A few new pictures from 3 day event this weekend. After 3 days of competition I ended at second place. I haven´t managed to test the centerdifferential before. After some testing with the DCCD i cut 3 second from the first run.

Johan, i'm still planning my Stage 2 (20g & induction), i'm also considering a FMIC.
How did you find the quality of the F4Online one? (do you have anything to compare it to?)
Also, did you notice much difference, any increase in lag?

The kit is rated a 10 from me without a queston, because none can compete with the price and performance You get. The finnish is also outstanding. I have friends that bought the APS DR725, Greddy and HKS FMIC and even they said that it´s a bargain. The only thing You have to know is that You can´t fit a Cold Air kit with this because it uses the hole in the fender that the Cak kit uses.

The part about the Cak kit, is that just for flat4's FMIC, or is that for all FMIC? As i was planning to fit the APS inner wing CAK, to reduce induction noise.

I have been on vacation and didn´t see Your question until now.
Some of the aftermarket FMIC uses the same fender hole that my FMIC kit does. And some other uses the other. You have to ask the supplier when You order to be sure.
I have plan to swap the AEM filter I use now for a K&N filter that sucks air from all the angle. Then drill out a hole in the fog cover and mount a plastic snorkle up to the filter. It already sucks air from the original air inlet pipe.
Hope this helps
Regards
Johan

A few new pictures from Bilsport Action event that was held at Mantorp circuit in Sweden.
Up on the Hill :-)
Up-lining to the RS track
Eriks Gallardo 06 (The guy that has the yellow RS4, earlier in the thread)
Me (to the right) and Anders Block (Vice President of the Swedish Impreza Club) battles against each other "Who has the best looking Peltor helmet"
A little thing that showed up two weeks ago
Now I´m just waiting for the APS inlet pipe and the fuel rail. I hope they will show up this week.
In September me and a Friend has rented Gotland Ring in Sweden to arrange a track weekend (limited to 50 cars) again. This time there are even more powerful cars involved. I hope it will be the same sucess as it was last time :-)
Picture of the track. A truly beatiful landscape and the track is the best I have driven. In October me and some friends have plan for a trip to Nürnburgring, will post more info about that later.
Regards
Johan

in a word awesome
all this talk of lag is a load of rubbish
stock turbo made 1.5bar by 3400rpm. 20g is only 3600rpm. I only know this from data logging as its completely unnoticable on the road and the high end acceleration is fantastic.
Finally the car now feels similar to my old cossie.
Still running the STI topmount and the charge temps are good. Boost is capped to 1.1bar at the moment due to more fuelling required. Still makes 285bhp @ the wheels though

Sounds cool mate,
Yeah i really like the map based ECUs although i think the newage stock ECU is very good too. Shame its only really lacking a few things such as not being "live linked", no launch control, anti-lag and it requires a MAF.
Although some guys in the US aere running blow through MAFs, i would like to see one of those.
Good luck with your setup,, maybe see you at Gatebil next year

This is really interesting to read about the 18g/20g turbos. I'm currently debating which one to get. I was all the for 20g, but now i'm also thinking about the 18g, just to improve response.
Johan, keep us posted on how you find the 18g.
For the improved spool and a loss of only around 10/15bhp, i'm leaning towards the 18g.
Have a graph from Andy F (thanks) showing the difference between 18g v 20g if anyone is interested in me posting it.
Decisions....Decisions....

I think i'm gonna keep the TMIC, but can't decide on the turbo. Want lag to a minimum.

If I´m not satisfied I will sell it and go for another turbocharger. But now I have in mind to build a real good 2.0 litre engine (upgraded pistons, rods, camshafts, studs, head gasket etc) this winter with a Legacy closed deck block. But that Is just in my mind right now :-)
A Noble should be good also :-) Don´t know what to do yet.

A couple of new pictures from this weekends events. A Autocross competition that was held on a airway outside Stockholm. 30 cars was competing. I took the second place, and my girlfriend managed to take the first place of the girls. She was faster than many of the male club members also
Here are some pictures from the day:
Hard braking from 180 km/h
Cornering
Rear wheel took a lift
My girlfriend on the attack
Me driving a friends EVO IX
