Mod Ideas?
welcome! i dont think youll find much in the range of fuel injectors with better atomization for our older cars. if youre concerned theyre a bit gummed up, run through a tank of premium fuel with a bottle of gumout. im not familiar with SPFI, i think its like throttle body injection (1 big injector?) but the same still applies. custom exhaust is almost always specially fabricated, so piping and mufflers are your choice. dont get much bigger diameter exhaust, or youll lose some power due to the loss of backpressure. and dont waste your money on the tornado. you might pick up a few more mpg, but thats only because youre carrying a much lighter load in your wallet.

What is that supposed to go to?
might that be related to the cruise control? CC hasnt worked in that car as long as ive owned it. (not like i need it but just curious)

Starting To Have An Overheating Problem
the length of the wire would have something to do with it indeed. more wire, more resistance. i would also check to make sure you have good metal to metal contact on your terminals.

What is that supposed to go to?
so im diggin around lookin for the green connectors for timing under the dash. i found those, and i also found a random connector (left of pic)that didnt look like it had a counterpart. it doesnt mate with the white connector in the background. and what are the black ones for?

No boost?!?!?!
are you 100% sure the turbo spins freely? have you tried pressurizing the intake tract to see if it leaks or not?

Tex's RX thread for... April '06!
im going to check this out on my wagon when i get a chance. im getting like 12" of vac at idle. if this is found to be faulty, do i just get another TB from the junkyard?

PT awd to FT awd?
your D/R fulltime should swap right in. now if you want to swap an EJ motor in, the tranny wont bolt up without some sort of adapter, but i would think to swap the ej tranny with the motor as well.

No turbo boost gauge?
nkx replied to Spacinjason's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXautometer makes some nice stuff. i think the newer models are available with different background colors to match your interior.

Aluminum Pullys
should add a bit more grunt, but it also has to be balanced properly so it doesnt fly apart when spinning at high rpms.

Code 21???? with PICS!!!
it was a PITA when i replaced mine. you have to remove the 4wd plenum, and i undid a few bolts that held a hardline in place to allow clearance for my socket. (you need a deep-well socket, i only have impact deep-well sockets, you might have a bit more ease removing it if your tool selection is broad.) make sure the contacts on the wire arent corroded. apparently the corrosion is a leading cause of what sets off that CEL code.

pcv valve is rearward of the throttle body, has a plastic hose that curves out and up to meet the rest of the plumbing coming from the valve covers.
