Thanks. How big were the fluctuations, if you remember? I am seeing +/- 0.25 psi at idle. Were they a problem for the tuner, or you just judged them as warranting the dampers before it got to the tuner?

Who has installed one in a car that didn't have one originally (90s Subarus to my knowledge) when upgrading their fuel system?

This mod routes water from the head right back to the water pump, bypassing the radiator.

Anyone bought from them? Good? Bad?

Front diff has gone bad, but only when warm? Sounds weird to me. Could just be some worn bearings somewhere. You should get it properly diagnosed before trying to find a new box. A replacement box though should only be $300 to $500. Labour will be easily $1000 these days. You'll probably want to change the clutch and replace or machine the flywheel. Several hundred more dollars there. But if it's just a worn CV or wheel bearing, it'll be much cheaper!

lol

Sounds like you should just trade it in for a 2006 GT Manual.

It's not how it sounds, it's what you do with it.

You won't find anything to bolt right up. It'll rumble if you open up the muffler a bit.

A bad tune can't snap the cambelt or make the clutch slip.

In general you would only notice a coolant smell once it is escaping from somewhere... in this case the overflow bottle. I would take some out of it (when it's cold)... if it still keeps overflowing, you maybe in trouble.

Alistair will build any motor for you... definitely not just race motors.

Maybe. You check the parts numbers here: https://jp-carparts.com/subaru/carlist.php?maker=subaru

Probably not. The evap valve should only open when the engine has vacuum and if the blocked line is going into the intake manifold... the evap valve opening won't do anything at all.

Not in that position I don't think... the boost control stuff is usually on the right strut tower... though I'm not familiar with turbo Legacys... Subaru likes to keep everything similar across cars of the same era.

Pretty sure that is the EVAP solenoid.

Well it could be the cause of your boost issues.

Is the EVAP canister still present and hooked up? Is it a turbo? Oh I see your other post... a twin turbo.

Evap system? Where does the other end go to?

Use "kneed it steel" or similar.

Yes they were KYB but (at least in NZ) there doesn't seem to be an STi specific model available. Not when I was looking for the same thing a while back.

You have had the same clutch since 2014? You must drive very sympathetically

Not saying you can't do fast takes off with the HD, but not full on rocket style launches... from my experience... it will just slip and make a big smell.

Don't go cheap with the clutch. Exedy work pretty well for me... I've used 3, 4 and 5 puk... 3 or 4 puk is more likely to hold up to launches, but not sure if available in NZ. The HD option is not suitable for launching even with standard power from my experience.
