no delays that I have heard of. I will see trey tonight at dinner and see if I can get some numbers from him

I suspect the numbers will be released on Monday.

However, no matter what the gains, I'm sure it will be the most substantial gain offered by any product out there so far... especially for the price!

Cool- I trust that COBB will do a good job as usual.

Will the ECU upgrade help eliminate the noticeable turbo lag? That was my only dissappointment with the '05 Legacy GT.

jedi_master · 12-10-2004, 08:56 AM

You can reduce turbo lag by replacing the uppipe with an uncatted one. That being said, I haven't replaced the uppipe and I don't notice ANY turbo lag on mine.

02 forester do you have an auto by chance? Jedi_master is right, you will prob notice quite a difference replacing your uppipe with an uncatted STi or aftermarket one. I know the new 5 speed auto's are supposed to be nicer but when i drove a 4eat wrx, it literally went no where until the turbo kicked in.

Just for comparison's sake, try out an auto LGT or OB XT- you'll be pleasantly surprised at how well it works.

KevinHeist · 12-10-2004, 01:05 PM

lag in a new LGT? In the manual, I really dont experience any.... in the auto... well it's an auto and takes a while to get 1st moving.

At anyrate, the AccessPort has done wonders for the other three cars that it's available for (WRX, FXT, STi) and I'm sure it will do the same for the LGT... simply make the car blazin' quick

I test drove the Baja T, FXT and Legacy GT Limited, all 5spd manuals back to back last Friday night and the Legacy was noticeably more flat below 3k but came on strong after 3k.

My current daily driver is our Volvo XC90, which has a low pressure turbo mated to an automatic and has virtually no lag, unlike the high pressure turbo that was in my V70R, which did have a slight lag.

I'm not slamming the Legacy, just curious if there was a way to improve its spirit below 3k. I have narrowed my search to the Legacy GT, FXT or a Volvo S40 T5 AWD 6spd.

02_Forester · 12-11-2004, 02:11 PM

I test drove another one today -- much better than the other one I drove 2 weeks ago -- the lag was still there but only really noticeable if you were in a higher gear at about 2k rpm and hitting the gas without downshifting. On boost it pulls like a rocket, very nice.

I am now negotiating price on one.
