Hey,

Yeah, hope the attachment works.

Cost effective?  Is it possible for a few hundred, rather than over $1k. :mda:

Dosh was spent on buying the car/insurance!

if you want to go cheap, wind more boost through the smaller turbo and hopefully it joins with the second turbo. But if you bought a B4 make the car last awhile and a chip tune of 1-2k would be the way to go. The autos in the B4 seem to pass this flat point by dropping gears and increasing revs, can be a bit annoying in the manuals but I dont think it is that bad compared to the 180sx I got, I am flat to like 3,000revs and then I take off.

Cheers all,

Glad to be part of the Suby 'family',  Drooled for too long over me bro's MY99 Rex!  Although, i do miss the manual at times!

As for the ECU chip, are any other mods required or is it a simple swap/tune?

K.

Sorry for my lack of mechanical knowledge, but whats the cost for the remap?  and anyone in Melb can recommend a place to do it?

Cheers.

aaahh ic.  wondered what VOD meant in other discussions.....

Cool thanks. 

I had just research about APS in Melbourne and will give one of their distributers a buzz for a quote/info.

Cheers!

Welcome..... GO THE MIGHTY B4. HA HAHAHAHAHAHA.

With the VOD, you end up just driving around it. ITs not THAT bad once you get used to it....... Mind you, i can't remember the VOD anymore...... what with a 2.2 Stroker motor, Haltech Interceptor and full exhaust i don't have a VOD

There i go, showing off again!!! Sorry im in a funny mood, maybe its the burbon that im drinking!!! mmmmmhhh love fridays!@!!!!!!

Cheers Billsy,

Personally i really would prefer to restrict mods and keep it as stock as possible.  However, if i could tune out the VOD with a chip remap, that would be no probs. 

I was also considering a K&N pod air filter.  My brother seemed to experienced some air flow probs with it in his MY99 WRX for some reason so he didn't recommend it.  Would i experience any such probs in the B4?

Thanks for your suggestions!

Welcome to the forums!  And NICE car!
Might be best to save your money for the regular servicing your new car will need!! :scare2:
The deadspot is a twinturbo thing and is best dealt with by all-of-the-above especially 'stroking' - altogether not cheap!
BTW I think pod air filters (and show off valves) only really help you gain attention from the man.. plus I heard you lose fuel economy.. :beee:  you can get better filters for the existing intake box and if you want to retain a stock appearance.. :mda: most people want a little louder exhaust is all..
But back to the VOD - I do agree with the notion that an interceptor can be moved from car to car so makes better sen$e..  try eBay..  That is unless someones doing remaps for free!! 
"It's who you know"  :bye:

excel - hahahaha
there's plenty in the forums about what u can do..
It comes down to lot's of shiny stainless steel under the hood or not!   as mentioned, I like the thought of a standard engine bay (a la sleeper) but thats just me..
I do however admit to being VERY tempted by this list from AVO: <http://avoturbo.com/avo/html/subaru/retail_price_list_subaru.htm> as hoses are a nice tweak (they make sense)  - sad thing is I'm actually most tempted by the TMIC.. :alcoholic

sorry, i didn't exactly mean the turbo lag off the line.  The subsequent autoshifts seems to hit the VOD smack bang.  Probably why i always prefer the sports-shift or maybe its just my old manual ways!  Or perhaps i'm just a new B4 owner who's now experienced the TT surge and expect more and more each drive! :blush2:

I intend to retain my auto trans for a long time to come thanks! :mda:
