Some more mods...page 3 has some pics!

05 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT
2.5 liter turbocharged boxer engine. AWD, rear LSD, torque converters, momo wheel, 17" wheels, 6 disc changer, heated nice bucket seats, sport shift, 5spd auto, shift controls on my wheel, etc, etc.











And My first Mod, Thanks to the GREAT deal from Eric! Boost gauge, and it matches the stock STi Gauges perfect!

And you cant tell that I used a DVD case for the gauge pillar, haha. Its the one in the middle of my dash to the right of the wheel. The only pod they sell for that area is like 800 bucks from subaru with gauges that I dont want.

A new AEM intake will be shipped out on Monday for me, too. So thats my next mod. It gains like 12ft/lb and 15 hp. Not bad compared to the vics, hehe.

Ill be installing an intake in a few days. Ill take pics of it, and the turbo. Its a bigger turbo than the civic had, and still spools near as quick. Its at 13.5psi in first and goes up about 1/2 psi every gear. So around 15psi in 5th.

Ill be ordering a new wastegate in 2 weeks (maybe sooner) which raises the boost to 15 in first. and it holds much better giving about a 20-25hp/tq increase throughout the rpms. Ill be around 250ft/lb soon, and around 300crank. It will be sweet to take out STi's. hehe They smoke me right now around 60mph.

I took a rx-8 2 days ago,t hough. From 0-90. We stopped at the next light and he was like, "Damn, that sh*t is fast!" hehe.

I thought they were quicker?? Everybody makes em out to be so fast. I have no idea what power they have, just know they have a rotary engine. I dont study up on many cars, other than what I need to know.

My buddy has one. We drove it to Vegas. 238 isn't bad but nothing to brag about.....to anyone who DOESN'T have a civic.

It is becoming sick fast. Its getting tuned right now with the ems. I can't wait to floor it for the first time when its done. Running rich it feels pretty fast so i can't wait until its tuned. I am also looking to upgrade the turbo soon and go with external wg instead of internal

haha, mine? Or his? The only prob I had was the tranny got stuck in 4th. But there was an update for the ecu. Its been fine every since. The brakes sort of suck. They are about the same size as erics big brake kit. Ill be swapping my brakes for the gold brembos (sti ones) in a couple weeks. Probably 10-15 days Ill order. tax return/property closing time.

I installed an AEM intake today. You can actually hear the spool now, really loud...compared to before. As well as the bypass valve is audible.

The throttle is much peppier than before, and it probably gained about 10 hp/tq. much mroe noticeable than an intake in a vic. Isnt any louder other than the spool/bpv. I love it. No CELs either like people said would happen. They all talk out their *** though.

Lovin those angel eyes, you have a pretty sick ride. What car did you have before the LGT? Do you know a guy that drives a Black XT?

Im gonna be getting the AVO pod soon. maybe next week. Looks good.

Did you have to drill into your dash for the hose, or were you able to run it along the side of the dash?

Yeah, I was on my way to a softball game .. which I have one this coming Sunday.

No drilling required, but it was a pain in the **** running the boost gauge line ... but I got it done. Did you disconnect your DRL's yet?? I have my boost gauge power hooked up to my DRL wires.
