Pappu1

highly not recomended they missed a few other things like the suspension bolt was loose (holding on by 4 threads only) i had stock suspension put in as didnt want un-certed adjustables dont think they put the car on the hoist/jack even...

thanks for the updates. I paid for the PPI and had called and asked them over the phone specifically about leaks and was told all visible leaks will be reported. The Power steering is very obvious in a Subaru ej207.. They are now saying because it was booked in by the seller (it was in the sellers possession so obviously they had to book it in) , they cant do anything. I had the seller write to them that the PPI was done for me but they are using that as grounds not to answer any questions. @SpeedySub - car was a private sale and PPI organised through the company the report was more like a wof sheet that noted tires and paint bits on the bumper no mention of any oil leaks I had the car delivered via a transporter straight to another subaru shop when it arrived in auckland and they immediately pointed these things oit - and its part of the wof e.g. broken headlight mounting. @Gripless - was a wof sheet and an email with some minor bits they mailed . looked like really good hence the price i paid. the PS pump and headlights are not a huge deal in the scheme of things BUT an added cost that could have been negotiated in the sale price and not having to fix it now Im not happy with the PPI (the car itself is fine)

I need help and advice on a PPI gone wrong Recently bought a car and had a PPI done from : Euromarque 15 Walker Street, Christchurch, New Zealand I called and had asked specifically about what all they did and after getting the car delivered to a workshop in Auckland, we found some important things they had missed. The headlight mounting is broken and the power steering pump is leaking (old leak as can see the oil is there for a while) these are all visual things when you open a subaru 2007 sti bonnet (being as the power steering is right on top) They missed it and now when i asked about it (as the price i paid was based on that issue not being there) they are saying its not their responsibility to have noted it in the PPI. what can i do in this case because i feel ripped off being as its a purely visual thing to pick up on a PPI ..

been looking at stock location turbos but they all seem to be not for a proper 300kw.. thkinking of making a jig for a twisted TS setup..so we all can have some evo killing machines

If the cost were approximately the same , what setup would you guys be opting for; (setup includes- turbo,matching 3 inch downpipe , uppipe mods, oil/water fitting, intake setup etc.. ) 1) stock location 260-280kw turbo setup 2) twisted 260-350kw setup

@mlracing.co.nz any updates on this?

yea man the subtech downpipe will do fine actually i can help with the tuning side when you get to that also @Subirex Automotive can do all the mechanical bits and pieces if you need a hand

we tuned the same turbo on a factory top mount runinng 260kw and just a little bit less boost(didnt push more power as after 3rd run it was showing heat soak) will do a fmic next and then hoping to do 270-280kw on the same boost due to better cooling (this car gives me hope )

depends on the turbo - we had a rotated greddy td06 (@304kw) and that was punchy on the low end as well (very similar to the vf30 with a touch more lag maybe like 300rpm) but in higher rpm was almost the same feel the chinese td05 do have noticeably more lag but for the cost they cant be considered bad...

car feels very punchy actually when gets on boost.. there is some lag due to bigger turbo but not bad at all.. for the big power stuff - people throw so many mods when sometimes its the simple upgrades that yield the best results.... best to plan for a punchy 240-250kw street v7sti - is fairly cheap actually.. was tuned by me on the Autech hub dyno

exhaust turbo upgrade bigger injectors and pump then tuned it up all on the stock ecu has launch control and antilag for the owner as well for some some show off fun this was on the stock top mount (we will get a front mount and push it a bit more actually)

@Saleti what area u in? if in auckland or can travel here, we just did a 260kw on a v7 with very minimal mods and still on 98 pump gas...

you make a solid argument!!!! back to the damm subaru design

sitting the turbo on a spacer should allow a bigger comp .. good plan but yep agreed on the under manifold pipe fitment.. unless that was also raised with some phonelic spacers lol.. where does this stop....

we have used a redline headers to 300kw get the 3 bolt version for the up pipe are u looking at stock mount or going twisted?
