Wow! I hate the standard WRX hatch, but that thing is pure sex O0 Usually, I'm not a fan of the hatch's, but it just looks like it will eat small children sitting there! >

Yea, this is my first upgraded clutch I've driven, and it's def. taking me a little while to get used to the chatter! Hopefully after it's all broken-in, it will be better to drive...but it def. grabs like heck and should be fun!

Nice man, I'm sure it will be a learning experience!! I'm always down to mess around and help where I can... I took the easy way out this weekend and had Patriot install my new clutch + flywheel, and let me tell ya it may be a little too strong for my liking!! We'll just have to wait until I go...

+1 for clutch day!! I have an Exedy Stg2 clutch and ACT flywheel just dying to be put in! >

^^^ good call, but a MBC on top of your EM will also deliver "more boost quicker" for lack of better terms. For example, my AP max boost is set at 20 psi in which the turbo usually spools to that psi at about 3300 in 4th. However with my MBC, I can hit full boost at about 3100 RPM. ~$0.02

You can do the same thing with an MBC too....Just watch out for the PTFB condition if it's not tuned...

Well, I FINALLY have time this weekend to change my tranny/rear diff. fluid, so I'll let you know how the "cocktail" works. I'll give a flat-out opinion if I really feel a difference or not. I just wanted to try something new, so we'll see if the hype is true or not.

cool man! If you still want to run a comp. test just to check things over let me know

Yep, I just bought all the ingredients last week as well, and I'll be putting it in next weekend at my buddy's shop, so I'll let you guys know how well it works too. Ordered the RedLine Lightweight shock-proof and 75W-90 from titanmotorsports and the Castrol Hypoy-C from midway auto supply...

Well, good luck to ya...I hope the tune comes out OK. What are you using for EM??

haha, it's funny that you mention that because I did a compression test on Saturday just to make sure everything was ok and I got the hose extension stuck in the spark slug well!! It took me like an hour to get it out, it was such a PITA!! But it was worth it, cause my compression numbers were...

Yea, they really are nice turbops, it's just a shame what happened to the company....and you're right, it really was just a few idiots that killed the comany's reputation and sent them under. Oh well, at least I know I have a good product! 8)

^^^Yea, there's a lot of haters on NASIOC though that don't know how install tubro's or whatnot properly :- **UPDATE** : I've been running the turbo for a solid ~12K now and haven't had any issues, no regrets!! Boost peaks at 20psi and then tapers to ~17psi at redline, and I get full spool at...

Did ya figure what the problem was yet?? Changing spark plugs, as said above, can be a hassle to get at but it's really not bad...Tryin' to do a compression test is another story as it's SO hard to get hose tightened in the plug wells. But it's a good idea to do a test while you're in there...

Sounds like the oil drain hose underneath the turbo is loose/craked and dripping oil on the downpipe...I had this same exact issue on my car b/c the stock Subaru clamps on this hose are junk. I am willing to bet that this is the issue, and it's a cheap fix thank goodness. Get under the car and...
