Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer

Well I decided to buy a cheap ass WRX turbo for now and run wastegate pressure (7PSi sonnn) until spring. It took me like 1 1/2 hours to install tonight and runs fine. Maybe the car will last more than a week this time =D

The failure of the turbo could be one of three things.
1.) There's a filter in the banjo bolts for the oil feed lines on Subarus, these get clogged and there's a TSB on them, the dealers just remove them. GO SUBARU! I removed this tonight.
2.) The VF39 was beaten on before I got it, however it didn't have any shaft play when I installed it.
3.) Jesus hates me.

Now it's time to get the Evo running.
