May 24, 201411 yr I didn't intend on selling it so I've still got it bud . Just intended to keep it in the shed as a spare . I will be keeping the actuator as it's the same as the one im running on my tdo5. I'll send you a text to let you know where I am and we'll sort something fella Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

May 24, 201411 yr Here's another thread with some info on vacuum pipes /restrictor pill location and size http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/index.php?/topic/6050-More-boost!-disappointment/slight-happiness... Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
May 25, 201411 yr Nice to meet you today matt , have you got that turbo fitted yet [emoji6] Might be worth unplugging the crank sensor (so it doesn't start straight away) To get the oil around the engine and turbo before initial start up All the best clive Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
May 27, 201411 yr Author Quick update on the headache, yes clive got the turbo fitted the only problem now is I cant test it as dont know what the problem is but when gets to roughly 3k it splutters and backfires and now have engine management on, if any1 knows any 1 who wants I will take £900 as just had enough now and I will spend 3k on a nice newer subaru wrx, if there is any 1 who knows what there doing either in west mids area who could have a look if they think its summat simple, im starting to think summat around boost system for defo but not enough knowkedge with subarus, its running a 3port with no pill but it has not boosted right since I bought it and ive now had enough so kts a easy fix or it goes
May 27, 201411 yr Author Never spluttered or had engine management light on before but never boosted right now my mechanic has stripped it down put it back together with new charger and its worse than before it wont rev through it its like ecu is cutting it out, maybe last try a boost solenoid and maf then thats it as only want it done to sell and get a newer 1
May 27, 201411 yr Sorry to hear that matt at least you can cross faulty turbo off the list as that one was of my own car . what ecu has it got in it ? Have you got any ecu codes ?(if it's a subaru ecu) Have you checked the wiring to the o2 and map sensor , dump valves not leaking ? Have you tried running "actuated boost" which is to just run a vacuum pipe from the actuator to turbo inlet (should give you 0.5 bar) . hope you get it sorted fella
May 27, 201411 yr Author Needed the turbo anyway Clive as oil seal blew in other 1 will sort 1 way or another
May 28, 201411 yr Author Every time I try and read codes it is blowing a fuse for dash lights and fan comes on instantly
May 28, 201411 yr Author All sorted cheers for the input guys and away I go with my boxer sound and the turbo whistling and she's boosting nice, after research she does have a ecutek ecu and I have fitted new solenoid and Maf and that's the fix so if any1s still interested I want 1200 now lol
June 14, 201411 yr Author Gambit could u remove my number off the forum please as I said months ago I used link and it still posted to open topic
