I will try that before trying a 3 ohm resistor.
You should do a little write up on the fuel pump kill switch. Sounds like something I would like go have.

Ha, have alot of things I could do a write-up on for this 2.5i MY08-10 platform vehicle already. Once i'm settled in and not running around doing all these things, just might.

I think I just like the idea of more switches, to have your own start up procedure, because racecar

I am waiting for the weather to get a little better before I spray mine. Did you use any primer & clear coat or anything? Also, did you use factory paint or just a similar color?

I used Rustoleums "Metallic paint and primer primer in one". I used their Titanium Silver color. Before anything I wet sanded the entire thing since the quality wasn't perfect. It has some flakes in it which surprisingly matches very well to SSM. All I can say is take your time and do at least 3-4 coats. I rushed and ended up having to wet sand the new layer of paint
I noticed you have SSM too. You can pick up the same can at a local Home Depot or order it online lol.

That reminds me, anyone do a oil pressure/ temp gauge. I'm thinking it would look good in the smy dual gauge hood

Yes. I had the exact same problem you are having. I was in a rush to get it all back in and plugged in the battery before the driver seat.

You maxed out on your Fortune500's? Im already maxed on my Extreme Lows and the rear sits too high for my liking. Thought it could go lower but i guess its for the WRX kits that were taken into consideration. How high are you from ground to the top of the fender? Need to take some measurements tomorrow cuz its a little late.

Any of you guys run Magnaflow Catback on your 2.5i's or know anyone who does?

Specifically this sytem... http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...ne=all&id=9771

It states that it mates up directly to the 08 Impreza WRX Sedan OEM cat, do any of you guys know if the OEM Cat on the WRX Sedan is the same as the OEM cat on a 2.5I sedan?

Only reason I ask is because the Tsudo Performance Catback a few of you run is stated to be ONLY for the WRX sedan model but you guys run it on your 2.5I sedans.

http://www.speed-element.com/servlet...muffler/Detail

Thanks guys!

I recommend you start from the beginning of this thread and read everything. Almost all of your questions have been covered numerous times.

But to answer your question, yes. Any 08-10 wrx exhaust will fit your car.

Apologize to all you guys who know this car inside / out. I've been trying to get through all 358 pages, slowly.

What sender did you guys use? I hope not a sandwich type, herd bad things. And where did put it. I know of two location on the block other than the filter. I take it you both used a digital feed?

And the interior portion of the install looks like bitch from that pic.

I had a whole package picked out, but everything has to wait. I don't mod in the winter. Too cold.

Jordan what's the make on those gauges, are they passport as well, they match perfectly.

I used the stock sender. The premium prosport give you a smaller sender that fits in the gallery plug area. I used the gallery plug, and Jourdan used a sandwich plate.

Yep mines electronic, there's nothing wrong with a sandwich plate, but if your gonna be running pressures and temp, might as well use the plate. You just need too make sure the plate is sealed correctly.

I actually didn't do what Jourdan did for the install of the power supply for the gauges; just hooked them up to the fuse box. And the prosport has a daisy chain so i can just hook up the power from my oil pressure gauge

I figured pressure and temp because most electronic galley senders have two hookups anyway.

I didn't know about being able to use the stock sender. I though it was just a yes/no sender because we do not have a stock gauge?

Jordan, how do you do a coolant temp? I already used one plug for my block heater, hope there's more than one.
