Good luck! What are your rebuild plans? Any fun bits going on in the process?

[turbo970]

[Fearnoevo]

Is 970 your area code? if so we could go do some driving.

[turbo970]

yup yup down by durango

[Fearnoevo]

aah I see. im out in GJ

[turbo970]

sweet. were you the one looking for a turbo wagon?

[Fearnoevo]

The very same

[turbo970]

yea i txted ya bout buying yours. but now its getting the motor rebuilt. i'm looking for a good budget turbo back exhaust now

[turbo970]

well my block passed all the testing the machine shop runs the rebuild it self starts Monday bought this to keep my eye on the boost

[turbo970]

and found this on e bay

[turbo970]

i'm thinking of getting this.



can this be adapted to the plastic tube that runs from the turbo outlet to throttle body ?

[Legacy777]

I wouldn't recommend running that BOV, since they can sometimes stay open at idle and cause poor idling and drivability....but that's just my opinion

Others do run BOV's so it can be done.

[turbo970]

but can i hook it up to the weird looking elbow that goes to the throttle body?

[Legacy777]

Yes, you can remove the hose that goes to the stock bypass valve and plumb it to that.

[turbo970]

sweet thanks josh

[turbo970]

more new parts

[turbo970]

my turbo back exhaust came today

[turbo970]

so where is the stock bypass hose run in the engine bay?

[Legacy777]

It runs underneath the turbo outlet piping to the BPV and then to the turbo inlet elbow.

[turbo970]

ok thanks josh. i know it sounded dumb but i never looked for it before it went to the shop

[turbo970]

ordered this today

[turbo970]

well the shop has all the parts for the subie. the motor should be here early next week. i'm hoping to drive it finally by early October

[turbo970]

painted some brackets and coffee cup mod red to add some color to engine bay

[turbo970]
