    G'day Luke, Tomei have released an UEL Header for the FA20. Subie Rumble pretty much back, sounds awesome! Installing it does negate all the benefits of the twin scroll turbo mind you, being quicker boost response, better fuel efficiency and low end torque to start with (and IMO the CVT cuts out...

    Impressed with accessibility to key engine ancillaries.

    Ah no problem for you then, the turbo has been moved from the top of the engine to the bottom on the FA’s. Much harder to get to, not that we should ever really need to I guess

    Hello from Taiwan.....sorta.

    Hmmm, that's a bit confusing, sounds like it hasn't been tuned at all to me, 268hp at the crank is stock, you usually lose between 17 and 20% to get to the wheels. It varies for all cars and trans, but 210 to 220hp atw sounds about right for the stock 2Ltr, with all those mods and a tune you'd...

    What experiences do people have with fitting Blow off Valves?

    G’day Nico, Bypass valves differ from blow-off valves in that they don’t vent any air to atmosphere, Instead, they plumb the air back into the intake pipe (not the exhaust) before the turbo but after the airflow sensor so the ecu isn’t confused about how much air it has measured and then it can...

    What experiences do people have with fitting Blow off Valves?

    BOV's don't require a re-tune, but it will run a lil rich if you vent it to atmosphere as the air ammount has already been measured. Can foul spark plugs and over time burn out the cat as the unburned fuel burns very hot in the cat. But no tune is needed.

    Same here. Was looking at a drop in K&N filter in the OEM Air box as I know that release more induction sounds, but researching further found that the reason it flows more freely and allows the sounds out is because it sacrifices MOST of it's filtering capabilities :( Would rather do without the...

    Unfortunately the twin spool turbos require equal length headers and nothing but equal length. If you install unequal length you have to ditch the twin spool for a single spinner and then BANG, boxer rumble be back, of course this will also require a dyno as well. Though the twin spool doesn't...

    Without a Dyno exhaust gives a little extra not alot. You can do Catback or axleback without needing a dyno. Main difference is noise, cool noise ;) Also I found after I installed by catback the revs didn't drop off as much at the top end as stock did, but extra power...not really. But it's much...

    BOV not needed unless making big horses, they sound good, but because it happens after the MAF sensor and the air is vented to the atmosphere the ECU will inject too much fuel into the cylinder making it run very rich, this can eventually foul the spark plugs and clog the Catalytic Convertor, in...

    Gday Luke, Definitely more intake noise with a CAI, but you HAVE to get a Dynotune as well. For a slight increase you can tape off the top of the baffle bottle inside the stock air box, it's just there to quiet things down a bit. Not heaps more noise, but a little, especially driving in manual...
