Not sure how but people in his thread on Nasioc are pissed that someone posted that link. Saying that Ben (xluben) would have posted it if he wanted us to know. Ben should have locked/closed the thread if he didn't want people to know. Come on let other Subaru people know what happened. I'm sure the insurance company doesn't know how heavily modded it was. Was it something he did? A shop did? :confused: :mad:

Just came across this, is this you getxerxdone ??

Ask people like me and Jeff before you go and anger uncle scotty on NASIOC.

You can fill 5qts no problem in the WRX and 0W30 - 0W40 is fine to run, and I do guarantee that your intercooler to throttle body hose is busted, it always happens and any more than stock boost levels.

Im late but yes that's me. It was 6 qts of 0w 20. Is the an aftermarket intercooler to TB hose somewhere?

0W20 is bad for Subaru engines, they like thicker stuff like 5W40 or 0W40 that I would run.

AVO and Gimmick motorsports sell the silicone TB hose, you can also pull the rubber ends off the OEM one, use T-bolts and hairspray to fasten the OE one back on.

We're developing a 'good' one (as in it actually fits like OEM) at Mishimoto, but it won't be ready for another few months :sad:

We only have radiator hoses, our intercooler hose won't be ready for a few months.
