which is why i'm suggesting the 70mm because 65mm is OEM size,and will become a limiting factor in your tune when you upgrade the turbo.

Guys, I called Subaru to see how much it would cost to replace my turbo stud, anyway, the guy had no idea what I was talking about and told me it could be up to $420 in labor!!

**** you Subaru!

I'm so lazy and I don't want to replace it by myself but I miss my RS*R exhaust note soooo badly so I think I need to suck it up soon. I also need to replace a boot and a wheel stud, and get new tires...

I don't think the guy knew what a turbo stud was b/c he said "if it is one of the tough ones, you'd be looking at $420 in labor alone."
Which one of the studs would be considered tough? I asked for the service dept. but I got the receptionist who thought she could help, and then they passed me to that guy.

Your A/F should read about 1:1 and the EGTs are safe from about 10,000 to 10,500 degrees. I think the oil and fuel pressure should both be near 750 psi.

I crack myself up.

KiTsuNe · 05-22-2008, 10:09 AM

so you'll be driving me around if my car blows up?

importfanatic17 · 05-22-2008, 10:13 AM

Sure, as long as we can put all of your parts on my car. Haha. I think we should all bombard Tracy soon and install some more of Grambo's parts and change my damn studs!

just let me know where and when

you guys can play with my new tranny setup

flatthump · 05-22-2008, 11:02 AM

You need atleast a 70mm MAF Dan.

I'm using a 65mm because I can just swap it out and tune for something bigger. But if you're going to get tuned once, get something bigger than 65mm. I'm leaving 10-15whp on the table because my MAF is maxed out.

This is when Grambo jumps in and says "hey, I'm free on on Sunday, let's do it then."
