Just got an oil and air filter from Subaru (because I need them this afternoon and I'm not organised enough), so whilst I was there, just out of interest I got a price for a pollen filter... nearly £60! I nearly fell over!

Yeah, if I was more organised I'd have got the lot off H. Kinda needed them there and then. I removed my pollen one the other day and knocked all the rubbish out and put it back...

Spoke to harvey smith today about porting headers as im woried about the lag i may get with the 20g. he qouted me £381 and exchange for my headers/manifold. very helpful guy and very reasonable labour charges but i would like to know who else offers this service to keep my options open. so any ideas folks?

I've got the Harvey Smith ported manifold and his uppipe. Well well worth it mate, had them since my WRX and put them on the STi when I bought it. I more than felt the difference in response etc.

I think the combo of his manifold and up pipe is the better side of response you can get with the 20G. However the stainless manifolds would probably net more top end at the sacrifice of low end response. But again.. stainless manifolds with one of Harveys specific uppipes are great too.

He knows his stuff when it comes to response, so I would be inclined to listen to his opinion on your mods.

Oh yeah I don't doubt what he says but I'm just wondering if there's a cheaper alternative lol as I was surprised how much it is but if no viable alternative is found ill definitely be ordering one as I don't want to lose any of the sound or sacrifice spool up time. Just not sure if to ditch my sports cat either after speaking to him only trouble is I can't afford both without putting the rest of the mods off for a month or two

I did my own Andy, its worth doing it for what it cost, if your not happy then, buy one, you will get lag from a 20g either way, unless you go stand alone ecu, hence antilag enabled.

Awesome. Yeah I can see the issue. I've been considering upgrading but everything's so expensive
