How about articles on older Subarus that subscribers have?” The sign of the times is boredom I find the magazine a bit boring. It needs to have more ads for performance parts, wheels, electronics for Subarus. Also articles about current Subaru owners and their cars. Too much on rallies and ‘O8 models. How about articles on older Subarus that subscribers have? Send out questionnaires and request photos. Earl Schroeder Via e-mail Ed: We cover all years of Subaru and even include cars owned by everyday owners and enthusiasts in every issue. We strive to bring you, our readers, the latest and greatest in the world of Subaru tuning. That means covering those shops that are on the cutting edge with the new 2008 WRX and STI. As far as rally goes, we are one of the only magazines that cover every round of the Rally America series and the WRC. Rally is what makes a Subaru a Subaru; we won’t stop covering rally. Thanks so much, Dave Wampler Via e-mail Ed: The TurboXS fuel and boost controller is a universal controller that will need to be wired in to your stock harness. It is not make-specific. As far as the oil feed for the turbo, we tapped into the oil pressure sender, which is on the front of the engine block right next to the power-steering pump. As far as the oil drain, we simply tapped a bung into the oil pan and ran a tube directly to it. It is a simple and elegant solution and you can find most of the taps and bungs at your local hardware store. How do you turbo an “L” again? I was wondering if you could give me more specifics on what controller you actually got from TurboXS? I looked and I couldn’t find anything for my 1993 Impreza wagon. Oh, and I didn’t really understand the part where you said that you tapped into the oil pressure sensor for the oil feed to the turbo. And a bung on the pan for the return. Could you elaborate on that a bit more? Rally lights are cool In your May issue on page 68, there is a white 2008 WRX 5-door with a great rally-type light package, and I wanted to see if you knew what company made this, where to buy, and maybe even the pricing on something like this is. Any information is greatly appreciated!! WE LOVE TO GET LETTERS! Send us your thoughts, pictures and ideas. Seth Hart Via e-mail Ed: There are several companies that make light bars for rally applications. Primitive Racing and Rocket Rally are just two places to start looking.
