  1. I was using mobile1 5w30 and saw on here that it wasn't recommended. Thanks for the recommendation
  2. Sorry for asking this question but what oil would you recommend now that I'm installing a 16G TDO5 BNR turbo with the Imfamous oil line. I tried to search for the recommended oil thread on here but wasn't able to find anything. If you can just link me to the thread that'll be fine too. Thanks again
  3. So i received my turbo from BNR today as well as my Oil lines from Imfamous Performance. Thanks guys! So anyway, as far as the gaskets between the turbos, i'd assume i'll be needing new gaskets as well right? And I also assume that I can use the stock gaskets too? Can somebody confirm that please? And again, i do apologize as i am a newbie. Thanks for all the help and knowledge. This is quite a learning experience. Thanks! http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q174/truthyaj/Subaru%20Legacy%20Issues/IMG_2496_zps737ad25c.jpg
  4. Yea, i called and talked to Bryan about it and he suggested that i get a brand new OCV as well. But he did suggest that I buy an oil supply line from Imfamous well you guys ARE the expert here right? haha
  5. Yea i wasn't driving it really hard on the way back home. It was a winter storm in the middle of April!!!!!! hahaha So i took it really slow because of the weather. I drove back at 35-40mph or even slower to get home. There was no boost what-so-ever. Just curious, how would I know if it was a blown head gasket or not?
  6. hahha... wow that's a lot of Oil to put in. Can the engine even hold that much oil? haha.... Speaking of the Banjo bolt... i just pulled it out and this is what it looks like. Do you guys think this is clean or should i replace it anyway? http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q174/truthyaj/Subaru%20Legacy%20Issues/banjobolt1_zpscef06939.jpg I called and talked to Bryan at BNR and she said that i should replace the OCV. But here ya said
  7. I'm assume dropping the oil pan and check for any shavings in there would be the easiest of the 3 huh.
  8. Ok so i should haven't have done that. My bad. But How do i check it to make sure it's still good before i install the new turbo?
  9. Unfortunately i did drive it but it wasn't too long and too far. I'd say i probably drove it for about an hour. I was lucky i made it home safely. But i'm not sure what the condition of the engine is as of right now. How do i check it to make sure it's still good before i install the new turbo? I was able to start and run the engine the next day so I'm hoping that the engine is still ok. I was able to safely remove the turbo and was able to start the engine just to check. I didn't run it long though. Just for a few seconds just to see how it sounded like. I just called them and they only service Non Broken turbo Shafts. And they do not have any remanufactured VF40/46s available. how do i replace that? There will be more questions to come along so please be patient with me. But so far, I appreciate all the information so far. Thank You
  10. Hmm then where and how can i get a rebuilt VF40 with ZERO miles on it? I hope it's not gonna cost an arm and leg hahaha.... Like i posted earlier, found a USED VF46 for $350 but it's a risk not knowing what the previous user has done with it. With that said, something tells me that i SHOULD buy a New or Rebuilt/Remanufactured turbo charger that will bolt up easily w/o any further Modifications. I just want to get back on the road again so that i don't have to rely on public transportation. hahaha
  11. I probably have missed this part somewhere while reading.... but why would i need a new oil line? Can't i just use the old one? And it's about $800 just to do a stock tune? Seriously? I was thinking it was a swap turbo for turbo and get back on the road.
  12. Will This turbo work for my Wagon to replace my VF40? Source Link: http://www.fastwayracer.com/Forced-Induction-Turbo-Chargers/c1_2/p2637/Universal-GT2876R-Turbo-Charger/product_info.html Specs: Brand new GT2876R turbo charger.Max up to 480HP.

Turbine Wheel Diameter: 46.75MM/53.80MM. Compressor Trim: .70AR. Compressor Wheel Diameter: 57.89MM/72.95MM. Instruction is not included. Professional installation is highly recommended! Item exactly the same as picture shown. http://www.fastwayracer.com/images/TC-GT2876R.jpg Which one of these turbos will be a good stock OEM replacement for my VF40? http://www.fastwayracer.com/Forced-Induction-Turbo-Chargers/c1_2/index.html And yes, I already saw this thread. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/bolt-up-turbocharger-upgrade-vol-1-closed-119177.html But it doesn't give me any other options besides BNR turbos. Any suggestions besides BNR turbos that would bolt up directly w/o any further upgrades?
  13. How much is that gonna cost? Sorry guys, i'm not so much of a Tech Head like some of you guys are. I'm just a average joe with a Subaru Wagon with a turbo charger. I'm not into all these crazy upgrades that you guys do so i do apologize if Im such a NOOB.
  14. My turbo blew so I'm contemplating between getting a used VF46 or a brand new entry level BNR EVO 16G/TD05H. (Thinking out-loud) What advantage and disadvantage would i get if a used turbo versus a brand new turbo? USED VF46 PRO - Less expensive / Cheap - If it doesn't blow up again, then it would be a good buy. - This guy i know is selling his turbo for $350 for a used VF46. It had about 56K miles on it when he upgraded his turbo. I don't know if that's a good buy or not. CON - Don't know the longevity of it. I'm afraid it might blow up again considering turbos seem to blow around that range of miles. - Don't know if the previous owner abused it or not - No warranty. As Is Brand new entry level BNR EVO 16G/TD05H - I'm assuming this will be a direct bolt on replacement of my VF40. PRO - Brand new. Nothing to worry about - Warranty - upgraded turbo with wastegate actuator CONS - $750 - a bit out of my budget but i might have to fork it. Any thoughts? Help me make a better decision. Thanks for reading.
