Subtle performance ideas needed.

2x td04 turbos fully rebuilt
I like the way you get hardly any lag and it gives a linear boost on my car anyway, I'm finding a bit of oil in the turbo to ic pipe, I guess a little bit is normal ? I've no idea how long that turbos been on the car but it doesn't smoke or any weird noises and pulls hard. So if needs be I'll just replace it with the same

2x td04 turbos fully rebuilt
This is my problem,the engines on somewhere between 125-140k so don't want to get a new turbo or map then it let go. The misses wants some new !Removed! as the baby's been hanging off them for 6 months. That's my bartering tool anyway. Not looking for big power just a smoother and more responsive running car,maybe around 260ish ?

Squealing noise Help
I'd check the brake disk shield, Mine scuffed loads when I turned right and made a racket, when it was on ramps you could spin the wheel and nothing, as soon as there was any load it would make a sound, i got a flat head screw driver and just prised the edge away from the disk no more noise, just been replaced by a squeal on the other side

Hello, hello
Hi mate, try www.importcarparts.co.uk for the seal although I can't see it being much different to a UK spec car or the same era so mat be worth trying subaru of they can't get one for you. The radio may just need a band converter ro play uk stations, and any classic impreza downpipe should fit your car as the early legacies and foresters share the same platform

New member making some noise
Sounds about right, for motorway driving, expect that to drop to around 20-22 round town & short journeys if you really try 32ish can be acheived it's a bit boring though

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Measured the front and rear arb'd with vernier calipers, I got a measurement of 20.03mm on the front however there is some rust on,I was told a standard bar is 19mm front ? The rear measures in at a rather pathetic 13mm [emoji22] . So what front bushes do people reckon 19mm or 20mm ?
