4:26 if you just want the pertinent info.
thank you! you win the internet award. straight to the point and throw out the fluff.
Thank you!!!
Thank you. Nothing pisses me off more than videos that don't cut to the chase right away and don't at least warn you. My time is valuable too.
Visiting that shop had to be mouth watering experience. lol Glad Suzie is finally back on the road. Looks like she's now supplying you with some seat-of-the-pants performance that you didn't have. Enjoy.
Thanks Peter, the shop definitely had some sweet cars! so glad Suzie is not running well and fully boosting :D
fixing that wheel bearing and exhaust on immediately after haha, then Wicked Big Meet is right around the corner, the largest subaru enthusiast event. How have things been with you, corvettes out and about?
Taking mine to the shop tomorrow morning for this exact issue; first thing I’m doing is showing them this video. Thanks for posting this!
Hope that's the issue and you can quickly get it resolved, let me know if that was it or it was something else, Thanks for Watching!
FANTASTIC stuff! Going off what you said I'm the opposite.. I've never had a Non boosted vehicle not including my first car
thanks man!! and that's awesome! haha z06 is first supercharged vehicle owned, LGT is my first turbo charged vehicle, two different beasts, love them!!
Bought my 06 lgt for $300 complete, beautiful body with a rod hanging out of the block. No idea what so ever what I was doing but I brought it back with a $40 ej205 block and $120 JDM ej205 heads. Since then I've had the engine in and out about 4 times but I'm learning slow and hard 😆😎👍 but it runs, (like shit sometimes and other times Grrrrrreat. Also diy open source tuning with a $13 cable and a laptop from 1998 it's a shit-show. Lmao 🤣
what do you use for open source tuning software wise?
@@sokhannhem51 now I use the tactix open port 2.0, for the 05 and 06 Subaru turbos you can also use a $15 Amazon k-line blue vag com cable I wish I had a link for the exact one I'd send it to you just look at the reviews and you'll see people saying what it works on if you do go that route. Tactrix is the best with free ROM raider and ECU flash download
I was having a very similar issue in my 08 LGT. Figured it was tune, or simply the fact that I'm running 20 lbs of boost into the stock intercooler. Only happens on the first pull after startup, so not a big deal. I suppose I should check the same stuff on my car.
definitely! Thanks for stopping by, be sure to subscribe for more content!
This was helpfull having the same issue with my Spec B. And you are local to me.
Haha, I was going to mention the wheel bearing, I wasn't sure if I was hearing things
haha yes I got the fronts done and the rears are in desperate need, thanks for stopping by! be sure to subscribe for more content!

Is the car still worth buying ?
I have a 2009 legacy GT and I'm having issues with the car loosing boost while in second gear, its like it kick on the off then on again. Any ideas what could be the problem?
Having the same problem except in 3rd gear, it jumps up and down at 5krpm even if I hold the petal down. Did you ever find the problem?
Same. This happens to me mostly in 5th and 6th gear when pushing hard on the accelerator. What could it be????
What was your mileage when the boost leak started to occur. Thinking of buying one of these, and wondering how reliable they are. And I've never owned a turbo before.
I'm not quite sure exactly what mileage the boost leak occurred. the car never boosted 100% since I've had it, so could have been before that. these are are pretty fun and could be a blast to mod, however they can definitely be a money pit and problems. it's hard to find a LGT (especially manual) that hasn't been beaten on, have turbo issues, oil problems, head gaskets and such. have to be careful and aware before making a purchase on a high mileage (100k or more) turbo subaru. where are you from? Add me on instagram @StaggeredHorizons
Staggered Horizons I'm from Indiana. Found an 08 LGT with less than 50k miles. Not a modder or speed demon, I just need a nice reliable car and this one caught my eye. Thanks for the quick reply.
no problem. may I ask how much the 08 with 50K is? not many of these with 50K or less miles
Staggered Horizons Private party, $11900. It looks really clean, but haven't seen it in person yet. A little hesitant about buying an older turbo model, even with low miles.
If you definitely want a turbo subaru I would purchase an Accessport beforehand and plug it into the car during test drive to make sure things are where they need to be, Air to Fuel, Boost Range, etc. checking for any oil leaks, etc.
How much did this visit to the shop set you back?
not much, a little over an hour and a new MAF sensor which was expensive, have to buy OEM fo this specific piece, aftermarket MAF sensors don't really work is what I'm told from different people
Couldnt find the fix in the mix of all the boring stuff
Throttle body coupler was folding in on itself and the bypass valve was blown off
Thanks for Watching!
It's like a mix of fix w\ tricks
100000000000000%%%%%%%%% easy fix thankfully wooooo
Yessss, could have been much worse, I'll take that $280 MAF sensor any day rather than a new turbo or something else.
Thanks for Watching man! can't wait to see your LGT on coils :D
Just like a lot of videos on RUclips lately, this one is playing for 0.05 sec then buffering and never loading
So wat was the issue?
