Thanks for the welcome. No E85 in the UK so will just have to make do with what I've got

I do like the front wings your running, considered getting them but have to spend money on other essentials first.

Ok after having read the entire thread on here about SC systems two things spring to mind. 1. I need a 58mm pulley and 2. When the headers arrive I think it will be wise to go for a 3 inch exhaust system from header to tailpipe.

Have decided to get KiDo to do the mapping. Just getting my laptop cleaned up to ensure minimum issues when logging.

Minor update, had my first two tunes from Matt, sure does make a difference in the way the power is delivered . Could spend the rest of the day just relearning all over again how the car drives. The headers should be with me later this week along with the 58mm pulley. Picked up a 3 inch ss cat back exhaust system today which will be joined up with the headers when installed. Then it will be time to install the sc kit. Can't wait now.

Right time to move things on. The window of opportunity to get all the sc kit fitted is the week after the second bank holiday monday.

So I need to get the exhaust system fitted up before then.

Although it may well get fitted on the tuesday after the bank holiday with the sc kit being fitted over the following days. The original plan was to go down to a friends garage and get this fitted but its proving a challenge dates wise as the poor chap does need a holiday. 

So this is going to be a bit more of challenge as I have no ramp and if its raining going to be very wet.....
Actually fitting the sc is the easy bit its fitting the 340 l/ph fuel pump, 3 bar map sensor and 550cc injectors that will take up more time.

So after having read the sc installation stuff loads of times I'm now going over the installation guides from Subaru for the other items,
It all seems pretty straight forward, however, Hallie and I have discussed on a number of occaisions that being one small over looked item short like an o ring could easily bring the process to a halt, then how long will it take to source the part? Its ok if this is on your 'weekend ' car but mine is a daily driver and needs to be back in action by the friday.

Oh and i would like the car to do a power run on a rolling roads before the sc is fitted to see where we starting from

The final parts of the jigsaw are here, let the build commence on the 26th May. Have to say just lovin the Maps that Matt has already given me can't wait to see what happens when I add in the sc, not long to go now.

A fun project that I can only look on in awe

Good to see more supercharge kits going on. Make sure you keep the pics up and the stories flowing

Ok quick update.

Tuesday 8.30am the car goes on a rolling road with a great Map from Matt loaded up to get a baseline power figure then straight after the sc install begins and then on thursday at 8.00am the exhaust gets sorted with the headers.

You have a great deal of patience.
This is going to be a very neat install!

After a couple of days hard graft the sc is in and Matts tune loaded up, only issue was getting the fuel pump to fit.

Off to get the headers and exhaust fitted tomorrow morning.

Got the headers and the exhaust fitted up today





Installed the uprated fuel pump, finally after that so all was good to go and have some fun.
10mins later the engine has gone into limp mode due to a fault logged by the obd reader as no fuel temp data running closed loop, whatever that means.

Oh well more fun and games tomorrow.

Ok fault sorted it was being caused by the AFM, now all working great. Been on afew short runs limiting myself to 6000rpm for short periods while I build up my confidence in my install. It feels epic the exhaust really sounds amazing over 5000rpm looking forward to having some fun.

Can you pop up a vid of the sound outside the car?

Please.

And enjoy!!
