Ok, so it's coming up Tax Time and that means YAY more mods.

So... just to re-cap on what I have done so far.

* Tune
* Exhaust
* Coilovers
* Rims
* Rubber
* Head Unit/Reversing Camera

On the Wish List

* Alignment - Via John Fowler (already onto this one)
* Some other suspension/handling mods (I'm open to suggestions)
* R-Comps to go on my Factory Rims
* Upgraded Turbo (Something that still allows me to keep the top mount)
* Injectors
* Fuel Pump.
* Front Lip and Side Skirts (Not really essential)

Will be starting the shopping list soon so keen for feedback on the best options.

15-18k (ish) but I promised the missus I would give her 10k so let's say 5-8k.

Ah yes, the advantage of running this car as a company vehicle. 6k Per year on Petrol, 85% work KM's (all log booked), Depreciation, Insurance, Servicing, cleaning, all tax deductible.. plus home office rah rah rah. :-)

Yes E85 would be nice, but the mileage is already shit for a car that does 500km+ Per week.. would hate to see what E85 does to that as I get around 350km to a tank at the moment HAHA.

It's all for the new house Tony, so probably none :-(

What TD0X-XX is the Blouch 1.5XT based on? I ask because the Blouch that Scary has is simply fucking awesome at getting up to boost early and makes bulk Hp. I see no reason of getting bigger. Albeit Scary's is crammed and is actually a 2.7l.

Edit - partially answering my own question, the 1.5XT is a Garrett based turbo with a 10cm exhaust housing. The TD05-18G on mine and Scary's is a 8cm housing. Larger housing suggests more lag and less response but better top end flow.

From Blouch:

Application: Subaru 2005-2009 Legacy GT and 2008+WRX
Horsepower: 400HP


The LGT-380XT is an awesome 400 crank HP bolt-on upgrade for your 2008+ WRX or 2005-2009 Legacy GT featuring the following:

Custom WRX/Legacy fitment compressor housing
Blouch billet 40lb/min “XT” compressor wheel
Genuine Mitsubishi center housing with genuine Mitsubishi parts
Mitsubishi TD05H turbine wheel and shaft assy.
7cm2 or 8cm2 turbine housing options
Complete with coolant pipes and oil drain tube installed and turbo mounting gaskets

I would go the Blouch TD05-18G XTR (ball-bearing) with 8cm hotside.
That is what I will get when/if I upgrade.

Andrew - I don't think the turbo you mentioned will even go on the STi's due to the outlet/TMIC coupler not being rotated to point upwards like the 08+ WRX's and Legacy. The STi uses the standard (pre-08) configuration.
