Metric Subaru Mechanic Latest Advice
Metric Subaru, Dave. Some of you know him some of you dont. Hes a really good guy and probably the best dealership you could possible think of buying an STI from. Very much into the mods.
1. Dont install the BOV. Nothing but problems reported. Stalls, CEL's ect.
2. Inake Silencer removal: Thumbs up. No problems.
3. TB Exaust: Of course...
4. First oil change: 2000k Miles. "The car currently has breakin oil in it, Nothing better than that for it right now"
He also told me hes talking to guys over in england waiting on the ECU. He told me once we get specs for it over here its gonna be out of control the power we will be able to get from the 2.5 He said the guys over there with the 2.0's are pulling some insaine power.
He also told me to stop getting advice from the internet
Cant wait!

using an APS BOV, this one recirculates a portion of air back into the system to avoid CEL and hesitation problems. Works flawless

Now instead of running out and getting it just for the sound, Ill wait for engine management and do it right.

Stock valve is a bypass valve, not blow off valve. Hence the term blow off valve. Semantics
You still wont get any gain from it and could possible have stall and CEL problems..
Save your money, Put it somewhere it will actually give yourself a gain first.
Reminds me of all the guys who do ground effects and badges all over there car before the car is even modded..
All show no go...

Propain does have a point, get some speakers first. You can get a bov later after engine mods come out. If I had do it over I would have got my sounds first. The car has enough performance out of the box. And not having a radio/cd player is killing me.

Also,
Im just waiting patiently for the ECU. Once that happens we can really tune the crap outa these cars.
Then ill do it all at once...
TB Exhaust
BOV
FMIC
Turbo swap
CAI
ect..
Im not really into the MBC because I think its a poor mans way of getting a stronger turbo. Correct me if im wrong, but doesnt this just do damage to the turbo and engine without proper management?
