    Sticking your foot in your mouth is one thing, but actually throat jobbing yourself with it is another matter.

    As I said in response to your cranky PM, cut and paste your ad and try again.

    If that doesn't suit then take your wares somewhere else.

    Who knows how long the pump will run for, I have one reconditioned to replace when the fitted one runs out.

    MRT used to offer a double core heat exchanger and high flow pump.

    You can also wire the pump to run on High constantly as it has a HI/LO speed setting that is triggered by 5 seconds of WOT.

    I will be modifying the setup in the future but concentrating on the alloy cast pipe from the Turbo to the cooler.

    On an untouched setup I would not push more than 1 bar with a TD05.

    I have a stainless pipe that goes from the turbo to the cooler if u interested

    Is that the one your son made?

    I'm talking about after the plastic pipe, the actual alloy hard pipe.

  4. A 4 plug Possum link will not fit your 3 plug V4 setup.

    Others can comment on Possum link vs latest gear, besides you get what you pay for.

    Anti lag features are nothing new, why would you want to run this on the street?

    has it got a forged block or standard?

    do you rape it at motorsport events or daily driven?

    edge 5w/30, or 10w/60 for a forged motorsport car, something closer to 10w.40 for normal use.

    Thats a rather large range of viscosities listed there ;)

    Just a note; I wouldn't go to something as thick as 10w/60 unless the engine has been rebuilt with enlarged clearances on the bearings otherwise you'll just be putting extra heat into the oil trying to push the thick stuff through small holes (pressure goes up, flowrate goes down).

    Why recommend a low viscosity and then the other extreme?

    I run 5w40 in my "Forged block"

  6. Pappu now that you've got all that shit out out of your system, go weigh yourself.

    Everybody else use the search, this has been covered way back.

    Are you all referring to Gen 1 WAIC vs TMIC/FMIC? or aftermarket?

    GEN 1 WAIC will never manage anywhere near those numbers without extensive modifications to flow and heat exchanger size.

    It might net a decent peak figure on the fucking dyno, but subsequent runs will show a lesser number.

    I had a friend who fitted a VF22 to a stock RS (WAIC) and pumped 20+psi through it, we tapped a temp sensor into the WAIC tank, a few pulls and temperatures soared.

    The water would eventually boil.

    Bollocks.

    Equal length is the most efficient, it will create more power and spool the turbo faster because there is not turbulence with the exhaust pulses from each cylinder interfering with each other. Also, there is a pressure wave effect which increases scavenging from each cylinder when the lengths are properly tuned. Quite simply, the laws of physics are firmly on the side of the EL headers. But it's nothing to do with heat transfer or reliability. The only advantage of unequal length is that it will generate the characteristic boxer rumble exhaust note. This is because of the exhaust pulses interfering with each other. Essentially, you're sacrificing power for a funky exhaust note. Some people value this highly enough that they will swap back to UEL from EL. Me, you'll have to prise my EL headers from my cold dead hands.

    You've made a lot of broad claims without any proof.

    Such as the only advantage to unequal length is the note. I've seen varying results from OE headers in various states of modification.

    I'm guessing the Exedy HD pressure plate is waste of money then... or are there benefits for extremely aggressive driving conditions?

    That's about as far as I would go for a factory 5MT.

    I had one in my previous Subaru, Quite a severe clamp.

    I'd rather protect the transmission. Although I fitted an OE exedy this time round that had the cover had been modified by Autoclutch.

    ok, so a new clutch disk and pressure plate and bearings and end seal and kidney plate. so much for

    fixing it on the cheap :(

    Anyone know what the genuine subaru clutch kits cost? exedy oem replacement are only $485.

    Exedy is factory fitted.

    I see you already have, but spend a bit on TM. I found one for $200.
