Wanted to see if it improved cooling on track, and it did. Significantly.

Recently started to hear my ACT throwout bearing squeal at idle and in gear.

So I replaced my ACT throwout bearing last weekend with a new OEM unit for the 2017 models, which is stated in the Subaru TSB as having grease that's more resistant to heat while maintaining proper lubrication. I purchased the part from Toyota (SU003-07349) since it's less than half of what Subaru charges for the exact same part.

So far I've put a couple hundred miles on it and it's very smooth and silent as a TOB should be. Hopefully it lasts. Also put in fresh Nanodrive engine and gear oil at 22k miles when I changed the TOB.

Also very excited to have done a full professional shoot and interview with S3 Magazine all over Atlanta recently.



We got tons of rollers and static shots with epic backdrops that I'll hopefully be able to share both in the magazine and here.
I've posted a few more on my instagram, too, but they were taken with my phone as they were shooting with their nice cameras.

The editor told me the feature should be out in the November or December 2017 issue

Nice! Let me know how that turbo setup works. I'm thinking about going turbo next year and have my eyes on JDL. Enjoy!

Haha well I have an assortment of turbo related questions since I'll be new to the turbo scene next year, but for starters, how is the reliability of the kit? and does it pull through the whole rev range?
