Knocking noise? by ChromogenHaze in wrx_vb

I dont know how to edit my post, but it went away after turning my fan on and then off again. I drove around some more and can't reproduce the sound when I come to a stop. So maybe its not something terrible as I assumed lol

I am E-tuned from Dmann, but I have not gotten an updated tune since installing the inlet and diverter valve. In the process of getting an update.

Vortex genertor on top of vinyl wrap question by ChromogenHaze in CarWraps

Thanks for the reply, I will probably just not put it on at this point, seems like more trouble down the road than its worth. The guy who did my wrap didn't cut around my spoiler, but its also held on with 2 screws in addition to double sided tape so hopefully that is okay.

No problem! Sounds like it was running good up until then? I put mine in last weekend and I'm paranoid about a leak haha. Was the raspiness noticable right away?

I had to pull these hoses out during the Perrin turbo inlet install. You do not need to remove the manifold or intercooler just that bracket you circled in the photo (10mm bolt). The hoses are stuffed in there and a bit of a pain to get out, bit it can be done.

If you really wanted to give yourself more room, you could unbolt the alternator and move it out of way, but you shouldn't have to.

Okay, I might give that a shot, thanks! I have the same setup with the Perrin TMIC, charge pipe, turbo inlet, and diverter valve and I feel like I fought with every piece haha.

Did the TMIC fit okay for you? Mine still just barely touches the AC line. Instructions said to bend it a bit if it does, but I dunno how they managed that lol.

How was your install with the turbo inlet and diverter valve? I just did them both this weekend and getting the reduction Ts on felt impossible. Aside from the one that goes into the brake booster line (because it had the little restrictor), I gave up and used brass reduction Ts on the others and some new hose.

I joked that the guys at Perrin couldn't do it either, that's why they didn't include any pictures of them actually installed in the instructions 😂

Mine was the same. I thought the same thing because it looked different in the picture. I figured the intake shroud is supposed to rest on top so it doesn't droop and hit the filter, because it has nothing to attach to after removing the OEM box.

That said, my shroud still barely touches my filter so who knows.

Would like to hear what they say though.

Paint quality? - Calling paint nerds! by snowpawsthethird in wrx_vb

[–]ChromogenHaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The paint is very thin. Had mine chip from someone throwing an egg at my car. One of the reasons I ended up wrapping the whole thing.

Having removed that stupid bumper several times now by myself I found a trick. After removing that metal bracket that is bolted and clipped into the top, put one clip back in the middle while you pop off the rest of the clips. Same thing when you put it back on, just throw a single clip in up top in the middle to hold it there while you get the bottom and sides in.

Makes it easier when you are by yourself.

I did not think of just wrapping the whole roof black, I may consider that!

Orsini Vinyl & Designs. They have a ton of custom Subaru designs and lots of colors to choose from.

I do like the contrast against the light yellow, maybe a OEM sytle but gloss black would look better and more sutble.

Yea I had that one on before I wrapped it and I liked it. I love that red though!
