These turbos dont like being pushed apparently. If i was you id go for option 2, upgraded unit that will give more tuning ability and be a direct swap. Plus gives you the peace of mind that its going to last. Just my 2c.
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.

Those fine filings will be through everything, not a right off at all but it might not last as long as it could have. Definitely drop the oil and filter out, maybe even clean out the manifold when doing the TMIC and pipework?
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).
-
So I've checked the AVCS and turbo feed banjo filters and they are clean as a whistle

I thought i would put it out here for chch members to let you know my new tactrix cable has arrived. I know a couple of you wanted to get their cars tuned but my old cable didn\'t work on the newer cars. I no\w have one that works on all including the canbus subarus
Do you tune cars, or can you source them and upload with your Tactrix?
-
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.

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

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?
-
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.
-
Yes, I still have the whole exhaust.
-
Guess i\'ll be get my tune for 95 then....
-
Should\'ve mentioned this was at BP on Riccarton Road (Church corner end)
-
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.
-
The stock CB is already pretty good. As for fitting its a case of removing 2 bolts from the downpipe and removing the exhaust from the hangers - took me 20min to swap. Maybe keep the original CB and look for some Genome mufflers on TM.
For the downpipe, you can do this yourself but don\'t use US instructions - there are way more bolts and they are harder to reach on NZ/JDM cars.

Mine looked exactly like the one they advertise on TradeMe, that\'s where I purchased it from
http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/subaru/engines/auction-545174541.htm
This is the one I bought
Do u know what the code is thats bringing up the CEL? if not o2 sensor, could it be the thermostat one I forget the actual name, but I\'m pretty sure there is down near the bottom of the downpipe that measures the temperature of the exhaust gas
Thats the same one that I bought - came unpainted but I have since heat wrapped
Haven\'t checked the CEL codes yet, but the 2nd sensor looked pretty bad when I swapped it into the new DP
-
Thanks, mine did not come painted. Have fitted an HKS ES Premium Cat-back as well - have also replaced the front 02 sensor but still have a CEL.
-
Thread resurrection with a couple of questions......
1) did your downpipes come painted?
2) did you wrap/paint your DP?
3) what have you done to manage the heat from the DP?
4) did you get any CEL after installing?
Thanks in advance
-
Re-checked the DP today, turns out one of the studs that you mount the DP to the turbo has gone missing. I thought just the nut was missing but the stud has gone too.
Could an exhaust leak throw a CEL?
-
Sorry, I\'m in CHCH. Thanks for the offer
-
So just connect the plugs to get the CEL codes? How do I clear the codes? I\'m gonna let my car sit overnight with the -ve disconnected and see how that goes
-
Hi guys and gals,
I\'ve just installed a Subtech 2.5" downpipe/front pipe on my BP5. Driving up to Hanmer I got a CEL but the car is running the same as before.
I\'ve replaced the 02 sensor as it was very very black. CEL went away for 15min but is now back.
I\'ve looked for the black and green connectors but cannot find them under the drivers dash.
How can I check and clear the CEL?

vf38 comes in autos from 03-05, tdo4 comes in manuals from 03-05. 06-09 bp and bl legacys use vf44 turbo.
you can get the rebuilt kit from ebay
and the wheel from ebay
you will need to get your turbo balanced after repairs.
Interesting about the autos......mine has VF36 on the turbo label
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......
