Gimmick Motorsports EWG Up-Pipe

TimeAtk · 12-22-2008, 06:18 PM

Hey guys couple weeks ago I got my ewg uppipe in that i was eagerly waiting for.

Josh at Importimage gave me a great price on them and shipping was lightning fast.

Here are the pics of the uppipe and EWG that I received.

The welds were perfect and fitment was awesome. The flanges looked solid and fitting the pipe was cake.

I highly recommend anyone out there that is looking to get more out of their stock turbos or even bigger setups.. Ive heard a lot about EWG uppipes leaking and such due to flange design or even gaskets, but this one hasn't given me any problems so far.

Not too many people run EWG setups on their stock turbo but after seeing the results of the people that do, I must say that the EWg does help with smoothing out the powerband help out with some of that drop off in power in the higher RPMs.

Here is a sound clip of my EWG

Also highly recommend the GMS Turbo inlet hose and the aftermaf hose... it literally took me only 20 mins to install everything, the hardest part was taking off the stock one

yeah i cant believe how stealth that engine bay is. i'd never think there is over 400ft.lbs on tap by just popping the hood

mrmike · 12-24-2008, 06:36 PM

Very nice, congrats on the numbers. Two questions though, how much boost are you running and what kind of dyno was this on?

TimeAtk · 12-24-2008, 09:28 PM

Its on a Dynomite, as you can see stock 08 STi puts around 220whp, and Im running 17lbs of boost

4subbySti · 12-25-2008, 12:57 PM

is it possible to run a EWG on a stock turbo?? what is the benefit of running a EWG rather then the stock IWG??
sorry for the noob question im new to subarus.

Is your cutout open in that clip too? It's got a real deep growl to it versus how most 38mm Tials sound.

FleaDog · 12-26-2008, 08:15 PM
