Help required as the what is the best driving technique to get the turbo spooling up faster? As an example when coming going round a round-a-about, if I stay...
Alex, see: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/legacyb4/message/3219 I played around with this when trying to see what was max boost you can get in lower gears -...
Hi Alex I would say that "coming going round a round-a-about" is probably a dangerous thing to do, and maybe both hands should be on the wheel instead of other...
This round about is off a two lane dual carridgeway (very wide with good visablity). Assumin you get the lights right, you have a good run in to three lanes...
Has anyone had any experience with the Australian made Turbosmart "gated boost controller"?? You can see the product profile on www.turbosmart.com.au It claims...
not a B4 problem - but I'm really struggling with this one so I thought i'd see if anyone here has some ideas I have a track car - an old sierra xr4i - it was...
Steve, I have the std turbosmart, not sure what the difference between that and the gated version is though. All it does is bleed pressure from the pipe going...
Ed, I would still be looking at the valve that controls bias to the rears. Are you sure it's the right one ?? The car wasn't setup as a rally car by any chance...
A fitting very simlar to the turbosmart controller can be purchased for about NZ $13. The part was an exhaust flow controller for air controls. I brougth one...
I found a company which sell a exhaust system for the twin turbo legacy which replaces the down pipes, y pipe centre and rear muffer all for about NZ $ 530....
The only way you could adjust for it as far as I can see is to reduce boost. And a Subaru dealer won't do that I think. Replacing the dump pipe on the...
So it is safe to replace from the cat back, without the primary self destructing? Someone at a performance shop suggested that they driled out a restictor in...
Paul The braking system is completely standard - & i've just swapped the bias valve for. The car was set up as a circuit racing car. I might try a manual one,...
... Yes. Its a well worthwhile upgrade. ... Very good. Boost comes in earlier and stronger. It replaces the factory boost controller which seems to flutter...
... Hmmmm. You get what you pay for, and this sounds way too cheap to last more than a few km. You might be better off investing the $530 plus a little more...
I tend to agree with Tony here. You don't get anything for nothing, and as long as you are sensible about it, you can do the following things without being too...
You indicated that the fronts were getting pretty hot, so maybe there is a blockage somewhere. Have you drained and replaced the fluid yet ?, if not, try...
a blockage in the front brake pipes? I wondered if maybe this is the problem - & the fronts aren't working hard enough - the only problem is, the car stops in...
Maybe a blockage in the rears would reduce it slightly, but if the blockage moved around then it could surge and the brakes might lock quickly ????? I don't...
I had this exact setup in my MY96 WRX (still have the bits if anyone in melbourne wnats to try before they buy) It is very easy to install with the supplied...
