I'm not sure, but different dealers may fix that for free, as it's a TSB - that nebulous area between a pay-for-it-yourself fix and a recall.

Ya, i went to 3 different subaru dealers here, and they all gave me the run around... it was really like a slap in the face to me, being that i work for a honda dealer myself, and i see the amount of things that are out of warranty that honda "good-wills" for customers.

If I did the new turbo, I'd probably have to do the new tranny sometime thereafter because I would be putting down 315+awhp with a 16g.

At that point, its best to just buy the STi for the tranny, the bigger displacement, suspension, interior, and brakes.

I might go to a Legacy GT next but I'm unsure. This car is more than enough to get me in trouble as it is, I probably should buy something slower and more luxurious.

1/4mile with a good driver and tune it should be 12.9ish depending on elevation.

Lol. I asked what your 1/4 mile time is now . . . not after you do all those mods.

This kid in my hometown has a yellow bugeye that made around 400awhp. I raced him on the highway and barely pulled on him (he had a packed car . . . 5 heads).

He said he feels like a moron for dumping mad $$$ into the car and not doing the tranny b/c of his inability to race the car at a track and get some hard times down on paper

I told you what it should be 12.9ish after the tune. I wouldn't run the car before a tune. Comparable cars with lesser mods have run around that time.
