    Well a manual FXT Sports package car yeah it is. The majority of the FXT's I've seen are automatics, expecially the "sport" package cars. No idea why but it seems to me much easier to find automatics.

        If anyone ever gets a subie that runs lean in boost, I'm just gonna post the info and datalogs here in case anyone wants to see.

        Fuel pressure test came back perfectly. Pegged at 65psi in boost, 43 at idle like it should be. It runs a bit over 20psi so that's just about perfect. It's a rising rate fuel system so each psi in the manifold should increase the fuel pressure 1psi.

        It's seeming like a sensor now, reading innacurately and misinforming the DME

          They brought significantly less manuals to the states. I know a few guys back east with the same car just auto, and they can't believe that mine is manual. I donno, I didn't even have to travel out of state to get it, it popped up right down the street after looking for a while and only finding junk.

          I still think that this thing with a VF39 and a downpipe would be the perfect car. But then I remember that it's a subaru, which means that if I modify anything, everything will break.

          It still cracks me up that Subaru's "oh sorry about that, my bad but we won't fix it" thing on these cars is an oil pickup tube prone to cracking, losing oil pressure, and spinning bearings.

          Bad 02s do that all the time when they fail.
