This is probably one of the easier AOS installs I have done before. This should walk you through how to install this unit. Essentially what an AOS does is remove oil and oil vapor from entering the Intake track of the Car. This will help keep octane levels higher as oil will reduce octane rating when mixed. as well it will just keep oil out of the places that it shouldn't be anyway.

"5 Things You Need to Know Before Buying a Subaru WRX or STI --5 things you need to know before buying a Subaru WRX or STI The Obvious things: -Subaru's have a Boxer Engine -They're all primarily AWD with the exception of the BRZ and older 80s and early 90s models. Misconceptions: - Subaru's are the most unreliable car out there. EHhhhhhhhh Yes and No. In stock form the cars will give you very few issues. However the issues stem from improper modification and lack of care/knowledge. Head gaskets - Modern Subaru's rarely have H/G issues. The H/G issue stemmed from Early Model N/A 2.5L Engines"

"Saving a WRX STI hatchback From a JDM Junkyard Engine. We've got another STI that's in the shop for a new engine; this one had an EJ20X swapped into it a few years ago without the owner's knowledge. He had thought that he was getting another 2.5L swapped in but lo and behold BOOM EJ20X instead. If you're not familiar with the 20X it is essentially a JDM Junkyard EJ that came in a TON of cars. You can get them cheaply and they work well for getting a car to run again. But I never suggest using them if you are wanting performance out of your car. Shop Subaru Parts -"

"Equal Length (ELH) Vs Unequal Length (UEL) Header Guide From the Dawn of time Subaru WRX and STI have been born with Unequal length headers. They give us the iconic Subaru rumble that we all know and love. But what exactly are the differences and is one better than the other well let's break it down and cover both manifolds for this chassis. Personally I will always recommend Equal Length Headers for anyone as there are more benefits to this manifold design than Unequal length. But sometimes we just do not want to give up the sound.

"The Perfect Size Wheel + Tire Combo for a Toyota Tacoma We are giving my [----] Toyota Tacoma a little bit of love and fitting some 275/70 tires on this thing. When it came to picking out a tire size I did not want to compromise too much of the Truck's characteristics. That meant No rubbing no having to cut the body or frame no smashing in fender wells etc. This way I can still use the truck day to day as my daily without worry and still take it on some trails to have some fun. Fitment is spot on as well with width and poke. The Gram lights in the 17x8.5 +0 fit literally perfectly Wheels: Rays"

"Wiring in the Subaru 22B Clone; No Merge Harness Needed. Time to start playing with some good ole wiring again. Originally I was going to send out all of the wiring in the 2.5RS down to iwire for a proper harness merge. However; we are using a Haltech R3 in the 22B Clone so in theory there is no reason we would need to do a merge harness. If you are doing this swap and using a WRX STI ECU then you WILL need to send your harness out for a merge or do the merge yourself. Because the R3 will control the fuel pumps Engine and accessories doing a merge would be a little redundant for us. Shop"

After this happened we noticed lower than average oil pressure and No Boost until [----] RPM. Keep in mind that this car only has [----] miles. The only thing I can actually think of that may be causing this issue is a bad turbo. But a bad turbo already makes no sense The car is not making any more Boost than it was from the factory.
