UPDATE!!!!!!!
IT WORKS!!! Today I drove it around the block for the first time. Pretty exciting. there is no exhaust on the car so I only drove it for a few minutes. But I am stoked. First thing I notice is that I feel like I am missing power. I will wait till I hook up exhaust and everything to really test it out.. I will post a video soon -Peter |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) As far as missing power, you haven't run the tuning yet, right? And do you have a Gtech? That will help to get an idea of what power you have. -- brett |

That will help to get an idea of what power you have. -- brett No, I havent run any tuning or anything. However, after some quick research... I realized I had the PCV valve and blow-by hose connected wrong. Not sure if I have the correct plastic piece that connects into the crankcase, so i will have to get that situate out. The subaru service manual said that if there is "low output, hesitation, and poor acceleration" then to check the blow-by hose. I DIDN't EVEN HAVE MINE CONNECTED!!! So that should help... it really felt like it was running on two cylnders. ANd I have heard of Gtech before. Is that the standalone unit? -Peter |
