  1. I replaced the original turbo with a OEM vf52, deleted the factory oil cooler, banjo bolts have been removed since day 1. I already plan on sending them a sample to get analyzed, just hoping to get some helpful information sooner than waiting as I hear it usually takes 3-4 weeks for results.

  2. How long should one expect to see metal flakes in oil after a new OEM block? I expect there would be some for the 1st few oil changes. I don't recall seeing much during the last oil change, but last night there was a silvery shimmer in the oil, I don't even recall seeing any before. I pulled the intercooler and found very small amounts of silver metal inside as well. Original motor spun a bearing, maybe the intercooler wasn't cleaned properly and it's leftover? Oil pan wasn't replaced either so maybe contaminated from the pan? Turbo isn't making a strange noises, could it be the turbo still going bad? Have about 3000 miles since the new block was installed. 3 oil changes. What is the normal when it comes to metal in oil on a new build, is this common practice to have metal in oil for 1st few changes then it goes away? I have a hard time seeing it goes away 100% Hoping not to find out I just didn't spend all this $$$ to be looking at another motor. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
  3. I eliminated my oil cooler on my 05 Outback XT. Is there any issue running water pump 21111aa250 with 2 pipes versus the 3 pipe? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
