2.0legacygt

I have found a leak at the turbo where the intake tube connects it’s a bad rip in the tube like it’s not even connected. I have a new one ordered. Hopefully it will change something and yes the turbo is free spinning and spools great i can here it spoil and I took the down pipe off and checked for shaft play and it has none. It just builds no boost.

Yes I understand it’s a cheap alternative. I didn’t put the turbo on I did do the swap though. And yes I would love to work with a tuner and no I have not. I don’t know where to start in terms of finding a tuner or what to ask of them. The car will barely do highway speed and going up a hill it feels like a lawnmower. Do you think a tuner could help it did the same thing with the 2.5 and that was with both the bad turbo and the used reman turbo.

Yes prior owner did have a blown turbo the dealer I purchased the car from replaced the turbo. it is a used turbo but it has no shaft play and spins freely I can hear it spool up while driving but it adds no power.

I used the turbo, intake, fuel system, and Harness from the 2.5. it is on the factory 2.5 ecu just without the exhaust avcs hooked up. The car is throwing no codes. So I don’t know where to start with diagnosis. The 2.5 blew because of a fan that stopped working there for it over heated and spun the rod bearings. So whatever the problem It didn’t cause the 2.5 to blow.

Hi I have a 2009 legacy gt that I just got done swapping a jdm ej20 in and I am having a problem with getting up to speed. It seems like the car has no power at all it will barely do 80 on the highway. it was doing the same thing with the 2.5 before I swapped it. Long story short I got the car from a shady car lot and it’s never been right the 2.5 blew up days after purchasing and I was hoping the 2.0 swap would solve all the problems. The engine runs great idling fine no shakes or stutter but if I put my foot to the floor I go no where. It is an automatic I’m not sure if it could be transition problems or not. The car is all stock except the engine swap. I just really need some help. Thanks!
