well one ive never had issues with Agency Power they do make good products. But it does seem lately with the economy companies are going to china to outsource and make more money. I did change the turbo kit to a stock location so its not agency power lol. Simple questions JDM69 have you put Agency Power parts on your car?? Im curious because 99% of people who compalin about parts never have tried them or used the parts. Im not saying AP is a great brand but its much better than ebay parts.

I agree with you on that! people complain about products from companies and even eBay stuff like the ssac FMIC which I had installed on my car and the fit was almost perfect the only thing that was out was the BOV connection which was meant to use a hose to connect the stock BPV, all we had to do is weld on the one supplied with my BOV no big deal. There is a guy on the Toronto Subaru forums that bought all eBay stuff just to test it out on this Fozy and again it was a 90% fit but it all worked and he has a good amount of KM's on the parts now with no failure. Even big name companies have fitment issues on some products that's why its called modding.

Hey did you ever find out about the standalone or if you are going to stay stock ecu?

STi_05 · « **Reply #52 on:** February 02, 2012, 07:59:11 AM »

im going to go standalone comes down to drivability and the resolution on the maf he explained to me pretty good. Ill go this route and ill enjoy the car either way. Cant wait for the snow to go!!!

Every Part ive dealt with which is a lot ive always have minor fitting issues thats just aftermarket parts its part of the game some fit some dont.

This is somewhat relevant; Cobb has finally released speed density for the Accessport.

No, and I never will.

Why? ...

Quote from: 600rr on February 01, 2012, 03:32:04 PM

I have seen many agency power products

... Because I've handled more AP parts than you will in your entire lifetime. Not just "seen" them. It's funny to me that you think GARRETT, TIAL, or K&N have anything to do with Agency Power. You're 100% wrong. Anyone can put parts together and call them a "kit".
I never intended on de-railing your build thread, but there seems to be more interest in my comments than the car in question. Guess I'm just a popular guy!

haha Anyone can send me a PM but I'll leave this one alone now.

600rr · « **Reply #55 on:** February 02, 2012, 01:53:08 PM »

No, there is interest in your post because it is obsurd. The AP kit contains those name brand parts and they put their name behind it being in an AP kit. Therefore the quality would be at par with any other "name brand" turbo kit setup. I am part of a formula drift race team, and have seen many AP product/handled AP products so I am not too worried you have handled more then me. But i have seen a couple race cars with AP parts and thats why I said their quality and prices are good.
Your argument is flawed since you have never used their products and you just itchbay and complain about them without any qualitative information backing your hatred towards the brand.
I will end there and not argue about this anymore with you as your posts are stupid simply put.

After some discussion we choice what i wanted for Whiteline goodies. Its updated in orginal post. Couple more weeks until the car is finalized

STi_05 · « **Reply #60 on:** July 17, 2012, 09:31:29 AM »

Well finally the car is finished and it took a lot of patience.

Final Numbers are 410whp and 366 wtq. Now the car runs great pulls good but i feel like it should have more than 410 whp. Anyone else have opinions on that?

lol i do! Ill drive it and enjoy it for the rest of the summer but i think my next option is someone in the states trailer it down and get a even better tune done by one of the big shops. Its still fast and fun and does run good.

That's possibly the most kind way I've heard someone describe 5000rpm of turbo lag.

LilDrunkenSmurf · « **Reply #65 on:** July 17, 2012, 02:31:49 PM »

Do you have a boost chart? I'd like to see how the turbo spools in relation to rpm.

DeleriousZ · « **Reply #66 on:** July 17, 2012, 02:54:31 PM »

Is your GTX twin scroll or single scroll? Have you ever considered running a quick spool valve to help the lag?

funk32 · « **Reply #67 on:** July 17, 2012, 03:14:55 PM »

What is a quick spool valve? And his setup is single scroll, its a stock location GTX35r as far as I know no one makes a stock location twin scroll housing for this turbo.

This its a single scroll. I dont have a boost chart ill get one. I really think that turbo should be spooling much faster for stock location and the new GTX wheel. peak boost is 22psi. I had a glance at the chart but cant remember now where it peaks at the RPM.

That quick spool valve has been talked about on nasioc and its not worth the time or money... Either go twin scroll or don't.. As for the peak boost why is it set so low? The GTX35 comes to life around 26psi and you should be getting numbers like 470hp/430tq or alittle more.
