Today my little turbo wagon ('05 Forester) was upgraded with a set of headers and a Tanabe Touring Medallion cat-back. What a combo :thumbsup:

STis beware, this wagon rocks :D

Have you got it on the dyno yet? It would be interesting to see what numbers you get out of it now!

LOL. I have driven many 2.0L and 2.5L Subies and the turbo 2.5s really are great. The crappy part of the 2.5 cars is the drive-by-wire.....I hate it!!!! Give me a cable anyday!

Re. the dyno, I did have it on the dyno a few months ago and I will get it back on the dyno in the next couple of months. These latest mods should be good for around 15whp/20+wtq.

Yep, it is a real "sleeper". Most people think it is a CR-V or some slow SUV, they have no idea it weighs ~3250lbs and makes ~360hp :nut:

Yeah DBW is really starting to annoy me, I think the TPS sensor is dying on mine because I get hesitation on 2 differnt throttle points all the freaking time, and this is when i run the car on the stock map too.

I rocked a set of headers and a turbo back to for a while, awsome torque gains on the 2.5L engines:thumbsup:
