Just remember cats and mufflers are for Grannies

Its certainly a good starting point and you can see if you want to go bonkers from there

Give this a read.

The STI Brembos brakes would be the way to go . Got them on my Leggy and very happy. You shouldnt have any issues hitting 260 BHP with stock turbo, decent exhaust, intake and map. Bigger turbo, injectors and other bits will see you over 300 BHP.

Welcome! Importing a Legacy ....... kudos to you Both the 2.0 Turbo and 3.0 H6 are very nice cars as standard and not much between them on the road. My mate has a H6 and its not like I spank him on stock boost. The H6 does need a bit more 'neck ringing' where the turbo is nice to drive lower end on the primary turbo. The first thing I would ask yourself is, are you looking at modifying it? Unless you spend big money on a supercharger + the standard additions of exhaust and filter, you wont get much more power from the H6. The 2.0 turbo will get you up to 315ish BHP without spending too much and of course you can unlock that 4cyl Scooby burble Personally I would be looking for a nice low mileage late Twin Turbo E Tune. Enjoy the forum

Welcome! 2006 would have to be 2.5 I believe. 2.0 l stopped 2005. You will get many different views on which is best but all really come down to personal experience I guess. 2.0 more reliable power but 2.5 more torque. For not a lot of money you can get more power, exhaust, filter and map are the most common routes. There are some good threads on here and plenty of experience. Dig in

I think the STI wheels of the same year would be the 114 PCD and yours is a 100 PCD. If you wanted bigger wheels youd be safe with pre 2005 STI wheels. Having said that the offset wont be that noticeable so you may still find they look a bit lost. You would need to either get some spacers for the standard Subaru alloys or potentially aftermarket wheels with maybe a mid 40's offset. But hey if your happy then leave it be. As you say the Subaru guys picked it for a reason.

lol exactly what was running through my mind!

Interesting! Least they are tackling it which is great news for you Taking bets on what they find?

Ive decided not to as I cant guarantee Ill have a baffled sump by then. No way Im risking it until then

Never seen anything like that before. Slightly confused about how this would work day to day in terms of resticking it? Looks hard wired. I may be thinking all wrong though?

Guys, there are 2 threads running on this. Might want to keep everything in just the one to save cross over.

Im just trying to see if there is a pattern with your decat and the issue. It is mostly recommend to have a remap after decatting. You might just need some ignition tweaks etc on a rolling road session. You could try all sorts of plugs but you might not resolve the issue. See if anyone else has any suggestions.

Has the car been mapped? When were the mods you mention carried out?

My rubber has a wet rating bit I think it's different

Jesus I struggle to make it 9 hours!! Damn ebay to hell!

Do you have a picture of your intake? Be interesting to see what you made up!

Welcome! Looks tasty! Do you run it without air filter or was it out for the picture?

They can clean up as Sandals says. If you need one is this it? http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts-info?id=3643&cat=0&sub=0&sec=0&var=0&dc=&gen=&searchKey=idle control valve&searchPart=

Sounds sensible! You did well to find one. It's right up there on my list of future cars to own, just love the simple styling. Look forward to seeing it!

Winner!! Welcome! Fantastic car, jealous! Do you have any pictures? Everything in good order, any planned changes?

Yeah fingers crossed for the MAF. New ICV is not cheap £300+

Going first has its benefits

Are they just for tracking? I used to run Advan's but only for dry road and sprinting.

100% @steveuk260. @Scoobyghost @Scoobydoobydan will you guys be going up the M1?
