me too.. would love to see dyno graphs too. i have no idea what exactly this would do.. but i assume doing this, if worth the effort, wont throw off anything regarding my tune.. so i am guessing this is a no-tune necessary mod... just a plug and play... i am now watching this too...

so uhm... i did a litle experiment on my way in to work this morning, as traffic was light, and i was not in a hurry.

short version: want to save some gas money? drive the speed limit!

for those who don't know, the '08 comes with a little onboard computer that calculates your average gas mileage.

i reset it when i was on the freeway, going 70mph, using cruise control.
i drove it for 8 boring miles like that. average mileage : 21mpg on the dot.

i reset it, slowed down to 65, hit cruise again.
5.5 boring miles later (i came up to a congested area, so the experiment ended right there) i had an average of 27mpg!

and there you have it nothing new basically

i tried the stay out of the boost method... odd thing was that i saw a bump up when the meth was added... initially... the past couple of fill-ups, i seem to be back to where i was pre-meth in the mpg category. hahaha i wonder what that means....

since some ppl here are on that thread.. i was wondering... is this proven? is it worth it? it sounds very interesting.... obviously not just removing the cap, but doing it the proper way...

Yeah I'm skeptical right now. I'll let flatthump try it. He datalogs and self-tunes in his driveway. He is also super-anal about his car so if it causes any kind of shenanigans, he'll let us know in a very loud way.

So there we go. Shoot. the rubber-booted push-in breathers for V8 valve covers would likely do the trick.

This idea is SO RICEY...I am so excited!

I can see it now...JDM 3-butterfly scoops for your oil cap...

has anyone ever tried to do an individual throttle body setup on a subaru boxer?

I want to see how you guys are doing this becasue I already have my cans set up and all i would need to do is the cap, line, and the T fitting.

Same here. But, a blinged out chrome oil-filer breather setup would be SO RICEY!
