Dear all thanks for your help. The car is back, and sorted. The garage did take a time, but mainly because they were so busy, and forgot to mention that when they agreed to have my car dropped off. The issue I had was fitting the Fuji Racing AVCS & Turbo Braided Oil Feed Line - (Legacy Twin Scroll 03-06) from ICP to my 2004 Subaru Legacy Spec B GT as it was an Auto, and ICP had no fitting advice. The solution in the end was to modify one of the brackets, as per the picture, and the garage was able to fit the line. I am happy with the result. Cheers for the support, and interactions. (and here's a pic of her back on the driving, awaiting a centre pipe, and a pic of my lovely refreshed turbo.

Not wanted to argue, but in the initial picture, I can see my bango has a long neck, there is a short one as you say where the thread comes of the bango, but the one they have fitted to the block has a longer neck, so the t piece was sitting to high when they try and fit it. Not sure why they didn't try and swap it with the other short one but hey ho. I have took you advice, and ordered a 90 and 45 fitting to try and give them options and a bango with the thread off the fitting, the issue was I didn't know what size I needed, but I have gone with a 4an 12m based so some research, just hope the thread pitch is right. Worse case, If I can get the original pipe I can send it to earls and get one made up, more time and expense though. cheers John

So, sorry been late to the party. Its a 2004 JDM Import, that was brough into the UK in September last year, I had been looking for a year on and off for one but kept missing out, and randomly one night it popped up on a eBay search. I sent the guy a deposit, awaited the UK registration to complete as I was the first UK owner, and the garage drove it to my house 3 weeks later. Its got full Japanese history 53,000 miles, its a 5 speed Auto, is standard bar a now it has a GFB POV and set of STI silencers, and a copy STI Front lip, as the orignial one was missing but they are 400 quid for a second hand one, so that can wait. I plan to attempt a double din radio swap with if, after buying some parts from Japan. Sadly though the turbo went just before xmas, and its been in the shop since then, as the garage is not used to JDM cars, and is trying to plumb in the new turbo line, after cutting the old OEM one off. Universal turbos in the UK did an amazing job on the turbo though. So even though I love it, I am a little disappointed at the moment, as missed all the winter snow lol

Dear all Can anyone tell me what Turbo Oil Feed line replacement will work for the Spec B GT Auto VF38 Turbo My 2004 WR Limited is in the garage after having a turbo rebuild, and they were going to fit a new braided line form ICP (Fuji Racing AVCS & Turbo Braided Oil Feed Line - Legacy Twin Scroll 03-06), but it will not fit, as per the pictures, and ICP have no fitment advice. So the car has been stuck in the garage for weeks now, as they try and work out what's needed, and they are not JDM specialists so are a bit stuck. Has anyone on here replaced the standard turbo oil feed lines, and if so what did you buy? regards John
