FunkyMonkey Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I am having a P2006 or P2009 CEL show up after I just put a VF52 in my car. I have a replacement TGV motor ready to go in. Both P2006 and P2009 indicate "Bank 1" .. can I determine if this is passenger or driver side with the "Bank 1" indication ? I am thinking it is driver side because that TGV is making a strange noise. I just want to make sure that's the one that needs replacement. Anyone ?

FunkyMonkey Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Ok thanks... I really thought it was drivers side. Looks like I will replace passenger side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyMonkey Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Alright thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonkey Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Pretty sure I banged up the sensor installing my VF52. Now I am in limp mode. Dangit ! I thought it was the motor, so I put a new one in. I noticed my gears on the TGV ( not the TGV motor ) Does not "spring back" so you don't need to clock it when you realign it.. so I thought that was odd. Still getting my P2006, but I think it's just the sensor now.. I will be putting a used, working sensor in the pass side soon and I assume this will fix my issue.

ehsnils Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Them sensors are pretty sensitive. At least they are easy to replace. Just make sure that you pre-tension it correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJuan Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 In the Subaru motors the Bank 1 is the Passenger side. Bank 2 is the Driver side. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 While the tmic is off, you may want to pull the starter and grease the shaft and remove the two ground wires on the bracket close there and clean the grounds really well. And tighten all the fuel line clamps too. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

FunkyMonkey Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 I has FMIC. Im gonna do poor mans TGV delete. Also, my real issue was that the heat shield was improperly cut, wastegate was not opening or something. Was never in limp mode. Fixed that, now I have boost. Next up is tune and TGV CEL deletes.. when the roads clear up. Thanks for the help all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonkey Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Max capacity, will that extend the life of my starter ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Max capacity, will that extend the life of my starter ? I would say that it will. Especially less trouble during the cold months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
