    when it comes to subaru motors, always go OEM. for some reason aftermarket parts for subaru always fail. i have had to redo Tstat and water pump on a WRX 3x due to leaks.

    I've run both OS and the apv2 and actually recommend the apv2 over OS.
    That was the goal. Because we are only running one map we see no need for the cobb AP.

    BTW when engine management will you be using? stock subaru ecu with apv2 or standalone?
    The stock subaru ecu. Our tuner has offered to do open-source tuning for us. We were going to go with an aem standalone that would have separate tunes, one for e85 and one for pump) but e85 is nonexistent where we live so it would have been a waste.

    come with the kit or buy it separately?
    The RPM/speedo/etc cluster? It's a KOSO unit. Waterproof. Made for motorcycles/jetskis.

    We bought it separately from ebay IIRC.

    Nice,

    I meant MOVING... like fast lol.
    Lol, so do we. Can't wait to have it tuned! Just a few more bugs to sort out. We only get like 8 hours a week to work on it so progress moves somewhat slow.

    Thanks! And yes that's around what we want.

    Look a few posts up. I posted a short running video :)

    I'm curious. You mentioned a EJ205 before but it has AVCS. Is it a V8 EJ207 (The immobilizer would make it a v8 not a v7) or is it a USDM EJ257?

    Those Borg Warner turbos are pretty potent. I'm guessing you guys are shooting for around around 350whp?

    I can't wait to see some videos of this thing moving.

    Reverse light mounted and wired up. It's pretty bright, the pic doesn't show that however.



    We made the shields for both sides (immobilizer side and ECU side)



    And also a shield for the intake/filter.



    Wired up the boost control solenoid valve. It uses an EV-1 plug so I had to snip off the old plug and wire up this one.



    We also wired up the cluster. RPM works along with most of the other functions. We are working on getting an accurate speedo.

    Thanks man, that bead roller works surprisingly well! It's a lot easier having 2 people work it, one to turn the handle and the other to feed/guide the sheet.
