| #2 | It will be gutless without a turbo, even worse than a non turbo. | Driver_morrisman1 Feb 16, 2012, 7:50 pm |
| #3 | Feeling the sting of rising petrol prices! | Driver_duke250 Feb 16, 2012, 7:54 pm |
| #4 | Sorry mate, the guy you know is an idiot. You can't just remove a turbo, fill the extra holes with bolts and use a non turbo exhaust manifold. There is MUCH more to it than that. If you want a non turbo engine, it will be much cheaper fitting a non turbo engine than making yours non turbo | Driver_andrea_w Feb 16, 2012, 7:54 pm |
| #5 | oh.ok, well the thought was there.ok next question then.with my turbo being non operational so to speak, is it just a matter of replacing the turbo or is there more to it.I would take it in to the shop to get it fixed, but don't have the dosh so was hoping to do it myself if not to complicated. | Driver_holdenm4n Feb 16, 2012, 7:54 pm |
| #6 | hehe.no definitely not.my step daughter borrowed it one night and the turbo had a slight failure shall we say.lol | Driver_holdenm4n Feb 16, 2012, 7:56 pm |
| #7 | Assuming there is just a fault with the turbo and nothing else, yep it's simply a matter of replacing the turbo (and maybe some appropriate gaskets). There is a member that's very clued up with Subaru turbos, hopefully he sees this and lets you know what turbo(s) will fit your car (there is likely more than 1 Subaru turbo that will replace yours) | Driver_andrea_w Feb 16, 2012, 8:00 pm |
| #8 | aggree with above as I have done it to a beater I have, yea a bolt in the oil return for the turbo oil return line and possibly water too,pretty simple, some intake mods/re routing too possibly | Driver_jokerboss Feb 16, 2012, 8:23 pm |
| #9 | She blew the turbos, wtf good effort. Hope you took her allowance away! | Driver_duke250 Feb 16, 2012, 8:28 pm |
| #10 | Whe you replace a turbo make sure the oil feed line is not blocked. | Driver_alltorque350 Feb 16, 2012, 8:35 pm |
| #11 | which turbo is buggered! there are 2 turbos my bet is the primary one is gone. what is it actually doing! | Driver_mushwantstobuy Feb 17, 2012, 9:32 pm |
| #12 | Most likely the primaryturbo. At a guess that has a Vf13 primary. Have a look on the turbo there is a tag which has the type stamped in. Get your self a replacement pretty cheap cheap (you can find them on here if you look around) and change it. Its not hard. About 4 hours work will do it. Primary is on the passeger side dont drive it like it is symtoms are normally no boost oil in exhaust exsternal oil leaks. I wouldnt be to hard on the girlit was proberbly readyto go preety conmon . | Driver_electro2000 Feb 18, 2012, 9:09 am |

| #14 | 4hours haha. are you taking the engine out as well electro2000! 1hour would be more realistic. if you can't do it in that time then you don't know what your doing and things can turn to custard pretty quickly as you break things along the way. heres how. Drain water remove TMIC remove downpipe Unbolt water lines from turbo unbolt turbo oil feed line(at the join) undo intake clamp undo turbo up pipe bolts and pull turbo off.the oil drain hose will pop off with alittle jolt. Then replace turbo etc. Key things to remember. CRC or inox is your friend. Spray and walk away 30min if to tight. make sure the oil drain hose is lined up before bolting it to up pipe Don't lose the copper washes for the banjo bolts Remember to replace primary turbo with the matching secondary turbo.vf18/19 are a good combo and straight fit B/B Although replacing it with the factory turbo is always best given the tune it runs, injector size,weakness of the early ej20tt HLAs and cast pistons, open deck block, cosmetic head gaskets and comp ratio etc etc but finding a good primary turbo that's nearly 20 years old may prove difficult.which is where replacing with a newer pair comes in. If I had a 95 tt leggy that i wanted to keep with a stuff primary i would single turbo it for reliability and drive-ability purposes as per V.O.D with the twin turbo setups annoy me(personally). there are many roads you can go down. up to you:) | Driver_hijacka Feb 18, 2012, 1:20 pm |
| #15 | 1 hour! Dreaming mate, unless every bolt comes off with ease and you've done hundreds of these before. Removing and refitting the intercooler is a prick of a job in itself. What a stupid design. But, anyway, I've done two so far and both took around 3 hours. Don't forget, you still need to bleed the cooling system and road test the vehicle and recheck for any oil or water leaks. Oil supply for the primary turbo is in the cylinder head, right behind the timing cover, and there's usually a gauze filter under the banjo fitting which should be removed (which means, cambelt and inner timing covers off, so there's another 3 hours). | Driver_mugenb20b Feb 18, 2012, 1:40 pm |
| #16 | 1 hour!to remove and refit. and recheck all is ok!.no way.!.sorry. | Driver_ozz1 Feb 18, 2012, 1:54 pm |
| #17 | Well hijacker did my vf26 primary last weekend bonnet up to bonnet down 4 hours which included going up the road to get couple new studs so 3 on tools- I have done a couple or more | Driver_electro2000 Feb 18, 2012, 3:09 pm |
| #18 | 4hours is engine in and out. sorry your all abit slowwwww. | Driver_hijacka Feb 18, 2012, 7:48 pm |
| #19 | You said "one hour would be more realistic". Which I'm guessing you can replace the turbo in that time, right! | Driver_mugenb20b Feb 18, 2012, 7:59 pm |
| #20 | . Correct 1 hour is all i need my friend. Others may need more time or struggle with removal etc. I however know the in's and outs alot better than most and have done plenty of them. is there something ''hard'' about it or is there something that you struggle with! I'd be more than happy to help:) | Driver_hijacka Feb 21, 2012, 8:31 am |
