had the torn IC to TB coupler… picked up the new coupler from fred @ capitaland subaru and swung over to synapse quick. asked morgan if he could gimme a hand putting it in as im having some issues with wrenching still fron the fucked up wrist/surgery and all. pulled the car into the bay, took off the old clamps and cut off the coupler, put the new coupler on and he set me up with some t-bolts to keep her from leaking like it was with the gay ass worm clamps i had on there… charged me $10 total… HUGE help… turned around and drove home and tested her out… apparently there WAS a leak there even without the torn coupler because i had to dial back the boost controller 3-4psi as i was hitting boost cut now. now shes rock solid @ 22-23psi and wanted to step the ass end out when it spooled on the wet pavement. just wanted to say thanks again for the help from morgan/paul on gettin me set up and running right again. ---

Everytime I read about Travis in the car, he makes it seem like the clutch is perfect. But when he races, the clutch is shot beyond belief. ---

I’m including the quote I used in my post two months ago because none of it turned out to be true. > [@PokerRun518](#): > > the car will have a 3" catback, an intake, and a 50/50 BOV on it before next weekend. i will NOT be racing the car until i have the $ for a new clutch. you all seem quick to judge and assume im going to go right out and have one installed ASAP… the clutch and install on this is going to be upwards of $1K > [@GranMassaX](#): > > maybe I’m missing something, but why are you getting mods for your car (intake, exhaust, and bov) when you obviously NEED to replace a wear item, the clutch? Everything you listed isn’t needed for your car to run, whereas a clutch is. I’m sure your mods listed are going to cost you over 1k, so why not skip them for now and replace your clutch first? :confused…wtf is the point of adding performance mods if your existing setup can’t handle what you currently have? ---

That makes no sense to me at all. It’s Friday so maybe I am missing something. Does the STi use a MAF to measure incoming air? If so, during WOT operation, it should measure right there and apply fuel based on its internal fuel tables and assign an IDC accordingly or something similiar to that. I am not sure why it would take into consideration ANYTHING exhaust related… I tune my car based on fuel (injectors/fuel pressure/fuel supply/etc…). After changing from stock turbos to 15Gs to 16Gs and no other fuel changes occured, I made no changes at all. AFR stayed the same. The same reason why my AFR stays the same as I increase boost. I might make other changes such as timing when I increase the boost to be more safe but everything pretty much stays inline… The Maf handles shit like weather/baro/different amounts of air molecules based on the turbos compressor map/etc… [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/thanks-to-morgan-synapse/237493.md?page=2)
