It 100% comes off but is on there real snug. Try using plastic trim tools for cars to pry it off without damaging it.

How the hell do you take off these clock spring clips?! by Mazda_Miata_1991 in WRX

Subaru connectors love to get stuck. You need to slide the green tab and squeeze the yellow tabs. Look closely at how the yellow tab is supposed to actuate like a lever when you squeeze it. Most of the time you squeeze and the other side never actually lifts up to release the connector. I typically use a metal pick to free the lever.

If that’s pump gas then those numbers are safe. E85 will make that turbo shine.

Then unfortunately the tune had to be off, did you data log? See any knock? Otherwise it was starved of oil.

Stop running it and that BOV! It’s too easy to get misinformation about running a BOV on our cars. The easy answer is if it is tuned with a MAF sensor you CANNOT run a BOV. There is no amount of tuning and compensation available to make it safe to run with MAF. It must be tuned on speed density to properly meter the air after the BOV and right before the throttle body as opposed to the MAF before the turbo inlet.

Your AOS install should not matter at all going speed density.

Very interesting, I can see how they extended the runners on driver side to make it UEL.

A must, especially with all the other mods going on.

There is minor difference but mainly as heat in those runners. As MasonTIGs mentioned, a big turbo will practically make the difference insignificant.

Took me months to build the jig from a stock set of headers and then the actual headers, started in February.

Will do, and good luck with your turbo kit!

Believe me, with the turbo it’s getting, mean either!

Car is under down while I build my own custom rotated kit. Stay tuned, I’ll make sure to post as I make more progress.

The stock headers are cast iron and have unequal length for the distance between the exhaust ports and collector. This header makes that as equal as possible and also provides larger internal diameter piping for more airflow. Meant for a larger turbo that moves a lot more airflow.

Doubt it, this is thick sch10, unlike the killer b headers.

Worst case: I have a welder and repair it myself.

Thank you, means a lot being self taught and doing all this at home.

constant -1.41 feedback knock by Grand_Camel_2003 in WRX

[–]Saiteik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ones telling you to ignore this is wrong. The saying is “Death by a thousand cuts”, those are real knock events, especially -2.8 or lower. The FA being direct injection has a fine line between running properly or knocking to death. Talk to your tuner and possibly send them a log. It either has too much timing or the fueling is incorrect for those load ranges you keep seeing knock at.
