  1. Many of the OB guys are getting the premium and limited models and installing the Touring's (and JDM's) lower roof rails. The lower ones cost in the hundreds of dollars. Which is cheaper than the difference of touring over limited. And I do almost completely stop/go/traffic/city (sub 30mph) driving with my '18 3.6, and I'm sitting right at 20mpg, lol.
  2. Potential red flags: "It has an occasional misfire, it's probably just the coil pack" "New Turbo" "Overheated but replaced X and it's ok" "It just quit running one day, I think it's just a sensor"
  3. And they are awesome! (have them on my 3.6R limited OB)
  4. They did mine down here in Orlando a couple weeks ago. They went through the cubby solely.
  5. I know i'm interrupting mid story, but did you ever find out what code it lit up before the turbo peaced out?
  6. I don't see why it'd be any different from the regular LGT '05 ecu. The engines and drive-trains are the same.
  7. Granted it's not ideal per-se, but I'm running the stock USDM map, no exhaust avcs connected, and a VF40 on my EJ20X and it runs absolutely perfect! I only tuned out the DTC for TGVs and that was it. I don't know if I manually tuned it that it'd get any better. I originally bought a JDM ECU also but no one in Orlando wanted to program the immobilizer so I just worked with what I had on the US one. I haven't opened them up, but I bet you could flash the JDM map onto the US ECU. The pins are probably connected internally just not read for the exhaust AVCS. May be worth a shot?
  8. Long shot but throwing it out there. Have a wingless in OBP but needs repainting. Want a winged! In central FL
  9. Another reference point: I spent around 1,600 and 3 weekends pulling the motor and replacing it with a 40k-50k mile used engine myself.
  10. If you're having someone else do it, with new parts. I wouldn't be surprised if it was $4K+ by time your all said and done. By yourself might could get under 3K. Depends on how much has to be rebuilt (short block vs long block, new vs old turbo etc)
  11. I am quite literally in the middle of this same swap on my 05 LGT Sedan. I have a JDM ECU I'm hoping will plug up and run with the appropriate immobilizer programming. I stuck with the JDM intake manifold and connections because they all hooked up fine. But I am using the US VF40 turbo/intercooler/header/up and down pipes so that'll be less parts to buy. I've got the new motor in the car, replaced the entire cooling system and hooked it up, mostly just waiting on fluid changes and lengthening the JDM harness to connect to the main plug on the opposite side of the car. Hopefully this weekend have a running car.
  12. I've got another car (non subaru) that is doing that same thing. Once it starts there's no real way to make it stop. I've heard people say they have used Goo Off or a scotch brite pad and soap but it'll just keep coming back over time. I think it's just degrading in the heat and sun. +1 to a sunshade to make it last as long as possible and keep it from fading out.
