  1. We locals really ought to take this unit out for a test drive. It's still for sale! I mean....the turbo is guaranteed for a year! What could go wrong? Ahem...
  2. Hey guys. Long time no see! I wasn't sure where to drop this thread, so chose here. Just thought you all would appreciate this particular specimen. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van/ctd/d/burnaby-2004-subaru-legacy-wagon-4wd/7027115320.html
  3. This is my plain Jane. No makeup, but for AP Stage 2 and a couple other goodies. Edit: 1/2/18...Sold it in Sept./17 @ 65k mi. 'Twas a great relationship. So too was my experience on this forum. Thanks to everyone for being so helpful! http://legacygt.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=2395&pictureid=11525 http://legacygt.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=2395&pictureid=11527 http://legacygt.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=2395&pictureid=11526
  4. Can't find the link, but what it entailed was something about Rotela T6 lowering it's zinc content level this Fall. Anyone? Bueller?
  5. Hey guys. Just checking in after a bit of a hiatus from this site. I hope everyone is well. My car is still running like a charm, although I haven't been driving more than twice a week for the past 6 months. Sitting now at 62k miles. Yes, I still feel like I'm walking on egg shells whenever I drive it. Read....no revs over 5k....*ever* ! Yeah....I know. I really should sell it given my very limited mechanical abilities. I would be soooo choked were the turbo to go (or anything else major), thereby forcing me to source out all the info. and parts needed. I wouldn't have the patience nor knowledge for that. Ah well. Not a 3rd world problem, as they say. Cheers! edit: The best part? She doesn't burn a spec of oil. Not a none!
  6. Just the other day, I finally turned 'er over to 60k mi. Darn it! Some parts replaced include: driver's rear wheel bearing oil pickup tube and baffle (Killer B, ftw) fuel system cleaning and de-carbonizing service accessory belt transmission/differential oil change(s) coolant flush with Subaru blue Needs: A full brake job. Going with Hawk pads, steel lines, and quality rotors. Timing belt and related parts, in 1 year. Clutch....not yet! Turbo....oh boy. Not yet! Plus, plus, plus! I'm on it! A better described link here.... http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/canada-2008-subaru-legacy-gt-spec-b-stage-2-250560.html Yes, it's for sale. No rush to sell though. Still "lovin' it", yes. It's just that I don't have a whole lot of mechanical experience, so I kind of feel like I'm walking on egg shells whenever I drive it (I never rev above 5k!). It doesn't help either in that from what I see, every single one of you guys wrench your own cars. Thanks to everyone who shares their experiences here on the forum, as well as private messages whenever I ask. Much appreciated!
  7. Welcome to the forums, meowtown and all new folks. You might want to give this thread a thorough read to avoid.....meltdown. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/turbo-failure-wiki-173358.html
  8. Still going strong on original turbo, clutch, intercooler, approaching 90k mi. Course, I always shift by 4 k , eh? Edited to delete remaining text, due to thread drift, and perhaps a change of heart. Good idea on pics! Doh....
  9. A total gentleman was BarManBean/Mike, in answering my questions re. the kit. Any queries you may have for him....ask away!
  10. hI, I'm looking for the **quietest** catback exhaust for my LGT wagon. Currently have the Borla in my sights. Any thoughts, please? TIA
  11. Nope, tehnation, not asking that....exactly. But thank you...sincerely. I'm more or less asking if there is a ballpark mileage where I should start thinking about replacing my turbo. jasejase pretty much answered my question (a few lines up) by saying there really is no hard or fast rule to determining the time to replace. I'm going in soon to have a new catless UP installed, as well as a new catback exhaust. Wohoo! I'll have them check for shaft play then. Darn it though....I just don't want the headaches involved with a failed turbo. Does anyone replace as a means of preventative maintenance (at Stage 2)?? Thanks to everyone for helping the new guy out.
  12. Thanks Daniels. I realize the vf40 is maxed out with Stage 2. What I'm hoping for is a reply that tells me how much longer (ballpark #) I can go on my stocker. Or....If there is anyone who has replaced it as a preventative measure and at what mileage they did so (at Stage 2). Perhaps it's a question that really can't be answered. Hence the no replies. Beuller? Beuller?
  13. Hello everyone, Stupid question, part deux.... Please, can someone advise me *if* there is a 'when' my stock turbo is "maxed out", and or I should start to consider replacing it? I ask because I really don't want to have to deal with all the headaches that come with a failed turbo. I am now at 86k mi., use synthetic oil which I make sure is always topped up, and change when due. Running Accessport Stg.2 , along with an aftermarket catted DP. Due to go in soon to have a new catless UP and catback exhaust, to replace my stock. I'll have them check for shaft play. Have never had a check for metal in my oil pan, but will next change. Easier to remove banjo filter is removed. It was spotless. Having no issues, none, at the moment. Having to top up oil only minimally now. If I missed any info., ask away.
