Nah its not that hard depending on the state your in. Qld and Vic have some of the worst wrecks on the road (see them daily). The rules are tough but they dont do anything as there are so many loopholes its not funny... All the cops here are worried about is the occasional speeder over school holidays, and some drinkies-drivers over a random period (christmas comes to mind, maybe easter every now and then...)

From the diagrams I have for that are relevent to TT models: VOD: happens from about 4250 to 5250RPM Single turbo (Primary) to Twin turbo (Secondary) Switch over: Primary to Secondary happens about 5250RPM Secondary to Primary happens about 4250RPM Locks: If you want to shave them just buy some "door poppers", they are a small switch that you can install anywhere, and they are (well some anyway) a mechanical mechanism(as required by WOF Schedule for safety reasons - it cannot rely on electricity)

Lucky catch there. Did you use a newer alloy version one?

What this man has said^^^^^^^^^^^^^ As an aside Reub, In aus they can get away with all sorts of sh!te For instance: So that xforce muffler you want is legal here - sadly its pretty gray area in NZ tho - you could always buy it and just hook it up Legal disclaimer I aint telling you how to do it, merely how I would do it: instead of using the xforce's switch and stuff you just hook your cable up to the muffler's mechanism

I fixed it for you, not just Subaru's who have Tards for owners you know

Rocking horse sh!t has nothing on these puppies Reub... Tardme FTW: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Subaru/Other/auction-210332250.htm Oh well ebay has Jack...

+1 on the AA My GTB got checked there by AA in Palmy - the muppet missed a leaking and dead centre diff... Thank the the stars (pun intended) for mechanical insurance...

+1 I hunted for one for ages and finally gave up... GT Boy you selling? ;D

The JDM has everything including the kitchen sink (usually) and the NZ new has everything minus everything excluding the kitchen sink In all reality specs would differ depending on what boxes were ticked at the dealer in Japland JDM version STI (I think) 2L and NZDM is 2.5L (same spec as Aus version)???

+1 on this place, Mine is hooked up from there. Doesn't interfere with the factory sensor in anyway either

Sheesh I saw this thread and my mind instantly headed ***somewhere else*** Anyways my muffler was tested and got in below stock (back in 2005 now and cant remember what Db level now)

Yup tis gone...

+1, should use them for topmounts too... They are cheap from Supercr@p if I remember right... that or raid ya neighbours Ford/Holden while he isn't looking

My thoughts too in this is similar: I vaguely remember reading somewhere that joining two wires of differing diameter is a bad idea, the reason being that it creates a blockage or voltage drop accross the join (therefore heat, etc) and can in worst case result in a fire... I do stand corrected if this is not the case tho... But wouldn't it better to get a new connecter (on both ends) for the new wire and replace it at the plastic bit itself? Just a thought tho

Clap clap It is there purely for noise reasons... As an aside: If you leave the mechanism in and fit a after market muffler with this or similar system in that is operated by the ECU (In the exact same manner as stock) then you should be OK legally NOTE: SHOULD BE OK

Heheheh Hahahahaha Hohohohohoho heeheeheeheeheehee Muppet of the month award then??? Waits to eat me own words once I actually do this... ;D

Been thinking about re-posting this... Stuff needed for this el cheapo arse job: a) Factory windscreen washer bottle - $5 from wreckers - if your lucky you get a working pump(s) with it, b) plastic pipe (from work as freebie - but you can get it for nix from Bunnings/M10/boat shops/etc (about $7 for a meter) - make sure it is the same size as the neck of the washer bottle. More on that later. A smaller plastic hose for use as a breather pipe c) Fibre glass (chopped strand mat and associated stuff, like the roller thats about $9 at bunnings, d) garden nozzles - you can get it for nix from Bunnings/M10 e) some vacuum pipe (or other pipe) ou can get it for nix from Bunnings/M10/Supercrap/Ri(off)co/etc f) some aluminium for a bracket - could use anything metal really g) Free time, place to make a mess Righty oh: The sprayer bottle - neck chopped off - make sure the pipe fits inside the neck before you buy. Cut the top off the washer bottle (the bit just below the lip - try to keep as much of the neck as possible attached to the bottle): As you can see I used a windscreen sealer to seal it before fibre glassing First layer of Fibre glass - applied after the sealant dried: Filler hose attached - drill a hole where it will bleed off most of the air, I used masking tape to hold it in place. Fibre glass in place (1st layer): This is why you cut off the lip, also note the position where the bleeder hose returns: TADA looks factory when you clean it up, bog/smooth and paint it... Let rip with as many layers of fibre glass as you need (I used three) - Let dry: Have fun sanding the bugger down - trim the excess mat before it is too dry and get rid off those extra bits that are poking everywhere... This is what my hanger looks like: I made another one for below the bottle - almost hammock like - cant find a photo. There you go all done and hiding in the front drivers side wheel well - you can see the yellow factory lid by the (now defunct) poddie: There you go - Hope it inspires you to do some more stuff on the cheap

There is wealth to your situation..You need to think outside the box.. here my man, visualization is needed... think MULA and how to get it. Imagine the suck and epic fail if they decide to climb to one side of the fence. Where you're not at. :-\ It depends on: are you allowed to watch or not ;D ;D ;D ;D

Interesting, Mine comes straight of the manifold, but I cant say that I have ever noticed my boost gauge being "unstable" tho...

Phht blooming Wellingtonians - getting uppity like their Dorkland cousies South Island FTW all ya wellie-bellies <----- Cool I made up a word... Combo of Yellow belied and Welli(e)ngton ;D Ps case you didnot get that I am takin the piss

I wouldnt dare compare that to Opticals ;D $400 will buy you a cheap parallel thrills, $$$$$ + prova will get you 245kw Yar but then us mere mortals don't have that kinda coin (like Prova itself) to throw at show case models as part of their marketing budget... If you have the coin, doing a single conversion would be bettererer... I drove a Parallel conversion a while ago, did not like personally... (but then again they kept the factory turbo's)
