  1. On my new 2009 legacy the red airbag light came on right after I bought it. Only 1 of the overhead LEDS worked. All 3 of the resistors had cracked solder joints. I reflowed everything with fresh solder and now all light lights work and the airbag light on the dash is off.
  2. My 05 LGT throwout bearing exploded for the second time at 251k. I picked up a new DD while I fix the LGT. Its a 2009 Legacy special edition. 140k miles. I'm driving 90 miles a day so the AT non turbo will help on gas and be easy to drive. I did the once over and found an unplugged connector under the coolant tank/ washer tank. Its maroon-reddish with small white and black wires. I am not getting a engine light and everything seems to work. Not sure where it goes. Ideas?
  3. Were the replacement turbos genuine OEM VF40s?
  4. Maybe take the skateboard out of the crib?
  5. Waste-gate flapper sticking open? The bushing can walk out over the years and cause the flapper to drag on the housing. The round door is then free to flap in the breeze. Mine made all kinds of racket on rev downs. Is it making proper boost quickly?
  6. Omni brewing Daily Dose has been my go to this winter.
  7. I'm surprised the wastegate bushing hasn't moved.
  8. There is a lot of crap out there. I would avoid the 'OEM' Bosal stuff and that other black OEM stuff on ebay. Complete Junk. I ended up with genuine Subaru midpipe and mufflers. Not cheap but it fit right, will last, looks right and is QUIET!. I'm a little mental about keeping the car 100% factory anyway. The original stuff I took off went thru 15 MN winters and 217k miles. Probably could've lasted another 5 years.
