Name: Matt (im new to forums in general not just this one)
Ride: Subaru liberty gt 2004 model
Location: VIC
Mod: STI Front Lip, club spec 9 Rims powder coated charcoal, spats, sti coils and bilstein shocks and performance wise just a dump pipe for now!
Plans: Finish exhaust, intercooler, 3 port, tune and bov up soon hopefully as well as a head unit upgrade this weekend
Previous Rides: Had my love affair of wagon start off with a VS V6 wagon (one of the cleanest around), a 2005 rs impreza which drove me to love Subarus. I also had a few non notable dailies here and there. But this is my first non p plate legal car!







This weekend install list! Automatic turbo timer with boost gauge (mainly because i feel the car is quicker than it should be so i want to check boost levels)



And last weekends mods

Have you considered a tune? Eg ThrottleHappy etc

Tune is on the books asap, turns out im peaking boost at 18.5psi before holding at 15.5 till it winds the gear out (auto, no hate please couldnt hold out any longer for a manual). When it spikes there is black smoke hopefully indicating too rich which is better than it leaning out.

Also i tapped my line that runs to the bov for the reading. Since then it has a more distinct blow off sound. I assume this is safe and accurate. This line was also disconnected when i received the car, should i worry about any of this?

Which line was actually disconnected?

If the car wasn't previously tuned I don't think you should see 18 psi on a stock tune.

If you have upgraded the dump, get a tune ASAP. I wouldn't be boosting it otherwise...

The vac line the top of the bov was completely disconnected

Afaik it hasnt been tuned. I was hoping to get kido to do but he is in melb till January. And i have tried to contact him to no avail. Now is throttlehappy just as good? But be worth getting done so i can drive it properly again

fix all leaks n do a learning view.
Perhaps a local member can help you with this??
Monitor your oil level and use too

KiDo Tuning = Matt McLeod = Throttlehappy = good times! He's a busy man, but if you have PM'd he will eventually respond.

Take it easy until you get it tuned.
