you can get a fitting kit to change the ssqv to a recirculating one, not sure if you need more than the fitting below in link

Also well documented on here about problems with them effecting performance and fueling
Do a search hundreds of posts on the subject over he last few years

Wooshh look at me

Duh
I won't laugh at anyone, I am not one of these so called Subaru people I am a Human being that does things and buy's thing that I like, I laugh more at people who spend their lives worrying what others think and feel the need to be the same as everyone else, As for the hundreds of posts, Well you may be correct but I cannot actually find any threads that suggest what you are saying and I have done a search, Find some proof in what you are saying before you quote what you have read and I don't mean sending me a link to another "what dump valve thread" that says the same as this one with no proof Nothing against other peoples opinion's but they are just that, An opinion, Not fact! If one person experiences a problem it doesn't mean everyone will, There are hundreds of Subaru's running around with vta dump valves that have not been mapped that have been running like that for years with no problems, The info I have seen on the internet suggests that the ones they tested which did cause overfuelling between gear changes was so minimal that it wasn't worth worrying about anyway as missing a service was likely to do more damage, Some have been reported to cause running problems straight out of the box for certain people and the answer to that is simple also, Don't use one of these use one people have reported to work well, You cannot condemn every single make out there, It would be a bit like saying every single Impreza on this forum is rubbish and unreliable because Joe Bloggs' one blew up the other day

Well I can only speak from experience.
I fitted a Turbo XS VTA dump valve to my STI 4 (MY1998). I was 24 at the time and just loved the noise it made. But there was one issue....the driveability.
On part throttle, the motor was very jerky, so much so that I thought I had a problem.
I changed the valve back to standard and the problem went away immediately.

I also noticed that there was less lag when I changed gear with the standard valve as opposed to the vta. I believe many vta suppliers quote a different story!

I also noticed the same when a friend of mine bought another of my old scoobies and fitted a HKS vta. Yes, it sounded great (at the time - grown up a bit now!) but the 'stutter stutter judder' symptons were still there.

For £200, I'd spend it on ****** and coke!

Save yourself some money and take the resonator box out from the driver side wing...
You get the sound without loosing performance
