Ah yeah thanks I dont actually want any noise especially being auto what would you or anyone recommend as far as getting more power but being sleeper quiet?
Cheers I heard the factory muffler in the V11 STI's are very restrictive and you would be better to do that before the downpipe?
Does this sound right?
Hey team got a 2010 STI A-line and are wanting to get it tuned - will do a downpipe and fuel pump first
My Main question is who in Chch would be best to tune it - Id rather use Possum bourne but being in Nelson its a bit impracticable to take it up there
I was looking at Torque Performance maybe?
On a second note anyone tuned an A-line before?
Hi Team - I am assisting my mate who has a 2002 Legacy B4 twin turbo manual with a blown bottom end
He is looking to just drop another replacement engine in the same - but having a hard time finding the right engine
https://www.trademe.co.nz/2703915890 - would this be correct? how do i make sure its the right version? the company says its out of a manual but unsure what year but says it has the pink injectors
Appreciate the help
Agreed with the 100 octane - I bought a twin turbo BE5 Legacy a while back it had been running on 95 and as expected it was pinging its nuts off
After a couple of tanks of 100 she was perfect and much more economical too
Only Forester I ever has was an STI Forester which was very happy to be tuned however before doing anything I would highly recommend some decent quality rubber, not only safer but much more fun on the corners when you aren't under steering everywhere!
After that I would look at a turbo back exhaust fuel pump and a tune
Thats just my 2 cents..
Probably good to check the secondary airpump isnt noisy or about to go my B4 one let go at 120,000kms
Not to big of a deal to deactivate but worth noting
PartsOuq have this one not sure if it would fit tho

Does anyone know much about these gauges? are they any good as far as quality goes I see Partsouq has them https://partsouq.com/en/search/search?q=H5017FG000
I like the idea of oem parts like this especially cos the backlit colours are the same as the cluster etc
or would I be better off going to an aftermarket one of some sort?
Hey mate I have an old 99 SF forester that I do a bit of off-roading in mines an NA Manual, I chose the manual as it had the hi/lo ratio
Id have to say its VERY impressive off road only thing that limits mine is its not lifted at all so ground clearance is sometimes an issue
Occasionally I find a bit more power would be great especially on some steep muddy/rocky slopes
In some ways an auto might actually be better off road as well as the hi/lo range isn't actually very low...
if your going for an auto SH series i would probably get the XT just for that extra power..
Hope this helps
