very strange, never seen it before... oil return uses now a normal rubber hose.... previous owner obviously didnt put some money in a descent turbo...

Hi guys, i justo got a new turbo for my car, my old turbo gone it is a chinese one and i bought a garret one, however before a start to replace it i want make sure i have all parts in hands,.... the big issue this chineses turbo the oil feed line goes straight to turbo, and i need a flange to fit it in the garret. does anyone knw what flange i have to use ? follow attached picture of oil feed bellow the flange that i think should be used....http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/turbos/auction-695290626.htm Anyone kwn if this one is the right one ?? thanks a lot

im in blenheim...

HI guys, anyone know whre can i buy that nipple and bolt that goes on the top of the wastegate ?? what happen if i seal that hole ?

it\'s a knock off replica of a tial wastegate, still does the job. I\'d say it\'s running the correct spring. If cars been tuned to run at 20psi peak, a mbc set @ 15psi will do the job, but you will prob find will make the car run a bit poo rather than running as if the boost has just been turned down,.. its going over 20 psi, boost gauge goes till 20 psi, however when we r on full boost, it goes way more than 20, i would say 23 psi at least, so, if he buy a spring for 15 psi for tial wastegate should be fine ay ?

i would go with royal purple 10w40 hps , been doing some reseach and this one seems the best one in my opinion

wastegate is street spec branch , but i dont know whot to identify if is Tial or not. Anyone know how to identify if is tial or not ? the one hes got is exctaly this one http://www.listselltrade.co.nz/item_itemid_50197.html cheers Victor

got a friend who bought a sti v7 with external wastegate, however car didnt have boost gauge, today we put a boost gauge on it, and went for drive....car is boosting over 20 psi, so, we r thinking to put a MBC on it and set it up to 15 psi, however i would like to known if would work, or if we got change the wastegate spring first. Thanks Victor

Hi guys, i dont know if here is the right place to post it, but today me and my friend we went to supercheap to order 4 sparkplus for his sti v7 and i got a quote for 188 dolares, and it is not iridium ones, it is platinium.... thats ngk OEM. Why is so expensive ? is any other options that i could have ?

i´ve heard good things about it

in blenheim, car is going to be scanned tomorrow, when the orange light comes on is basically impossible drive it in low gears, we unplugged the afm and see how goes... at least car is driveble now...

we did it... and when we turn engine bk on the check engine light is not on anymore, and then we go for a drive and after first boost engine light comes on and no idle.... im pretty sure is afm too... we checked pod filter and sensor, is all good, hes going to buy the crc maf cleaner this week...hope helps

what about this one ??has anyone tried ? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=591176111

not sure abt the code...he hasnt put the car on the diagnosis thing yet

is apexi one i think is washable. About this spray, can i buy it from supercheap or ...??

how can we clean it ?

so... my friend just got a sti v7 with pod filter apex external wastegate and 3 exhaust from turbo, but now his car got check engine light on ( orange one ). He bought this car about 1 week ago..... also turbo kicks only with 3.5 thousands revs ( not sure if it is normal on v7 due my cg8 kicks b4 3thousands revs ) and when the check engine light comes on, the idle stays between 900 to 1400 revs ( going down and up ). i said to him to take his car to the garage and see whats wrong but seems that air flow meter gone...... we did reset the ecu but after 5, 10 minutes the engine light come on and no idle again.... has anyone been through this issue before ?

has anyone seen a WRX RA non sti ? i tried to find some information about it on google, but nothing came up.... the model is Subaru WRX RA Limited Colin McRae 555 Version 5 , and what the diference between this one and normal wrx v5 ??

year is 1998

i have here the follows number for: chassi : GF8-049063 ENgine: EJ20-418628 Vin :7A8GF090703469131 How do i know what version is this wrx ?? thanks

Hi guys, i have a friend who has wrx sti v6 ( ecutek ) and im just about to offer some money on his ecu, but i would like to know if is plug and play in my wrx 98 V5 or i have to rewire anything ? cheers

thats a huge diference, why ? only ecu ? os internals also is diferent ?

Does anyone know the difference between wrx sti v5/6 jdm and nz ? how many hp nz and jdm ? 0-100 ? etc..
