Boostjunkie Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I've had some problems with a few DP's. It seems a few were not bent perfectly to provide enough clearance to the cross-member. You can put a modest dent in the DP to provide the needed clearance. It's really a quick and easy fix that is completely effective and will not measurably affect flow/power. You could also clearance the cross-member as an alternative. A die grinder or Dremel would work fine, or even a couple minutes with a file will take care of it. If you are unable to get it to work to your satisfaction and the DP was purchased from me, I should be able to get you an exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-type86 Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 Thanks that my buddy that I picked it up off of had mentioned that as an alternative... It couldnt possibly be leaking at the turbo with these symptoms right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id hate to have to throw the stocker back on if I dont have to. thanks for the help Joe I can get it done for you. Honestly, try putting a dent in the one you have right now. It works fine to solve the problem and is really easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott j Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I had the same thing on mine when I installed it yesterday. I just loosened the bolt where it mounts to the trans, took a prybar and pulled the dp away from the crossmember, and retightened while holding it there. this fixed the banging. You my want to start there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2005garnetGT Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 +1 on denting the pipe not making any real difference (btw, call it "clearancing" it sounds much better ) I had to clearance my WRX DP for both my trans-pan bolts (5EAT) and a little bit to give me peace of mind for the firewall. flows enough to give me boost creep when I was on a stage 1 map, so thats good enough for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured I'd just be clear about what I was suggesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_templer_102 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Banging sound..? My car is really loud but i thought it was just the wastegate opening and closing. Basically don't have annoy noise while boosting, so i'm sure i don't have this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 If the DP is hitting the crossmember it'll sound like someone is tapping the underside of your car with a big-ass hammer! You're not likely to mistake that for wastegate flutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
