Theyre a wear item. The bar twists/moves on those bushes. A lack of grease accelerates wear.

If the cars jacked up it could just be that that area sits under the Bush and was lacking in grease hence the rust.

Preventative maintenance is the best kind of maintenance...

Cabletie everything. Surprised the engine is still functional.

Pm you. Cleaning it is pointless if you don't actually fix the issue.

He's Rick Wheeler on fb. Probably on here in stealth mode.

Could be oil in the loom. That's a silly idea. The bl/bp have a different flange to the v8- sti and only fit smaller turbos than what you currently have. You want the v8- sti header and downpipe.

Ratshit @Kiwi_Fozze good luck dude.

I had a ching gate on my wrx at one point which I swapped out for a turbosmart one which was meant to have a 1 bar spring...it was 5 psi. 5psi with a td04 meant lots of noise and a slow arse car.

I would be inclined to think the oil you were charged for was not the oil used in the box. Be it a mistake or something who knows. Or it has an lsd diff requiring lsd oil.

Ring Gerald at Strong for Subaru and ask if they have a 3" Bellmouth do to suit whatever flange you have. Dont faff about on anything else there is no point at this stage.

They are really loud. What's the cat back you currently have?

Cert, gate and fab prob 1k or so. Just make fart noises with your mouth for the entertainment value. Your car will go just as fast and only you will know you sound like an idiot. 😜

Whatever you do with a ewg now will get done again if you upgrade turbo. It's unnecessary and illegal unless plumbed in and certed. If its plumbed in properly so it flows nicely you wont hear the difference between iwg and ewg.

There is literally no point in adding an ewg on a vf. I had 227wkw @ 22psi on 95 with a vf22 and full boost around 3.5k. 3 port with link and internal. Get a 3 port and 3" turbo back and tune it. Tell them to stuff whatever boost they can get into it before it falls over. Engine will take it providing its in good health.

Put up a post on Subaru parts on fb. Get whatever you want to buy checked by a specialist before paying money.

Get a v4 sti and facelift the front. Heaps better and cheaper than getting a v5 non sti and trying to make it sti.

Price?

Looks awesome @ADIKT

Dtech in tauraunga. Generally an overnight service and clean is just under $100.

@Subru

20g/td05 Kinugawa unit. The turbine will be choking even with the 8cm.

@Scoobydoo does
