  1. Same here. I haven't been driving mine much. I take the train a lot or need drive my wife's 2015 Forester Touring; great car btw. The new 2.5/CVT are mated well. Just went I thought the tune was over, Edward contacted me with some rapid fire updates. It was like he read my mind solving an irking issue I was having with power delivery at low rpm between 1400-2000. In 4-5 gear there was some power loss too. Much of that is solved and then of course more timing and ignition on 92 octane. Still logging to refine the car if I can just get to actually have time drive it. Seriously Edward needs a standing ovation
  2. The only option I ever found was to use an older 3.0 H6 manifold. Yes, its aluminum but heat soak is small; port match it and ceramic coat it. If you're really worried about soak, you could have some phenolic spacers made up. Those should be cheap to make up; maybe $100. There are companies that can p&p your throttle body if you send it to them. Those services usually cost about $400.
  3. Yes I did. Here is my post about it http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/port-polish-your-throttle-body-226084.html I only worked on the intake side since I wasn't about to try and port match to a plastic intake manifold. No I didn't take the pin out. That would mean drilling out the screws & breaking the electronics to pull the pin & valve. I'd have no way to reassemble without sending it out or a working car for a while without a spare. New OEM replacements are around $500 and the salvage yards had reasonable prices but each I talked to about getting a spare were.....well...dicks when I asked them for the condition of the part.
  4. Coolant goes through that line but you could always run a bypass around it.
  5. The size of the throttle plate is stamped on the valve. Here is a photo of mine before my second pass of grinding and polishing. http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p165/danbob_bucket/IMG_4699_zps1a53675a.jpg This link below from Boomba's has a different image angle of the body. The extra bolts must be hidden behind this weird sandwich construction. The WRX/STI have four bolts just like ours. http://www.boombaracing.com/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-75mm-dbw-throttle-body-bolt-on/ My feeling is since there is a 09 GT fitment (I'm like 90% sure) we have the same size TB casing so it might line up. Anyway the on Boombas site price is sounds a lot better than $700.
  6. Actually, you already have support, you just need your ECU rom defined. This can be done by downloading your rom, joining Romraider, and uploading your rom while being a bit patient. Edward uses Romraider to assist in some rom definitions. Not to be too much a shill for Edward, I only mentioned him because he can guide you through tuning remotely. I'm in Pennsylvania USA and Edward is in Barbados. I'm over 300 miles from the nearest Subaru tuner so its not exactly doable with a family which made him ideal. The fact that he can do the job made it worth it.
  7. For tuning your 2.5l check with Edward at http://www.xtremeracingtuning.com/ He can probably do something bout the tuning on your car. He's done the previous gen 2.5. I'm not sure if he can do the cvt but he's pretty clever.
  8. The EZ30 and the EZ36 are very similar and the EZ30D from the early 2000 model H6 has an aluminum intake manifold. If one of those can be picked from a junker there is a high possibility it'll fit. Then you could possibly get them port matched; EZ30D manifold and the EZ36 throttle body.
  9. I'd send those headers to a place like JetHot for a coating. http://www.jet-hot.com/
  10. Didn't you need a special tool to freeze the crank pully bolt?
  11. Buy one piece of gutter guard, spray paint it black, and cut to fit. It's an identical pattern.
  12. Yeah, a third hole,.... just behind the knee. Really since you've gone that far mind as well cut out all that fake plastic mesh and replace it with the real stuff.
