Decked out? For a forester...Let's see

Big FMIC (i mean BIG), STI Spec turbo, 22b bottom end (2.2l), Top spec Motec computer. Total head rebuild with forged pistons etc. Dropped on it's guts, big wheels, exhaust.

When it just had STI intercooler (not FMIC)& turbo it ran a 13 flat. Expecting to dip into 11s when tuned for higher boost. Good for up to 30psi apparently. Let's not forget this is a freakin' Forester!

Thats a fast family car....

Also note a mate of mine got booked buy a couple of cops at his home for failure to pull over... The car that followed he home was a WRX flashing his head lights ans shit.... He was not gonna pull over cause it could have been anyone wanting to rape him... LOL he can oly wish.. Anyway it was an off duty cop and he wanted to pull him over for talking on he mobile... Then the uniform cops came around and booked him for both.,...

Thats BS is you ask me... Thats just bulling.....

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
