yeah I knew as much. I think with the tune, if it changes the 'name' or checksum then they'll detect it. with any engine damage i'm sure they'd check. I fully plan to wait until next July when it expires. Next, Car insurance. 30+ year old driver. What do you need to tell car insurance about it? tell them, ok fine but what do you explain to them?

Thanks (& Marky) thats pretty reassuring, happy enough with the 180kw (happy enuff with the 140kw now it seems). I think the downpipe+tune+(maybe pod) will be the extent of it. If I want more, might be better to get an STI, do love the wagon though. Stupid question as I know the answer already, but this would likely void a Winger mechanical warranty?

thats not too spectaular is it? Is stock only 150KW? downpipe + tune + WHAT? = 200kw at the wheels

What would a stock auto Legacy BP5 GTB '07 (with just STI genome exhaust) make at the wheels if you did Down pipe + filter + tune? Do you have to do filter to get gains? (prefer less hassle with stock replaceable filter, no oil on MAF etc)

Fitted Recaro seat to my Legacy BP5, very comfortable and I think with the firmer support the car feels more responsive (more in my head I guess) as you can feel the car better rather than wollowing in the seat.

Legacy BP5, how many ft-lb should the drivers seat rail bolts be torqued too?

At some point is not just cheaper and easier to buy a V5?

I started this thread. Mine was when driving normally and on part-throttle the 2nd to 3rd shift was a firm thump. You'd expect the thump if wide open throttle as it uses full line pressure to prevent slip. I never had it on downshifts. And was intermitent as well, I notced but never thought much about it. Sublabs picked it up when testing driving before a service.

Didn't the new company respray all 7 panels, embedding dust and hair, making it actualy worse than the start?

the 2006+ has a single piece of plastic with climate and radio, which sucks [edit: late to the party]

I like the scoop though that you get with turbos, no scoop just doesn't seem as cool to me. then again you don't want to be a poser with scoop and no turbo.

How different are the maps are they autos detuned for a good reason as I thought the stock autobox was good for a reasonable WHP? I thought it was based on RPM, throttle% and stuff (techical term), so it didn't care what was changing the gears.

I be keen to know what the 2 updates are (mines MY07 JDM too). I got the TCU and he said there was no engine one (I assume ECU). They got mine direct from subaru too. lately and probably unrelated to the reflash but I think my Sport setting is punchier than the S#. I didn't notice it straight after the flash, so I wonder if its the TCU relearning

I don't believe any difference in the actual motor, the ecu how ever is apparently detuned a bit for the autos. I don't know how big the power gap is now as both the auto and manual have the same turbo in the bp5 2006+ Before it was td05 in manual vs a vf38

Glad people are liking the subtech + stock mid + genomes as that's where I plan to end up after warranty.

I've got 07 twinscroll Legacy BP5 GTB and have the STI genome exhausts. They are not to every ones taste but they sound nice and quiet most of the time untill you floor it, very subtle rumble sound over stock. I wanted STI as its a bolt on and shouldnt count as a mod for mechanical warranty as its made for the car by subaru

Diy is all well good, but for 50$ you'll get the right pak file sourced and installed from Subaru. Mr hey didn't have one for my engine just the trains

Yeah that sounds pretty good too if not stock exhaust.. You can also skip down from like 5 to 3 but just double tapping rather than shift through each gear. I want to know, because it does rev match does that mean You can downshift all the time. Normally with autos you shouldn't as it creates extra stress on clutches and bands but because it rev matches it should be fine to do. I think the longest part of doing the PAK is sourcing the right one and copying it out to USB to transfer to the shop laptop. I had a $48 charge on my invoice but that was during a service so not sure if they'd normally charge labour on top.

Yes was sublabs, they didn't have the right PAK file on hand so got it from Suabru NZ. They also did the trans relearn part, that on its own wouldn't remove the hard shift though. Butt dyno says its a huge improvement, presumably they didn't just fix the shift but maybe same other tweaks. *don't tell me otherwise because i'm liking the placebo effect*

Got my car serviced the other day, the mechanic said when he took it for a test drive he noticed a hard shift from 2nd to 3rd under part throttle (I'd expect it under full). I had noticed this too but assumed it was normal. So he flashed the TCU with a new PAK file now the shifts are very smooth. Had transfluid replaced at the same time that would've helped too. I think its pretty cool that Subaru are still supporting older cars (Bp5 2007) when they find issues they release updates. Not sure when this was dated.

Diff and transfluid should probably be on that list if its the 100/200k service? In the past when I have asked Winger for estimate of service I have been told about $2000 including cambelt, water pump, sparks and fluids (and what ever comes with 100k service)

ha I have seen that and never thought much about what it was for - nice !

The MY06+ BP's, both auto and manual seem to have the VF44 or similar (vf38 and td04's are gone). I think about the 3.0R being the same power as a 2lt turbo auto could well depend on the car. I test drove a 06 GT before I brought my 07 GTB and the 06 one was defintely slower so I think theres still some variance between 2lt turbo models little alone between auto and manual. with the modded 3.0R being same power stock 2lr auto - ahh really you don't say the auto GT's are detuned compared with the manual GT's anyway. So if you were to just tune a auto GT it would then be better than a 3.0R with the afore mentioned tune, pipes and exhaust. I'd say the MY06 would also before better than the older models that don't have the newer turbo or SI drive.

Thanks. I only noticed the key icon at same time of message when taking the pic, but then it always flashes the imobolizer pic when off.

That one could be the one after 2 hours driving, tells you to take a break
