  1. Oh, assumed it was a stock turbo. Like I said it might make more (30-40whp) elsewhere on a different configuration. Wicked fast car though. Nice work!! I'll try to get my charts sent over to you.
  2. 259 @ 18-13 psi. I'd say 245 is fairly accurate for you. Keep in mind, I could possibly make 245 on the dyno you ran on. Horsepower figures can be a wash when making comparos. It could be the smaller turbo that gives you a quick launch In first or the 7000 rpm redline.
  3. That thing hauls. You'd have me beat by 2 lengths from 0-100 kph.
  4. Same can be said for the VF-40 Maybe the 52 is safer at stage 2? This is what I tell myself:rolleyes: boost comes on later with the same torque as original turbo - although It's tuned to run less peak boost. The V3 for 08/09 AT outback and legacy is the go-to for daily driven cars. People don't seem to chase big numbers on autos these days, go figure. The 5EAT tuning is geared towards race car aspirations and there is not really any tangible data/reviews on its' progress for the 08/09 USDM LGT. Were the load values for shifting ever adjusted on the dyno/road on your car? VDC on or off?
  5. It was also a test mule with a valve body, injectors, fmic. The few upgraded 08/09 autos that I know of use the V3-sub-003. I would'nt have upgraded the turbo without confirmation from owners who have done the same.
  6. There's no point in searching out for the obi-wan kinobi of 5EAT mastery, plenty of tuners out there (both on and off this forum) can tune an automatic Legacy GT. I was tuned on a load-chassis dyno with the VDC disabled, it's perfect now I wasn't concerned so much with the shift speed since the pedal mostly gets mashed for 3rd gear pulls. On that note, will suggest that any overtaking or hard acceleration maneuvers should be done in manual mode. If you want to get the auto mode tuned to your liking, it might soak up a lot of money by the time you're complete with no guarantee that it will be worth it, just a thought. Some things you can do... Motyl gear 75-90 (Motul) for front and rear differentials. Amsoil synthetic ATF for the gearbox. Or Motul ; ) Whiteline rear diff insert PN# KDT 927
  7. The 255's might get shredded, or worse mangle the entire quarter panel on the right bump. Might want to buy a heat gun.
  8. Was implying that the manual paddle/switch flip coupled with a fast ship would be ideal. I've seen the trans-go videos, tough to tell if it actually shifts faster than my own car. ^might just come down to that too. Do you guys ever run datalogs during your shift operations and review it? Would that be an accurate way of determining how quickly the transmission grabs under WOT? Also, does 5eat tuning pay any mind to daily driving duties in auto mode?
  9. I really did'nt get much from the 5EAT tuning videos. Would certainly be interested in knowing your trans mods and seeing the video, sounds like you're onto something here. If it can shift faster (on command) than a dsg, I'm sold. But again, how much work does it take to dial this in? I don't know if it would be worth the risk to run an "off the shelf" transmission map.
  10. You would need some type of hydraulically actuated paddle system to get the instashift that everyone expects from manual mode. These will never shift like a formula one car. Are you sure? There are RT monitors in newton metres on my AP. As far as I know, accessport tuners are able to manipulate these tables as well.
  11. That's actually a solid build plan. Go buy a G....he has longblock already?! "See ya good luck" This is a bold endeavour my friend and hats off to you for putting something together.
  12. You might want to make sure theres a hanger there too for the other muffler. From what I can see in pics there's no second popout for single exit cars
