I'd go with a bigger turbo unless you are heavily into high level competition autocross or some race series where a larger sized turbo raises minimum weight etc etc. Just my 2 cents though
Total Money Cost to me: $0
Total Time cost: ~4 hours (including driving time to and fro)
Total Gas Cost: ~ 6 gallons of 93
Yes Holy, while I had my suspicions I thought everything was good to go and we'd be ready to roll! However, I always told myself if I tuned before warranty was up I'd...
Here's a nifty trick for gauging power output.
On our cars it tends to be about 10bhp per lb a minute of flow from the turbo on 93.
40 lb per min turbo * 10bhp per lb = ~400bhp on 93
Interesting, do WRC cars really run their exhaust this way??? The rally america Subarus route it above the rear axle (for more ground clearance im guessing) from 2008-2012 :)
The master tech took it home to make sure nothing crazy was gonna happen. So when I get home I'll take pics of the paperwork, but the gist of what went down is I have a new longblock in the car :tup:
Man i must have a knack for timing on these things, got a call today, should get it back tomorrow with a clean sheet of health. Tech is taking it home to put some mileage on it so nothing crazy happens.
Close to the same buying process as a VW, except the following you do NOT have to do:
-Check all electrical circuits front to back
-Make sure interior doesnt smell like a crayon
-Make sure it's not bagged
-Make sure it's not herrafrush (this can still happen to subies but not nearly as often)...
They are taking forever.....should likely call for an update except I know it'll just leave me more confused by whatever the non-technical person tells me
My guess is they did the compression wet already long ago to no avail, because that's what i expected actually on the first go around "compression is fine, now pay us". Really the dealership is screwing themselves as i've put 6k miles on their loaners.....ROAD TRIP!!!
Yea, or they did the work, checked the compression and it was the same, cause I had these calls early to mid last week and havent heard shit yet. I was also under the assumption that if machine work was involved they just replaced with new generally. Regardless I'm not taking the car back...
