Bolksey85 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 You should get your exhaust coated, especially if you live in a snowy area. Many people have it and it rusted on them in only a few months. Plus you can go stealth and paint it black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not we have a subaru shop, I'm sure gaskets wouldn't be hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should come out to be about 7K for the car Not including the upgrades:spin: I'm going to cruise in the stock rims till snow gets finished. Then drop a good 13 bills on the 18"s Idk about the brakes. We'll see what happens. I thought about painting the brake calipers, Maybe just put some high quality pads and rotors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProjectPechkin Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Okay So a few bad news. Small stall but of little issue. Engine was pulled Turbo is cracked. Needs to be replaced. Along with a few other cracked items, (We have it all except for the turbo) I found a turbo for $425 through another Subaru Shop (out of state). Will probably order it today. Pics of the Engine. http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn83/ProjectPechkin/New%20Project%20Car/5a26b6e6.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn83/ProjectPechkin/New%20Project%20Car/34413e0a.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn83/ProjectPechkin/New%20Project%20Car/98c38f14.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn83/ProjectPechkin/New%20Project%20Car/813f118e.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn83/ProjectPechkin/New%20Project%20Car/1f0fc29e.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn83/ProjectPechkin/New%20Project%20Car/1c54e081.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJMC Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Look on the forums for your items. I know there are a few used stock turbos for sale for around $250. For new parts, if you are gonna buy try FredBeansParts or any other of our vendors. I'm sure they would get you best pricing and you are helping them help support our site Isn't that threaded hole part of the block? What is secured there?

PeterJMC Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Looks like one of your motors is cracked too. Might as well buy and install some TGV deletes too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(from Subaru tuners forum) There really aren't any huge gains from doing this mod to support spending the money on it unless you are absoultely trying to get everything out of your motor that you can.
