Planning Turbo Replacement/Upgrade - Looking for input...
-
Thanks Dave, so far I don't think there's any rubbing on the compressor cover, but I'd rather not get to that point.
-
One week till I can start buying. There are a couple sets of Deatschwerks 850cc sidefeeds for sale on the forums, might do that instead of modding mine. Any shops in town do injector cleaning?
Any of you subie guys modded your fuel pump assembly for the Walbro 255? Not sure I have the patience to wait till mid Jan for the DW drop-in. Also, when the turbo's off I'll have easy access to the EGT sensor - delete?
-
I'm running a pair of Walbro 255 injectors in my WRX. When I had just a single 255 I ran off an unmodified stock hanger. I had to modify it slightly to strap the 2nd pump to it however.
No reason to delete the EGT in my opinion.

UP pipe cat is gone already, so I don't have to worry about that.Bought a VF40 core and had it shipped to BNR this week. Got dibs on a set of DW850s in the quad cities, looking at a couple TMIC options in the classifieds, and getting a quote from Infamous for the rest.
Still haven't decided when exactly I'm gonna get it done, not like I need the power over the winter... But then again, the sooner the old turbo's out the better.

I've got a really nice 4.5" thick BPM tmic for sale pretty much brand new with y pipe. 275$ takes it

Thanks, but I'm looking for a bolt-in 05-09 LGT/08+ WRX style TMIC.
Ordering the 16g today...
-
DW850s, etune, filtered oil supply line, GS EBCS & new gaskets bought today. Just need a fuel pump & TMIC...
-
250$ for the tmic? Can send pics to show quality
-
Not even sure what it would take to adapt for flanged turbo outlet & recirc. Show me it can be done cheaply and maybe we can work something out.
-
Sorry thought you were upgrading to a non flanged outlet compressor style turbo
-
Ah, no problem. Yeah, if I was doing that I'd go FMIC anyway
Bought the Walbro today, thanks Tintmasters!
-
Found a deal on a TMIC, AVO it is... Pick it up on the 11th in the cities.
Injectors came today, and the guys at United said some of the diesel shops in town might be the place to go for a thorough cleaning - I'll have to check that out. Flow sheet looks good, all between 847 and 850cc.
-
Got a shipment notice and tracking number from BNR, my EVO3 16G is on it's way! Now I just hope it survives the madness that is UPS during the holidays...
Still holding onto hope that the DW65c's will be out sooner than later, I'd rather not have to modify the fuel pickup assembly if I don't have to...
-
Got my base etune yesterday & turbo today. Everything is here except the intercooler, which I'll pick up Monday.

Hell yeah... I'm gonna go into UPS withdrawls after all this.

Picked up the TMIC in the cities yesterday.
Hope to get the fuel pump in one of these nights, then Friday/Saturday do the rest of the install.
