Lovely build and coming together nicely

 

thanks banny appreciated bud just aload of bolt on stuff hope hit 450 . I said if I was gonna do it no cheap stuff

 

To be fitted day of mapping hopefully next few weeks

 

You're postman must be knackered !

 

I've been to the post office xmas party lol

 

Lol.

 

 

Gearbox out for billet fly and act xtss clutch kit. Removed turbo and sent all o.e pipes to chevron to make pipes up . Decided mount the mocal oil cooler where the tmic used to be had custom stainless brackets made up to suit more pics to follow

 

Does the dump valve make a difference mate ? I know that they are used for more than just the noise that some people assume

 

no idea yet matty lad, i think i wont have the car back to me for another two weeks or so them over for mapping i suppose i will find out then, originally i didnt want a dump valve but when i fitted the hks fmic theryre wasnt an option to refit the oe recirc valve, well i didnt know how to do it , so i went for hks sqv

 

I've heard there's not many better than hks on the market mate so I reckon your be alright...subaru's have standard plastic ones on there anyway so an aftermarket one can't be a bad thing...

 

You can get an adapter to convert the ssqv to recirculation like the standard one.

You won't get any benefit over standard and infact it will damage the engine to an extent unless you are running mafless

 

Oh right ok that's handy to no mate! What do you need to do to prevent damage then ?

I'm off to snowdon in August and I'd luv to take me scooby down some of them roads but I'm taking me bike

 

Act xtss clutch in plus billet flywheel all reassembled oil cooler being done today I can almost see the finish line

 

Great clutches are the ACT and much better VFM compared to twin plates

 

Hoping so banny I didn't want the rattling from the twin plate

 

I have one in mine been great so far and held 530lb/ft fine, little bit on/off in traffic compared to a twin but other than that spot on

 

Learning to drive all over again lol
