Yep, I can share how I did it
Goal: keep the MAF in place (for airflow), but move the IAT input to a true post-IC location so the ECU sees real charge temps.
What you need
Any 2-wire IAT sensor with a known calibration curve (I used a GM-style one: GM 96508200 / Lynxauto DM7801)

Hi everyone
New member here — happy to finally join Levorgclub.
I’ve built what’s basically the fastest Levorg on a stock FA20DIT longblock paired with the TR690 CVT.
I won’t duplicate all the technical details here — the full breakdown (heat management / IAT strategy / CVT cooling / tuning)...
One of the biggest problems with these cars isn’t even the hardware — it’s the mindset. A lot of old-school Subaru guys are stuck in EJ-era clichés. Instead of learning the new platform and fixing the real weak points (temps, IAT strategy, CVT cooling, proper ECU logic), it’s easier to just...
Thanks! CVT is still alive because I’m not trying to “brute force” it with heat and repeated abuse. Most of the work was actually about keeping temps under control: CVT cooler + engine oil cooler + heat exchanger, plus IAT sensor after the intercooler, IC sprayer and meth to keep intake temps...
Hey Levorg folks
Finally decided to put my full “what I did / what it changed / what it actually runs” into one post, because I’m tired of the classic Levorg cycle: first pull is great, second is meh, third feels like the car forgot it has a turbo.
Quick results (the only part everyone scrolls...
