The Forester Turbo
Bit of an update.Fitted my uprated pump,also sorted out my snapped studs as well for the sender unit.Ive ordered some thermo heat wrap for my intercooler pipes for front mount.And ive heard from the Cusco UK dealer about the springs.Its gonna set me back about £250 which isn't cheap.Im gonna shop around for some longer springs with a softer spring rate because when I had my coil overs on and I tried to put some height on the coil overs the springs was getting really short and had no bounce which wasn't good

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
My job for the day was sorting out my snapped studs in the sender unit on the petrol tank and upgraded my fuel pump.I couldn't get my old snapped studs out so had to drill new holes in the tank and fit new bolts with a big head on it and use jb weld and rebuild it all

Swapping the housing isn't hard just needs to sit flush.I had a td05 in bits the other week.I removed the dowl from the compressor housing and clocked the turbo to stick on my mates lexus is200 lol and it works

Snapped petrol sender bolts
When I bought my Forester I went to change the Fuel pump to find I had some snapped sender unit bolts which I was really !Removed! off about so all ive done is just seal it just for the vapours.Im not happy with the soloution and want to sort it out.I was thinking of running the fuel really low and using a slow speed drill with all the doors and windows open for ventilation and keep the drill bit oiled up it would take seconds to drill through but I would take the sender out and do that separate away from the tank so there is plenty of air what do you think?
