    Wow I'm impressed. I looked into it (we're dealer for MCA in Aus) and it was waaaaaaay cheaper to buy direct it just didn't make any sense for us to get involved.

    I think RSS have been involved previously with the MCA gold series range as the owner races off road.

  2. I’m sure your Td04 can be rebuilt and modded but not sure about the Vf38,44 and 45.@Andy_Mac the Td04 ‘maybe’ has the larger compressor wheel.Was told by my tuner that the Vf45 flows the best top end.@Mikk Wreckers price on a used Vf45 approx $650.Check out Kinugawa Legacy twin scroll turbos for new aftermarket.

  3. I had a car that had same problem.Didn’t replace the spigot bearing in the crankshaft after engine came back from a rebuild.You can also damage the bearing if the clutch plate isn’t aligned properly when installing the gearbox.It’s a cheap part which is generally overlooked.

  4. Front side cam cover below oil dip stick.4 x 10mm bolts.I have a mini Teng tools socket set 5.5 to 13mm sockets,various screw heads,extension and ratchet.All packaged in the size of a cigarette pack.Cost around $65.

  5. Listen for any nasty rattles or noise coming from cam covers and remove passenger side cover and check cam belt for wear and cracks.Purchased my bl in Nelson and drove back to Auckland with barely legal S*** tyres.Wellington to Auckland was in pouring rain and darkness.Bent a rim driving through Hamilton.

  6. My old Bh tt didn’t have a vacuum leak,but because the vacuum reservoir hoses were pinched the reservoir couldn’t reach full vacuum,causing intermittent sync problems between the twin turbos.No check engine lights.Was suggested by a good Subaru mechanic to check vacuum hoses,especially the plastic pipe/hose that runs from the reservoir around the front of the radiator to the solenoid box.Maybe a small vacuum leak causing the reservoir to loose vacuum overnight.As soon as car started,vacuum replaced.These cars are getting old and require a lot of maintenance because of the complexity of the tt engine.Cheap to buy,expensive or time consuming to maintain.

    My old Bh tt will make full boost from cold.I’m always telling my son to warm the car up first.

  7. Possibly a vacuum leak that stops the vacuum reservoir in the passenger front guard holding vacuum which controls the tt solenoid box which controls the turbos.Had this problem after a engine rebuild where the tards had trapped/pinched the vacuum hoses to the vacuum reservoir under the battery.

  8. Thank’s @pedro and @Bobby.Working on a budget at the moment.I was looking at pulling Legacy engine but will have to stay in car for now.I’m concentrating on oil surge and cooling first.RCM baffled sump,pick up and SAS baffle plate on it’s way.Looking at oil coolers now.RCM will probably be my first choice.Got to keep some funds available as I’m waiting for Michelin to have a sale.

    Also this sooo needs a Vanity Plate! "CLBSUB"?? or is that too daft (open to suggestions) or go the whole hog & just have a CLUBSUB made to look legit for 'display purposes only'

     

    SOZ no rear wheel carriers available at time of posting as this can needs one welded back on (previous owners have gassed it off :/)

    Forget the spare wheel,weld on a big rear wing and don’t forget the baked bean can muffler tip.

  10. I tried this with a single turbo conversion into a 94 Legacy Rs tt early 2000.Car ran fine,but once boost exceeded primary turbo tt boost ecu switched to limp mode.Might be different with your the later model tt ecu,but still requires a lot of work to the solenoid box.Eventually wired in a aftermarket ecu,removed the solenoid box and was able to make changes to ignition timing and fuelling.

  11. Doesn’t mean they own it.Unfortunatly when you purchase privately,if you have any concerns regarding the sale list it in the receipt of sale and make sure it is dated and signed by the seller.In court it will be your word against there’s.
