Bolt up turbocharger upgrade - Vol-2
Turkeylord replied to SBT's topic in Turbo Powertrains (2.0GT, 2.5GT, 2.5XT)
Sadly, I don't have many miles with mine. Didn't really get past the break-in stage and finish a power tune. So, my opinion is probably a little premature, but it did seem a little slower to spool up for DD. Again, take that with a big grain of salt. I'm sure top end power would be much better, but I didn't get that far. -
Bolt up turbocharger upgrade - Vol-2
Turkeylord replied to SBT's topic in Turbo Powertrains (2.0GT, 2.5GT, 2.5XT)
Would you be interested in my BNR HTA68? I've been noodling going back down to a 16g/VF52. -
I believe it will be called "TGV Volt Right (V)". Can anyone back that up or correct?

Excellent, thanks! -

Beautiful today actually! I just shipped C23 a bunch more tees, they should be in good shape. Thanks! -
I'm not certain where that power comes from, or if it's modulated by the ECU to control the motor. You could probably verify by digging through the FSM, but personally I would just pull from a known good fused +12.
-
This. TGVs are rotated 180° relative to each other. You want the sensor plug, not the motor plug.
-
Disabling the codes doesn't affect the signal afaik. See the FSM pages in post #43 http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5192689&postcount=43 Getting to the ECU is pretty easy - it's in the passenger side footwell.

I'm sure there is a torque spec somewhere, but snug has always worked for me. -

Yes, very easy. Two bolts in the turbo (be careful threading these back in, compressor housing is cheese-grade aluminum), bracket, TB hose, and recirc hose. -

Yes, you will have to remove the intercooler, and there is only one tee. Thanks! -

Yup, it's been collecting dust in my garage for over a year now with low compression. I'll get on it one of these days. -

Do eet! I still have some 1/4" and 3/8" EBCS fittings too if anyone is in need. Thanks! -
Deleted the rods, plates, and dividers, welded the holes, then reinstalled the motor and sensor on the gutted TGV housing. Looks stock. I think I might've removed the electrical contacts from the motor and sensor.
-
Since I wired at the ecu, I simply plugged them back in to the motor and sensor.
-
I know others are fond of running wires out into the engine bay to connect directly to the TGV plug, but that's not really necessary. I did my wiring at the ECU - plenty of wire on the FailSafe harness for that. http://i.imgur.com/LKTJdj5l.jpg I pulled power from the cigarette lighter plug. I grounded to my ECU bracket - you can see it in the pic. I've attached the relevant pages from the service manual again to illustrate. Pun intended? 2005 Legacy GT Service Manual TGV.pdf

Bolt up turbocharger upgrade - Vol-2
Turkeylord replied to SBT's topic in Turbo Powertrains (2.0GT, 2.5GT, 2.5XT)
I don't have much to add, but I do want to say this: My second time my engine failed it ate a rod bearing. I sent my turbo in to Bryan for inspection. He checked it out at no charge, gave it a clean bill of health, and shipped it back to me at his expense. Fantastic customer service. AND that demonstrates the value and efficacy of Mike's filter kit. It did it's job and protected the turbo from all the bearing debris flowing through the oil passages. Kudos to both of you. -
What a time to be alive. Looking good!
-
Yep, that's what I ordered for my MAP sensor. Let us know how it works!
-
I had to move the rear crossbar forward quite a bit.
-
Now that I look back at the picture I posted 2 pages ago - that was before I adjusted it to clear the rear hatch. Here's a couple better pics of the proper location: http://i.imgur.com/CDZxh7T.jpg http://i.imgur.com/of50e3H.jpg http://i.imgur.com/CTq7d9e.jpg
