MD/VA/DC guys!! Who can help me with turbo swap? hands on help or good write ups?

speedjunkie · 03-25-2008, 09:56 PM

Hey guys so all of my parts are in now including FP Red, perrin turbo inlet, injectors, tgv deletes, oil catch can, megamaf intake. Me and my buddy who drives an evo are going to attack this project but have never done this on a subaru. Being that it's my car and not just working on someone elses I am a little nervous. Is there anyone out there who can lend a hand with the install who has experience?

If you can not provide help maybe point me in the right direction of some good how to write ups.

I am doing it myself by the way because I was quoted $1700 bucks to install with tune. Hell that's new summer rims for that money.

I might be able to lend a hand, I've done all of this before. Just know though that removing the intake manifold to install the TGV deletes is a major pain. When are you trying to do the install?

I was going to go to the big meet on the 12th but now seeings that is my next weekend off I am just going to do the swap then.

Heres a how to for the intake removal and reinstall with torque specs included.

Just make sure you torque the intake to TGV bolts correctly as they will stip easy.(have a real good torque wrench)
