RyanRNewberg Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I've got a 2005 1.5I, been looking at the borla rep uel header, and some intakes, 99% of what I see is for the GT, say I got the borla rep header, could I make this work for my N/A pretty easily? What would be involved? Same thing with the intake. Thanks in advance for any help that may come my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudeondacouch Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 The reason that 99% of stuff is for the GT is that modding the 2.5i is pointless. Save your monies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blongo804 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Man I'd be wanting to find ways to mod if I got a CA Exclusive 1.5i too. Maybe see if the AVO turbo kit still works on it.. Anyways, I second what dudeonacouch said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanRNewberg Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Well the only reason I'm asking is cause my wife's about to get a new car, so I dont wanna drop a ton of money on doing a swap (plan to in the future). I would however like to do some little things, pretty much just intake and exhaust, and doing all the cosmetic stuff I want to right now. Wish I was turboed too =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 No intake on a 2.5i. Intakes cause a malfunction in the MAF readings and can make the car stall when you floor it. Well documented. Wasting money trying to mod an N/A. It is a small aircraft engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanRNewberg Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Thanks M Sprank. Looks like all I'm doing is a cat back and all the cosmetic work I want till I swap it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 suspension/brakes, can be modified. cbe is not a problem. AVO turbo kit might be available, but very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDKSDMF Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 and i believe the exhaust manifolds are different and short ram intakes are NA specific.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Manifolds are different. Intakes are a "no-no" on N/A cars. There have been attempts to tune out the abnormality, but they are hacks, not a true fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDKSDMF Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 here is a pic of a nice na and here is a thread to start on http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/whats-your-non-turbo-car-look-like-115668.html.. theres threads on intake mods. dont set urself up to get flamed on here because it will happen fast, do ur research and if u cant find out then post away, trust me everyone debates and love to state their opinions (some blunter than others). Id go for show not go and also invest in a nice sound system and maybe a din where the flip up door is on the dash. u have a subaru so exploit the boxer rumble and make it fun on the inside.
