Hi folks from Canada's East Coast! I have a 99 B4 EJ208 TT that I've been tinkering on for past 9 years and I'm having an issue with my secondary turbo leaking oil out both ends into compressor snail and downpipe/ECV. 2nd turbo is a VF26 CHRA with VF27 exhaust and compressor housings, so it's journal bearing type. The banjo bolt is identical to the one in the primary VF26 turbo, so oil flow should be the same. No restrictors that I've seen, but I've heard they're usually in line for the VF27 BB turbos. The stock VF27 was leaking oil too before swapping it out for the VF26 CHRA. Both turbos have fresh rebuild kits with primary being completely dry, yet 2nd leaks like mad. I'm almost positive the ECV is collecting oil because I get a bit plume of blue gray smoke when I spool 2nd turbo and the up pipe is oil soaked (maybe coming out through the ECV flap linkage. My current thought is over pressure inside the turbo CHRA which is pushing oil out through the seals (small piston ring type). Cause is either too much oil flow or poor drainage. I have a dual oil catch can setup that I've confirmed has good flow out of the crankcase and head breathers. And I'm positive I haven't overfilled the oil pan so it shouldn't be an issue of oil not draining due to crankcase gases flowing up the drain line. For oil supply, there is no restrictor, which I think is proper for a journal bearing turbo. Mind you the stock VF27 didn't have a restrictor either. Kinda stumped on why its leaking. Anyone have any advice? Related Mod List: Killer B oil pickup and windage tray Ebay Silicon TT inlet DIY dual oil catch can setup (PCV valve clean and floating proper)

Hi all, New to the forums, but am slowly starting to piece together a list of parts and what to keep an eye out for when I go BH5 GTB hunting. I am dead set on one, and am aiming to have one by the end of the year. Based on combing the available forum posts I have got a solid list of parts and things to look for, but I haven't found much on this topic. Now, I don't particularly love how the front bumper of the BH5, but the BE5 B4 RSK front bumper looks very nice, especially in white. It's something about those spotties and the front valance / things below the spotties. Is it a simple bolt on job or are the dimensions of the BH and BE different to the point where this couldn't work? Thanks in advance!

So, we've been trying to sort the clutch change in @bigDnz's BE5, after many a pain in the ass situations, we finally have everything in. But one major problem left, the clutch won't actually disengage. The release bearing has definitely clicked in, and the pedal has been set with full throw. It feels fine, it feels like it's pulling the plate, but not enough to actually release it. Any suggestions on things to try? Somebody said to me to replace the rod in the slave with something longer?

Hi all. Because dumb question thread seems to have gone will ask here. I have a fair bit of smoke coming out of bonnet scoop after a bit of hard driving. There are no oil spots on my drive, no signs of leakage anywhere and oil level isn't dropping at all. Seems from what I've looked at that it's not coming from the turbos but more from under the intercooler. Only other thing to add is I think I may have a little too much oil in the car atm. Thanks guys

Hey guys, what would be required to convert my 1999 BE5 sedan to look like a facelift model? Also is there any S401 replica kits available? Best looking kit IMO

Hi Team, I have a 2000 Subaru B4 Twin Turbo that I bought less than 5 days ago. I was told that the clutch needed done, which was fine. The girl I bought it off was quoted $1500 by a garage. I found some standard pull clutches for around $320 delivered. Was pretty stocked cos I payed FA for the car. Turns out I have hydraulic clutch and need a push type clutch. If I have push type, does that mean I will have the Dual Mass Flywheel also? I know that when changing clutch you should skim for flywheel, can this be done with a DMF? Cheers in advance...

Hey Team, Looking for the best place to take my B4. Need a clutch replacement - plan on buying parts myself. I don't have the room or garage (or experience) to do the repair myself - although I'd love to. The clutch is hydraulic (push type?) so I've been told it has Dual Mass Flywheel. Research tells me these can't be machined. Thinking of going for the DMF to SMF conversion like a lot of others have done. Not rich enough to buy new clutch kit and DMF. Any recommendations down south in Invercargill? Or anyone keen to do it for cash moneys??? Cheers.
