the one that is in the hub is the hard one.

it isn't recommended to do this in a driveway, at least that's what I heard from my subaru tech friend who has done more work than anyone I know.

but ultimately it is up to you.

the hub one is not easy to press in, needs some crazy press IIRC.

the one that is in the trailing arm is easy enough since you can take it all off.

the front trailing arm bushing still requires atleast a 5 ton press. it's a bushing in a steel sleeve that you have to press in. check my journal.

i'm in the process of machining a bushing puller/pusher similar to bigsky's tool for the rear trail arm bushing in the hub

Well, I had my ACT Sprung 6-Puck with HD Pressure Plate and Sprung 6-Puck installed today by P&L.

It is actually not that hard to drive. I'll update after more seat time.

During the install the tech noticed I have a nice 3/4" long crack in my VF39.

MKTURBO · 02-22-2008, 08:19 PM

what was the cost for p&l to install it?

fullerton · 02-23-2008, 04:03 AM

$500, More than I would have liked. I was quoted "about $360".

One of the bolts on the bell housing was cross threaded and took the tech what seemed like and hour to remove. It became a 5.5 hour job instead of a 4-4.5 hour job.

Add in $50 for some AMSoil 75w90 SVG and it cost too damn much. This is why I like to do things myself.

Wanna sell me your VF43?

MKTURBO · 02-23-2008, 08:57 AM

yeah i'll sell you the 43 when i get my gt52........damn.....800+ for a install in alot....holy crap!

fullerton · 02-23-2008, 10:12 AM

where did you get $800?

MKTURBO · 02-23-2008, 10:59 AM

oh i read it wrong....i though you said 500 more than what u wanted (360) so i figured 500 more than 360.....ooopsss....when you looking to get the vf43 and re-tune?

fullerton · 02-23-2008, 11:20 AM

not sure... when are you thinking to get the new turbo?

MKTURBO · 02-23-2008, 11:34 AM

whenever it comes off of matt(limited projects car) and is sent to me

fullerton · 02-23-2008, 05:09 PM

I've been thinking of maybe a used VF43 (matt') or VF48.

What do you guys think of that vs. a bigger turbo like the P&L 30r kit?

I'd prolly still throw some bigger injectors and a fuel pump in while I am at it. Maybe even meth... who knows. Maybe a x-pipe and P&P stock headers.

Any other suggestions for a budget upgrade?

Patricio · 02-23-2008, 05:19 PM

I HAVE 5K and am getting ready to do a turbo upgrade and would sell you mine. its off a stock 07 STI

i think that if your a track whore....like myself a 30r is perfect....but if you already have all the stuff for stock location turbos.....go 20g or dominator or gt52.....

ben, i'll sell you my vf43 no problem when i recieve my gt52.....

personally, knowing you i'd suggest getting my vf43, adding a aquamist HSF-5 water injection, and a gruppe-s un-equal lengh header, and a walbro fuel pump....although the meth injection is expensive it offsets the cost of race gas and the extra tuning costs....
