replaced vf38 with a vf45 on my 04 bp legacy. heaps of difference, much better spooling.

Better back to back untuned or you tweak it?

[Marky]

Legacy got glared at, Mazda got a sub wired into the factory stereo (didn\'t want to change head unit cause it has steering wheel buttons) - and had a crack at trying to get vf27 housing clocked to use as primary, rounded one bolt so thats now a job for a day with more patience

[nickch]

Changed my fuel pump...

Stunk up the whole underground parking lot ;D

Had SAS flush the trans fluid ( it came out black ) on the legacy and replaced the filter , while that was getting done gotasuby turned up with his laptop and tuning cable so he reset the trans ecu.

OMFG what a difference , soo much smoother and no more slip/banging into gears.

Cheers boys

na i had it for a while but never had a chance to fit it until i started loosing boost from the vf38. pulled out the vf38 just to find out that the gasket between the up pipe and turbo was missing all together . i had the car since it arrived in the country and i never worked on that turbo. funny there was no indication of exhaust leak at all despite doing so many upper engine cleans on every service.

Depending on model & year of car and new stereo, ripco/supercr@p/et al have factory harness adaptors that will let you keep the steering wheel functions

Hey Roo, do you have any picture of how your intercooler piping is routed? I want to do the same thing with mine.

Sort of but not really, can try remember to get some

[subieboy]

Adjusted the clutch travel/engagement point.

Finally got off my arse and fixed the driver\'s door card rubber trim - 5 years and finally fixed it.

Washing the poor thing.

Is that the turbo that come on the facelift versions?

Fixed the heater \'off\' button not working. Wired in the boost gauge light, Drove it, took mum for a drive: got to scare her back after all of these years rapid accelleration onto boost somehow scares people... ???

[Koom]

Tightened up the strut top in a failed attempt to stop it knocking, needs new top bearings

Changed the gearbox oil so now it goes into second when you pull back on the gear lever ;D

Also looked at all the oil leaks and gave up all hope of ever having a non oily motor/gearbox in the wee Peugeot...

[legacy666]

Attempted to resolve the CEL that keeps popping up by swapping the wiring harness off the old knock sensor onto the new knock sensor(when I say new I mean a few months old). Reset ecu and went for a drive. Looked hopeful but on the second pull over and stop then restart the car she starts flashing again. looks like I\'ll be finding a new one.

[clintondane]

I removed the front left wheel, removed front brake pads and bent back wear indicator and got rid of that god awful noise. Now to order some new pads and do a change, including new brake fluid.

[sobanoodle]

A new set of Potenzas, front/rear Cusco sway bars, still need to install a lower arm brace.

[Roo]

My boss was kind enough to grab my headers for me while he was in christchurch on saturday, so I picked them up from work today.

Pictured with the wastegate

Got my stages today too, dropped the damaged one off for repair.

Where are the wastegates usually mounted?

I figure I\'ll need a banana dick pipe coming off the up pipe to bring the wastegate up beside the turbo then the pipe can go down alongside the downpipe?

[ADIKT]

That\'s how mine was mounted. Off up pipe. Sat just behind turbo. Plumbed into dp

[Roo]

Sweet, I always thought there was heaps of room but I tried holding the wastegate in different positions and I couldn\'t really find a nice place to put it

[Koom]

I put mine down behind the steering rack. Fitted nicely with enough room to get to it and it kept the pipework nice and short from the up-pipe.

exactly what i did and black wastegate all plumbed back looks good and cops arent the wiser

Purchased DCCD Pro Auto Controller for my gbox ;D ;D A bargain i couldnt miss out on.

[evljat]

Replaced the swaybar with a whiteline 22mm thanks to evowrx for a mean deal.

Old one looked pretty beef so I put the new one on at the stiffest setting. And fark me gave it a little bit of gas out of a corner (not boosting) and I could feel the rear unsettling. Definitely need to give it a go down Twilight rd this weekend.

Nice diagram on the install manual for that.
