Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

that's wierd, you shouldn't be throwing any codes with those 2 mods.
Did you reset the ECU after installing them?
Did your car throw the code RIGHT after you installed ONLY the intake?
If it is, then probably it's the intake MAF sensor, or maybe one hose is out of place or loose?

checked hoses...all there and tight

The code never came up without the intake

code comes up after any period of time over 70mph
highway driving!!

dont know what to do except either running lean all the time or return to stock
neither sound fun

BTY: Would eibach springs for a 02 RS fit a 06 2.5i?

did you install the MAF sensor backwards?



and for your other question, NO 02/03 springs will not fit on a 06/07 2.5i. (top hats are different)
