Thanks!

newbie question, what is (are) the difference between the GT Turbo Legacy and the GT Spec B? Price dif?

The jdm gt's had the bilstein shocks too so the only diff was the spot light housings... The 18" rims and some metal pedals

Jdm spec b's could be optioned from the show room in japan...

Im only refering to the 03-05 jdm gt's

The 06 gtb's in the nz market got the 6mt and some sweet 18" shadow chrome rims

Among other things

Thread is old but I could not find a definite answer in here or by using the search function.

Correct

did they change turbos from 2005-2007 model to 2009-2009 from a vf 40 to a vf46?

I just blew and replaced my turbo on my 08 LGT Limited (5EAT). Went OEM (for now) on the replacement but I couldn't figure out which one it was either. The info I found in the forums led me to believe that for MY08 and MY09, Subaru started using the "5 arch designed" VF46. I ended up calling SOA with my VIN to confirm and sure enough, it was an IHI VF46 installed from the factory. OEM replacement bolted up nicely, with the only struggles being the stuck nuts (etc) on the exhaust and getting the new turbo down on the oil return and plugged into the main air intake hose simultaneously. 1st attempt left about 3 qts of Rotella on my garage floor on initial startup so check that oil drain (back into the bottom of the block) hose clamp twice, or have about 20 gallons of sawdust on standby for cleanup.

If you are replacing your turbo, MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE ALL THE BANJO BOLT FILTERS from your oil feed lines while the turbo is out!!! It seems like all of the filters were removed from my car EXCEPT the one on the back of the block, which is a PITA to get to and remove. You pretty much have to remove the TMIC, Turbo (and all oil/coolant lines), Up Pipe, and Exhaust just to get to the little $5 sucker and yank it out. BUT that filter was the one that clogged, failed, crumpled, and starved my old turbo for oil, resulting in a blown turbo and a week of no Tu-Tu-ing around town while parts came in. Oh and the $$$, time and effort in replacing it, while depleting my upgrade/mod budget for a while.

or

You Need A New Short Block...

Y(Gonna)NANSB probably should have been the model code!

Noob question, I can't find what "nansb" or "ynansb" means. I've searched and searched, but all I can find is the acronym referenced, nobody has spelled it out.

I've been trying to look this up, to not look like a Googleless tool, but...

I thought that the LGTs used the VF48 and the STi used the VF52.

Or was it LGT 05-07 for the VF48, and 08-09 for the VF46?

SC

05-07 have a vf40. 08-09 have a vf46.

The vf52 is the newer WRX turbo as I understand it.

The 4th gen GT's have two banjo filters. In 05-06 they are located on the front and back sides of the heads. I think in 07- they moved them to the top of the heads in a vertical position. The banjo bolt on top of the turbo only has the orifice in it.

Thanks!

Does anyone know where I could find one those PDF manuals that show pretty much the whole car in explode view providing all the part numbers. Specifically for the EDM BP9?

I got mine for my 2001 BE off eBay. After I won the auction I received an email with the file attached. It's better than a book in my opinion because you can do a keyword search to skip to part you're looking for.

Looks like they have one for 05'-09': http://m.ebay.com/itm/SUBARU-LEGACY-2004-2009-OFFICIAL-FACTORY-SERVICE-REPAIR-MANUAL-PDF-FAST-SEND-/262760320809?hash=item3d2dbc4f29%3Ag%3AyO0AAOSwe-FU%7EQc9&_trkparms=pageci%253A7f06c6c8-d837-11e6-856d-005056b6719e%257Cparentrq%253A8f16d29c1590a624b8e146e8ffc13648%257Ciid%253A2
