Hi guys,

Will be installing a full turbo back SS exhuast on my JDM STi-7 soon. Anyone got a pic of the engine bay showing exactly where the restrictor is ? Is it hard to change the restrictor, anyone posted a step by step of this ?

Downpipe: How hard is it to remove this and put the new one on and what did you guys use to cut the heat shield (hack saw ?)

I heard that the ITG panel filter is tricky to install properly, anywhere have a step by step on this for the new STi-7's JDM's ?

Finally the 'trick box' for the 02 sensor so CEL does not come on, is this easy top install ? any step by steps out there ?

Big thanks guys, just want to be prepared before I go to the garage as I may be doing most of the work myself.

Cheers,
Ray

 

Ray,
have you thought of just lagging your downpipe instead of cutting chuncks out of your heat shield (which i think can stay on if you have the ss d/p ?)
The restrictor is normally (well it is on my MY00 turbo) in one of the pipes going from the boost solenoid, at a T junction, not sure where it is on the STi7 thou but would have thought that there would still be pretty similar in design.

HI Tony,

Thx for input.

By lagging do you mean wrapping it in heat resistant cloth ?

Cheers,
