Dr. Photo Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Anyone near O'Hare Airport interested in driving down to Boomba racing to check out if their throttle bodies would fit on our 6thGens? Also, does anyone know if we share anything in common with the WRX throttle body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEASER Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I know that their STi throttle body fits a 2013 3.6R but needed some machining for some reason.

Dr. Photo Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 I just got off the phone with Boomba, they said they would be happy to have a Legacy come over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Photo Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Da Roo will not be able to schedule with Boomba, is anyone else near O'Hare available to schedule with Boomba? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Photo Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Childish tendencies are kicking in real hard right now. I am most likely going to order the TB tonight or tomorrow and pop it on and give you guys some feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Photo Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 According to Boomba engineers, our throttle body is a physical match. They do not support me doing the install (they are covering their assess) but have confirmed physically it will fit. Throttle happy is also going to create a base tune for me so that I can run the tune along with the TB in one shot and have less of a chance of leaning out the motor. Will update you soon!

There is no hope. Sorry Robbie, no shiny new TB for Kwanzaa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieGT Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) I got upset at first but then read the part numbers and was like http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160813/e4729d82566c4b9ac906458a09eba0bc.jpg Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk Edited August 13, 2016 by RobbieGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Photo Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Just to confirm, The 2.5 & 3.6 share the same throttle body. Both will "physically" allow the Boomba upgrade to fit. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's confirm if it's bolt on or snap on. Yes, all servo motor lives matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieGT Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Sure thing, working at the moment but i'll venture out into the parking lot later on and snap a couple pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Photo Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 Guys, just an update. I'm gonna hold off on the TB for a little. After some thinking, I realized that I actually need a new set of rotors and brakes and will be putting on the WRX kit.

15LegacyRyan Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 What would be the "gains" from this. Making it easier for the air to enter the manifold after installing the takeda intake (if you have one) with the increased airflow it creates?

It's more for looks, but ideally it allows more air in. Whether your engine will even require more air is the question. They so these are relatively useless until you upgrade the internals of the motor. Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
