i think i get it, youre wondering if theres a difference between the original factory map and a stage 0? im curious what information smog sees now? i might have to go ask a smog tech. i no longer have a LGT but my current car i have a Cobb AP and stage 1 is CARB approved. however i am on a protune, but i wonder if i dont unmarry the AP and just reflash to stage 1 OTS map if that will be good enough because i also dont want to unmarry the thing.

Im in the Bay Area. I dont have an AP 002 anymore because i dont have my 05 LGT anymore either. I do have a resistor that should work, and I might have a stock map "stage 0" i could send you, if somehow that would help? have you tried your AP with a different cable?

wow! so it really was boiling? glad you got it solved (?) yeah caps are important, also the two caps are not the same if i recall, so whenever replacing make sure to get ones that hold the correct pressure. anytime theres a small leak in the coolant system it will cause it to not circulate as well and that could cause damage.

next time before you start your car after it has been sitting and the engine is completely cold.... click the key on, but dont start the engine, then turn the key off. if you hear the sound its not bubbling/boiling because nothing got hot. its the climate control actuators. common problem. if you ever take them out you can lube them up or replace them.

did you check wheel bearing?

prefer not to ship. i will accept most any reasonable offer, as i have no use for this now. 05-09 LGT engine cover in used condition (fair). i paid $80 for it. belt cover support bracket in new condition. i paid $14 for it. Wanted to fit it on my WRX, and it wouldve worked, except i changed the turbo inlet hose. now i have no use for this stuff.

If youre a fan of motorsports, or you just believe that manufacturers should have the right to make performance parts that people can purchase to modify their street car into a race car for use on a race track then this will interest you. It will be a shame if people can't build their street car into a race car anymore.

its the wheel bearing

youre talking about the thing below the airbox in the bumper? that wont make that sort of noise. it wont matter if you have that thing on or not. what kind of leak test did they do? because its obvious it has a leak. if your car sounds like it has a BOV check the clamps and fitment of the hoses near the bypass / recir ...whatever valve its called, the factory equivalent of the BOV. also make sure its tight to the manifold and the end tanks are on good.

check: alternator belt not tight enough or fusible link

if you weld an aftermarket cat into your downpipe, it is still illegal modification to factory emissions system and they will impound your car if they really want to. if you want to make legal modifications to your exhaust system it will have to be behind the FACTORY catalytic converter. resonator is pointless. having a cat will quiet it down and smooth out the sound.

i sketched up a diagram for someone, i thought it might be good to put it here too. this is from memory of something i did in a couple hours 4 years ago so apologies if its not exactly accurate but should get you there! as mentioned I havent owned a subaru for a few years now so i dont have an actual vehicle anymore for reference either

its the new radiator cap. also replace that hose!!!!

the coolant is becoming heated. theres too much pressure, thats why the hose is swelling. was the new thermostat tested before installed?

just because i have to ask; you've checked that the noise is coming from the transmission and not just where the pedal is mounted under the dash? or some short of linkage rubbing?
