I've addressed MBCs a lot more in the 6 years after this thread. The short version is that once you learn how to adjust boost control with the ECU they're not worth the hassle.

Original turbo? What if its seals are starting to go and the oil and water are mixing there?

It's the only other part of the car where the two converge. It's a small chance but still possible.

I'd like to see such an expose on U-Haul trailer rental policies. They are very strict as to what vehicle is allowed to tow which load. It's all done by computer so you can't fudge the numbers, and...

I've never had a 5x10 (aka the MV) in stock -- I think it may be a new mdoel -- but it's my experience that the dual axle trailers are simply too big for a unibody car to tow. With a 1200lb empty...

I'm a U-Haul dealer so I should be able to help a bit.

The most you'd want to tow would be the 5x8 (aka the AV). It's light enough that I pick it up and move it around the lot by hand even though...

I would hope that his tune isn't so aggressive that slight elevation or a different filter would make much difference.

Mine started out that way but it soon got worse as I let it idle while logging. As far as I'm concerned it's toast.

If it does turn out to be just a valve the new owner got one hell of a deal for...

I got laughed at on another board for asking $50 for a v1 Tactrix cable.

Keep the cable, and you should also have a boost gauge anyway. All turbo cars should have one despite what Subaru may...

It probably won't bolt onto your car without other mods unless it's a LGT-specific turbo like BNR makes. You'd have to use another intercooler or something else to make its output connect to your...

I guarantee the stereo stuff isn't in the car when it hits their lot for resale. It was removed by dealership employees just after you traded :D

If you unplug the MAF and the car runs well, it means there's a leak. There's a small chance that the MAF sensor itself is bad but the odds are 99.99% that it's a leak.

If you can see exhaust until the car warms up, something is wrong. A little rich is fine but mosquito fogging just because the engine is cold points to other issues.

As far as I know, yes. I don't have the time, place, or skills to attempt a fix myself. I can do any bolt-on imaginable but cracking the engine open is where I have to draw the line.
