Your car needed a trans cooler to begin with. It's the prerequisite first mod for every AT.

At 7+psi, I'm seeing a lot of movement on the exhaust that wasn't there at 5psi. It's not a factor during regular driving, freeway, even spirited take-off's from a stop light. It does come up when you are drifting it sideways on wide tyres at higher RPM's, or if you are doing a heavy launch.

Does it make engine mounts absolutely necessary at 7~8psi? Probably not, depending on your driving style. At 10~14psi? Yeah, I'd say they are necessary. However, they are both relatively cheap, and relatively easy to put in, so of all the modifications, this is one that I find easy to recommend.

I understand your kit uses the factory air pump location to drive an oil pump for the turbo. Are you having any leak issues with the pump there instead of the block-off plate?

No, it just needs to be well silicone sealed when being put together - much the same as the OEM plates.

So what clutch are engine mounts are you going to be recommending

Pure sex! Sounds so very good with that combo of parts. Any resonance in the cabin? Any drone?

Finally sounds like a Subaru.

Looks like it needs a bit of tuning on the transients.

What he means is that when you blip the throttle it seems the car stutters a little bit before reacting and raising RPM's.

Not trying to get AVO criticised.

Don't take it as harsh criticism, it is nothing dangerous or extremely out of place, it just needs minor tweaks.

It also says nothing bad about AVO.
