Same here. I’ve ordered a lot from them and never had any issues other than lack of communication when something is back ordered. They always respond within a day or two when I have questions, and have been perfectly willing to swap or cancel orders when a back order is taking longer than...

As nibble said, that's just once during the initial setup, and a regular bike pump would work. Other than that all assembly is with regular hand tools (plus some teflon tape and some ATF from the auto parts store). Actual daily usage doesn't require anything at all except power. You just...

No, just power, other than that it’s all contained in the kit

I haven't, and from what I understand the throttle plate is 100% open all the time on the B58, when you let off the gas it doesn't pull vacuum, so I'm not sure how a traditional BOV would work. This kit appears to be electronically controlled somehow (mention of a solenoid and solenoid...

That's because the STi uses a MAF sensor for fueling. It measures the air velocity at a very specific spot in the intake pipe and then estimates the total air flow from that. Anything that changes the air flow pattern in the intake pipe at the MAF sensor location (such as a new intake) screws...

That's not a thing on turbo cars, the turbo itself will provide all of the backpressure you might "need". You want the exhaust restriction after the turbo to be as low as possible. Just google "turbo backpressure", literally every single match will tell you that it's bad and why.

Then while you don't need the wheels yet, you're still going to need them eventually. Why sell them for a loss unless you changed your mind and are going in a different direction?

Just to give one reference point: I have a 2021 with a 3/20 build date. This means the ECU is tunable, but like all 2021s, it still requires a bench unlock. I went with Visconti Tuning, it was a total of $1700. That's $700 for a remote unlock where Visconti ships some hardware to you, you...

Have you been emailing them? I've had to cancel or modify a few orders over the last several months and they always respond within a day or so, I haven't had any issues getting money back or swapping for equivalent products that are in stock.

Any dyno charts for these? I'm curious how dropping the twin scroll exhaust housing affects spool.

My guess is the global parts shortages are starting to limit supply and so the prices are going up to match demand. I just bought my 2021 3 months ago for $5k under MSRP because it had been sitting on the lot so long (3/20 build date). They had 3 others there too that had been there just as...

How long did it take you guys to receive your vents once you got the shipping email? I got my email on 6/14, so coming up on 4 weeks ago, and haven't received anything. I've tried emailing [email protected] twice about the issue and have heard nothing back. As slobra above said, their...

It's not that protecting the environment is ridiculous, it's that rules like these make things even worse. What's the environmental impact of burning a quart of oil every 1k miles and destroying the engine every 50k miles, including all of the wasted material and CO2 emissions involved in...

That's viscosity, in both cases. Hot oil is thinner, runnier, easier to pour, easier to flow, easier to stir, and whatever other adjectives you want to use to describe something that's less viscous, than cold oil is.

It shows both, adjacent columns, they show the same behavior. No, it doesn't. Take a 30 weight oil (no winter rating, just straight SAE 30), it will have a viscosity of say 1000 when cold and 10 when hot. Now take a 0 weight oil (no winter rating, just straight SAE 0), it will have a...

That's viscosity Again, that's viscosity, same thing. No, the viscosity drops when it warms up, it flows easier, pours easier, thins out, whatever you want to call it. This is backed up by observation from anyone who's done an oil change and the data in the link I posted previously.

Oil absolutely thins out when warm, the viscosity changes by over an order of magnitude. Have you never done an oil change on a cold car vs a hot car? https://wiki.anton-paar.com/en/engine-oil/

If you're after a thicker wheel, there are plenty of aftermarket options that retain the OEM core (which means the OEM airbag and all of the OEM buttons) and just re-skin it in a different [thicker] finish.

Unless you're starting your car up at -20C or below, a 0W vs 5W rating doesn't really matter. I'd hazard a guess that 90% of the cars on this forum aren't driven below 0C, where even a 10W would be fine. In general, the smaller the gap between the "winter" rating and the 100C rating, the more...

Manufacturer recommendations are full of bad advice that are just thrown in there for emissions, marketing, or legal reasons. 0W20 is only recommended for emissions reasons, it is woefully inadequate for a high power turbo car, full stop. That turbo will rip it to shreds long before the oil...
