just keep the underhood temps down by venting it somehow cause those suckers get hot under the hood, like you can't even hold your hand on the air filter housing for more then like 5 seconds if you pop the hood like 5 minutes after it has been driven (but you already got an aftermarket filter though, just try other plastic pieces though)

well they make a heat shield box for the intake that ill pick up eventually... id like to get a FMIC to get rid of my heatsoaking issues...
and rajca you will no doubt be spanking me (no homo) if you got the snail in at that time... esp since im trying to keep my OEM clutch for as long as possible, so i will def. not be launching it lol
if you were just spraying i think it would be a great race...

well thats the thing, the only aftermarket intake that doesnt mess with the MAF readings is the cobb (which i have) no other company offers a legit cold air for us turbo legacys... the N/A guys got them tho
lol yea the wheels were so win but it wasnt a 6mt swap lmao... i drove the 08 when i was looking at the LGT... huge ride comfort improvement from the 04-06 sti's

true... but they cause mad turbulence around the MAF sensor.... poor design
and yea rajca its a lil roller skate lol not so good on the top end, but my low-mid range torque curve is sooo baller... when/if my stock turbo takes a shit ill put in the vf46 i believe (04-06 sti turbo)
with the reflash, downpipe, and uppipe alone ill be roughly 297awhp and 320awtq

overextend your oil changes, the oil supply screen/filter (to the turbo) gets plugged up, and you don't get enough oil then

also there are not alot of turbos compared to N/A subarus especially legecy's, even wrx's aren't like dime a dozen for the impreza's
so there not really replaceing alot of turbos compared to the number of subarus sold but it is a high % of the turbos though

just remember that it's all the people that have had to have the turbo replaced bitching and moaning, where you never hear from the people with the turbo's that are perfectly fine
also it's the people complaining about it cause it's a expensive part (when they had to pay), but they are also too cheap to pay for a regular oil change.
Serves them right though
like i have rebuilt an odyssey motor at 120K cause it ran out of oil, and the oil change sticker on the windshield was 20K OVERDUE, the owner is alot better about oil changes now though (even if it is grease monkey, jiffy lube, or quick lube) after getting like 7,000 bill to repair it right

also i worked on it a couple of weeks ago and the maintence light had burned out or something by 160k if that gives you an idea of how long that light was on (doen't even come on when you first turn on the ignition like it should with the bulb check)

Would've been cheaper to get a engine from junk yard and pay for the swap...
