My money is on you not finding anything wrong. How does it feel on the road.... much better than before?

190 to 200 is all I could ever get out of a vf turbo. Maybe bringing the boost down will help with the det... seems very high for a vf and a tmic.

Try Diesel and Turbo, Llama, Unleashed, Road and Track... Subaru, Toyota? Or just use gasket paper as a temporary measure to get the car back.

What about these guys? http://www.wrcdevelopments.com/services/tuning... oh not quite BOP though. But has anyone used them and got feedback?

Armstrong quoted me $585 plus and $180 plus just last week.

Could have been mine that was stolen 3 years back! I wish you had taken some pictures.

His style is annoying, (mannerisms aside) the thing to remember is that he is making the videos for his HP Academy website, which is the for the purpose of teaching less knowledgable people stuff about how to make fast cars... so he provides a lot of context around his questions so as to not lose his intended audience. Possibly it would be better to edit in the extra context and not annoy and waste the time of the person he his interviewing. In some of his videos he both asks questions and answers them at the same time, and leaves the poor person he is interviewing with nothing useful to add. That car though, F***en amazing... and Andy Forrest is one clued up cookie.

Don't forget to mention shimless buckets!

I have them on a BP5 and a WRX... they are more than enough for the BP5... and fine for the WRX if you drive thoughtfully, i.e. don't expect miracles from them.

They will be sweet for a BP5. Plenty of grip and no squealing.

Just one example... my ECU will reduce boost gradually when temps starting getting high... like at the track... a spring can't do that.

Subaru sell them.

You need the boost to be controlled by the ECU for safety if nothing else. But apart from that the ECU can control the boost based on many criteria, a spring can not.

In my experience with 3 STis... they all got terrible mileage on the factory tune, but much better with a custom tune. I could get 400 km/tank on the factory tune with normal highway driving... but around town I would have to drive very very carefully to get that... I only did it once, and it sucked. Actually, only two of them ever had a factory tune... one I had tuned from factory, one was never tuned, and one was already tuned.

Well it would crazy to go to a full cage if you weren't going to compete... and the yearly license and auth card fees don't amount to much... less than $200/yr.

How can a half cage be 8 point??? Or should I say, how can a half cage have front intrusion bars? No, not a part... "The human skeleton is the internal framework of the body." - wikipedia.

That would be awesome, but then you need a drivetrain that can handle 100 lbs of boost.

Is that a 'part' though?

Carbon fibre doors, panels and lexan glass. Reasons should be obvious. I doubt I will ever have enough spare cash for the carbon fibre stuff though.

Pretty good for rust... look at the top of the front windscreen maybe and around the bottom of the rear screen. Depending on how awesome you want it to be there will be a great deal of rejuvenating to be done.

Maybe the suspension is super hard and so the car sits flat under acceleration... therefore just feels slow?

Spray brake cleaner over all the vac lines (from end to end) and around any intake manifold gaskets when idling... any change in idle due to spraying the brake cleaner will indicate a leak. Also you can squeeze each vac line in turn with some pliers... again, any change in idle means you have found the leaking vac line.

yikes, don't boost it on 91, especially with this hot weather.

I would drive around for ages in my 96 legacy once the light was on... but it didn't have a turbo... in my wrx I will just fill it up whenever I am near a petrol station. It will use half a tank in the blink of an eye, so no point waiting until it's near empty. Current legacy is a 2006 and the light comes on when I have 60 km left based on my average fuel consumption... so it's not based on the amount of fuel left.
