Yea. Mines only doing it after long drives at this point

Yea you're pushing **** uphill trying to just gauge it based on feel. To much going on with these cars to just be guessing. You may not be feeling the secondary really kick till 5.5k but chances are its still creating boost from 4.5k Even a cheap repco/supercheap jobbie will give you a clearer picture than nothing at all. On the plate in the engine bay its the letter that follows the be5

Yea it definately should have boost after 2.5k. Are you saying it has no boost by feel or do you have a boost gauge installed? Thats what i was saying earlier. It shouldn't die off at all until the VOD, where it should still be making 10ish psi depending on what exhaust you have. What revision is the car by the way? A,b,c,d?

Do you really need 12 hours? Used to do mine for about an hour and that was enough to lose the idle memory atleast

So you have boost at 2.5k, whats it doing at say 3k?

Wouldn't have considered it all that flat. Mine used to only lose a couple of psi. More like a really big stumble. Only lasts a second or so. The big problem with them was when accidentally shifting down into the VOD, then you'd have essentially nothing for a good 4-5sec

Na not at all. It'll rev to 4kish on the primary, then have the VOD, basically where it opens the exhaust valve that feeds the secondary which helps it spool up, the consequence of this is in stock form it drops the boost pressure from the primary. So then after around 4.5k it keeps going with both, the primary and secondary turbo's, which is when they start to make the real power. So other than that roughly 500rpm patch you should never have any noticeable drop in power throughout the revs Probably worth making a separate thread for this since its a bit off topic. And if yours is struggling to boost over 2.5k you've probably got a real problem

Been thinking about that too since mines showing some periodic issues. Won't be very practical to ship over there and did ask him about it and he's sharing the basics but there are alot of things he's not putting up there so that people don't just go use his info and do it themselves. Its more of a thread publicising what he's doing than a full blown DIY how to.

What makes you think there's no turbo pushing at 3-4k?

Kicking in around 5k is fairly normal. What do you mean its hard to get there? You trying to say it struggles to keep the revs rising? Can't they hit like 160kph in 3rd when wound right out? Never had any over taking issues in my old one. Its not an auto is it?

Guessing you won't be needing the cable for a while now? 294 assuming your talking g/sec is getting pretty impressive now ay. Would love to see what this thing can do. Drove my old one last weekend for the first time in ages and it feels like such a dud with it in stock form.

Yea they're dropping in price crazy fast now ay. Thinks its time for you to make the jump from your problematic 3rd gen.

You looked into gull sites. I was looking into it a few months back when I was wanting to give it a try too. They list a few in Auckland, chances are that website may not be current though. http://gull.nz/fuel/gull-force-pro/

You actually taking it out on the track? Surely there's somewhere nearby to get some from if not? Is that how it'll react each time or just since its the first time the ECU's run the tune?

Speaking of front mounts, whats the better option for piping to use in terms of heat retention, weight, cost, ease of welding? Think aluminium would be better, correct? Been told arc welders aren't the best for this kind of stuff but thinking about getting some practice in with the work one and hacking something together myself. Or atleast, trying, failing, and getting it done by someone with a proper clue

And smell like the exhaust on a boat if left idling in the same spot for too long.

Marky's is 600x280. But he is a misterhackalot

Where did you get the xforce catback from? Been looking on their site and can't really make much sense of the different options they have. May just be the **** mobile site though. You know the difference between the 184 and 194 versions?

I'll be keen too

You have any brighter pictures of those mufflers toomtom? Quite like the size of those, don't look quite as large and in your face as most dual tip options for these cars.

Interesting. Would love to give it a try myself but there's no viable source of e85 in TGA. Would be awesome if you get hold of him and nudge him along.

Just impossible to get hold of. Still need a tweak for my one but haven't heard back from him yet. You have a flex fuel sensor or have to fill completely up each time. Think he was talking about some ecu's actually being able to work out the percentage just from the AFR's or something these days but can't remember if he was talking about subaru's or something else.

Solid. Thats the way to get real gains out of the 3.0r's

Yea, one of our main suppliers is in the building with the for sale sign

Love it. Sounds more like a high end euro with that exhaust than a tinny subaru. Would be cautious down Birch though ay. Cops are pretty good at pinging people down there for anything. Its always been a pretty popular spot for the yobbo's Don't suppose you work down there do you? Used to always see a Spec B parked up pretty much right outside that building.
