  1. I've got some pics, will post soon. Turbo is disassembled. Manuals got a TD04HLA-19T (190kw vs 205KW for the manual)
  2. Just waiting on Kinugawa to confirm this turbo will suit the Auto. It states direct replacement for the VF38 which is the Auto turbo, however the Kinugawa TD04HLA-19T has the same designation as the turbo found in the Manuals.
  3. Had a closer look with a very bright torch and the filings are not in the intake manifold (its removed from the engine), most of the filings are before the turbo in the intake hose. I will clean everything that I can and will definitely do the oil and filter (turbo bearings look ok, the nut holding the front impeller had come loose).
  4. So I've checked the AVCS and turbo feed banjo filters and they are clean as a whistle
  5. Do you tune cars, or can you source them and upload with your Tactrix?
  6. On that note does this mean my engine is a write-off? It wasn't making any noises before I lost power, just massive plumes of thick smoke. Managed to drive the car the short distance home.
  7. Funny you should ask No big chunks or anything, but the intercooler and intake manifold is coated with oil and there seems to be some very fine filings in there too......
  8. Turbo housing is pretty naffed on both sides but I'll look into this, any recomendations to do the work?
  9. Hi Team, I've blown my turbo, shaft has snapped and there is not much left of the blades. Mods so far include Subtech DP, HKS 3" cat back, and a custom TMIC from Scottie (scottiescottiescottie?) with 133k on the clock. So I'm on the lookout for a new turbo and need some advice. Option 1: Subaru want $3635 + GST for just the VF38, no labour/install etc Option 2: http://drivenperformance.co.nz/products-page/kinugawa/kinugawa-japan-td04hla-19t-gtx-legacy-bp5-bl5-twin-scroll-turbo/ This turbo is supposed to be a direct replacement abit slightly larger. Al is checking with Kinugawa to confirm it will work on the 5EAT. $1450inc. Option 3: http://www.subaruspeed.co.nz/products/turbo-charger-new-vf38-bp-legacy It's a copy, comes with a limited warranty, and its roughly $850inc. I'm open to all ideas and advice. What are the chances of this happening again, and what else do I need to undertake to make sure no more damage is done? I'm also looking for an E-tune once the turbo is on, looking at getting one from the States but would rather support a local who can do a good job. Thanks in advance, JP
  10. I wonder whats going to happen to all the imports NZ brings in that should/need to run on 100 and then get run on 95?
  11. UPDATE: Checked CEL and came up with P0031 and P0037 (Thanks Scottiescottiescottie). Since I have replaced the 02 sensor we cleared P0031 code, but still left with P0037 Upon further inspection I have also blown the SBF-5 fuse which will throw the above codes. I\'ll replace the fuse in the morning and see if this clears the codes.
  12. Yes, I still have the whole exhaust.
  13. Guess i\'ll be get my tune for 95 then....
  14. Should\'ve mentioned this was at BP on Riccarton Road (Church corner end)
  15. I went to fill up at my local BP, and they are no longer selling 98! Is there anywhere else in CHCH that this has happened? I thought people might want to know.
