  1. Thanks for the input everyone. I think its really great that there are places out there like USMB. But mostly its the people that make it so cool. Anyone know for sure if there is any seat of the pants advantage to running the MPFI, as opposed to the SPFI. Or as Subaru calls it, a TBI.
  2. Is there any advantage. to installing the larger air sensor and intake from a 85 turbo, onto the 88 SPFI EA82? I was thinking it might be close to a perfomance mod. But then I've read here where weight reductions all you can really do with the 88 GL wagon type subaru, other than a new motor. Also, is there a special bracket for the alternator you need after you remove the AC pump? Do you just buy another belt? (probably just ansewered my own question). Is there any advantage to turning the SPFI into a MPFI with the 85 turbo heads. Can you modify the turbo intake into a non-turbo intake. Myself I tend to think my grandpa was right when he told me "if it works don't fix it" But in Harley school they taught us, the more air the better. Was just wondering if any of that applied to the stock 1.8L. I bought the 85 turbo ($150.) thinking I'd put it into my sons 88 GL he just got. But since then I've learned that the 85 EA82T was'nt one of subarus better products. I've decided to keep the 88 SPFI EA82 where its at. It just seems a shame that I have a 85 EA82T/GL-10 with 180k on it. And I don't get to use it some how. Any suggestion? I live in oregon if anyones interested in parts. For anyone reading.thank you for your time, and have a nice day.
