The APS TMIC, and Invidia Downpipe I can handle with some help from friends at home. (I am not mechanically inclined to say the least).

I need to install:

APS Header/uppipe - (Caesar said he'd help if he had time)
JDM TGV Risers
Injectors
3" Deadbolt 20G Turbo

I found out real quick that the installs add up when I requested a price quote from a tuner.

lennyk1313 · 11-13-2006, 06:40 PM

Have you done the APS inlet already? If so, TGVs and the Injectors will be easy since you will have to take the manifold off. Once the manifold is off the Turbo should be cake to install. Everything should be done the same day including the APS header/uppipe. You should be able to finish everything in about 7-8 hrs (maybe less if everything goes smoothly). Let me know if you need any help.

Chris05STi · 11-13-2006, 07:11 PM

I can help....if you want a mechanic that is a senior master mechanic at Subaru....my guy could give you an awesome price...he helped me do the clutch, and he really knows his stuff. This is when you would need him with a big install, with a bunch of different things...otherwise I could do it for you

JJ18Sniper · 11-13-2006, 09:14 PM

Thanks for the offers Lenny and Chris... PMed you both

jgheels2003 · 11-14-2006, 03:18 AM

Good luck with the installs and the turbo. That should be a nice quick, responsive setup you are putting together!

APS 70MM CAI - NEEDED

Going to have available to sell at some point:

Kartboy exhaust hangers
Extra set of TGV's that need porting

TheLimitedProject · 11-14-2006, 04:26 PM

^Are you going to the 70mm APS CAI because you think that the 65mm would be the bottleneck? What (hp and tq estimates?) and where (low end or high end)do you expect to gain as a result of the extra 5 mm?

I wouldn't consider it a "bottleneck" necessarily to the full extent. The reason for the swap is that the APS Inlet pipe is 76MM, and my turbo is going to be a 3" turbo. It just does not make sense to "bottleneck" the tract with an intake of 65mm, when 70mm is available. I think the situation would allow for more breathing. As for gains I have no idea. The 65MM is great and gave me nice gains, but I think this is a worthwhile upgrade.

Chris05STi · 11-15-2006, 03:11 AM

Its a def + in upgrading to the 70mm APS CAI. I talked to Chris at XX-Tuning and he says the map is more clearer and the flow is soo much more soother. Why cut corners eventhough it may cost you......? Its the price we pay to play the game

You have a pm! Yours has potential to be better than mine. I would get the 8cm or 8.5cm hotside if you aren't getting an external wastegate setup. I got them to price me out that upgrade, and if it wasn't such a pain to send off the turbo I would do it asap.

Nis01 · 11-15-2006, 06:54 AM

Congrats on the 20g setup. I would love to upgrade to that setup in the future.

If you are still looking for somebody to pick up your Crucial Racing setup, I'll be happy to take them off your hands.

Good luck with everything. Looking forward to watching the progress.

JJ18Sniper · 11-15-2006, 03:10 PM

Ok guys... I will have a couple of things for sale in the next couple of weeks to give you a heads up. Some stuff has never been used, while some stuff is still on my car

I'm not putting up prices yet, but I'm putting it out there in case someone is interested enough to offer ahead of time. ALL of the things are in great condition!

APS 65MM CAI
Crucial racing thermal coated downpipe
Crucial racing catted midpipe (highest flowing cat available; metal substrate in the midpipe position, NOT ceramic)
Kartboy exhaust hangers - Never used
Cusco intercooler hose in blue - Never used
TGV's that need porting - (Choose to order JDM TGV risers instead)

JJ18Sniper · 11-16-2006, 08:13 PM

Just bumping regarding what's on order...

Today I added to the list the Prodrive 3 Port boost solenoid. I ordered that and finally the APS 70MM CAI, from Adam @ Z1Auto!
