The fluttering you speak of isn't wastegate chatter, it's air being forced back through the compressor wheel whwnever the throttle is lifted. If you want good "flutter", fit a front mount IC & remove the BOV (plug up the holes as well!!).
Wastegate chatter is different again, normally heard as a ...

hey DOA, I notice you're from UK....this would mean you have an intercooled 2.0 yeah? the US car is a non-intercooled 2.2.........the Audi boost control system mentioned in the Autospeed article has been very successfully used on a Legacy/Liberty RS so you should have no problems.....just remember ...

It's not a Lancer wing, looks more like an aftermarket cheapie that's readily available for the "boy racer" fraternity here in New Zealand......

The Legacy that owns it is a "GT 4WD" (according to the badge), which means EJ20G, VF-10 turbo & 4EAT trans......The RS sedan has the same EJ20G but a ...

Could also be a VF8, like my JDM Legacy....from what I understand the VF8 is bigger than a VF10 but smaller than a VF12....

Are you sure you're not referring to the AC condenser?? My Legacy RS has the radiator closest to the motor then immediately in front is the AC condenser (which is near as the same size) and in front of THAT the intercooler radiator......which is quite a bit smaller than the radiator and AC condenser ...

You mean the poly rack bushes?? yeah I fitted some a few months ago, made a definite difference but fairly subtle....best described as "crisped" up the steering wheel response....

UPDATE - fixed.....finally pulled finger & removed the intercooler (what a bitch of a job!), sussed out that the slave cylinder was dodgy....replaced with new & all is good!!!
Still have a slight shudder when cold but apart from that, smooth shifting....

I haven't got the specific dimensions but have a scanned page from the FSM that shows it's relative size to the case. If it's any good, PM your email to me & I'll send it to you....

Cheers

The "555" on WRC Legacy's & Impreza's is Cigarette brand sponsorship....

Don't think it would do anything worthwhile.....what you REALLY want is adjustable compression run the motor at (say) 10:1 before boost builds & as boost climbs it drops back to 8:1......

yeah but they weren't 4-barrel jobbies....personally I think it would be a huge step backwards & a total waste of time, effort & money.....but hey, it's your dime...

OK, how do I post images directly from my hard drive??

still doing images...

1991 JDM Legacy RS, intake mods, standard exhaust, standard boost.....my speedo reads to 240km/h (150mph), she'll get to 220km/h (138mph) without ANY fuss & remarkably quicky.....from there she hits the areodynamic wall and the next 15km/h come a little slower - my record is 235km/h (147mph) & she ...

Turned 36 2 weeks ago......got me a '91 Legacy RS (JDM spec), stock AWIC model, 220HP......minimal mods: intake & suspension bracing & bushes. Had it for 4 years & love it!! but still pondering where to go next.....keep it & modify into a WRX killer (easy & so-so$$$) or sell it & go EVO (yummy but ...

If anyone's interested, I've got the FSM intercooler pages scanned & available for viewing.....they're 1.5MB bmp's at present so I'll convert them if anyone wants me to post.......it'll show you EVERYTHING you need to know about the Legacy/Liberty factory AWIC.....

so how much power can the liberty awic flow?
thanks, Teague

They're reportedly good for up to 215KW (say 290HP) at the fly....

anyone resolve this? i have the same problem after replacing my clutch (didn't do it before!) although it's accompanied by a (sometimes) sticking pedal......I reckon the rattling & sticking are the clutch fork & hopefully it only needs lubricating......
Any thoughts before I start tearing the water ...

OK, here's what I found but how it relates to the USDM Legacy's I don't know.....

For the BC5 Legacy/Liberty RS (EJ20T) AWD sedan & wagon vs "standard" non-turbo Legacy: springs are 18% stiffer at front & 3% softer at rear, front dampers are 190% up on bump & 45% up on rebound, rear dampers are up ...
