its a brand new MAF from subaru dealer fitted no more than 4 weeks ago, so that must rule that out unless its went faulty in that time. the boost soliniod was not connected to the turbo waste gate pipework, maybe for this reason as its faulty, any way of checking it? mind you when it was connected it gave me an extra 0.1 bar

Hi all Finally got around to fitting the turbo gaugethat i have had for a while, fitted it yesterday along with a sorting rocker cover oil leak that apeared following an engine removal a few weeks ago to renew the cylinderhead gaskets. Anyway back to the point, the gauge(Steering colum Lamco gauge) is only reaching 0.5bar, car is as far as i know standard apart from a scorpion back box and a induction cone connected to the MAF meter box. It was pointed out to me yesterday that the Boost soilinod was not t-eed into the turbo waste gate hose, were i vistited Scottish Subaru to pick one up, it now piped in which gave me a extra 0.1bar so now it reaches a massive 0.6bar Any ideas where my missing ponnies are trotting off too??

not fitted only delivered from camskills http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m4b0s103p1688

Need new black hoops for the wagon to go through a MOT, however a bit strapped for cash at present baby on the way? Its a toss up between A.. TOYO PROXIES T1-R - 215/40/17 @ £66.20 each = £274.78 delivered or B.. YOKOHAMA PARADA 2 - 215/40/17 @ £68.90 each = £285.58 delivered Have proxies on the wagon the now, and had them on my old scooby a few years ago, whats the opinions out there? i do a lot of slow miles through buisness driving.

i seen thsi car when i was looking for my current wagon, just at xmas time in a back street garage next to barlinie prison.

Nice evo there but it would be a RS4 if i had the cash. I could be mistaken but i was lead to beleive the evo's had two clutches that had to be serviced all the time, dont quote me though just something i was told.

What do i do with the pipe i take off? I seen in another forum that the hose from the gauge can be t'd off the smaller hose from the dump valve on the side of the oil intercooler?

Cheers mate but i got one forst thing yesterday morning from scottish subaru. Cheers anyway.

I have picked up a Lamco turbo boost gauge for my car, but it has no fitting instructions. Can any one that has one send me instructions and pics on how to fit and where the tube should be connected too. The gauge comes with 2 cables (Yellow & black) i asume these are the ilumination cables, any help will be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Job done, new cylinderhead gaskets installed following constant overheating. Started yesterday morning 9:30, comp today 4:00pm only hope it works will need to do a test run tommorrow. Its not the first time someone has had the engine out to replace a CH gasket, well i can only add done very badly. One gasket seem to be standart the other was crappy red paper stuff stuck down with what i can only describe as white mastic, i am also releved i ordered up inlet manifold gaskets as they were also red paper stuff again stuck down with mastic. well FINGERS CROSSED it solves my overheating.

Yeah mate i was there first thing this morning, had plenty of them to spare. just did not know if they would be open today being a bank hol so i was trying out the useful folk on here if they had one.

Does any one have the rear(inner) timing belt cover for the near side, doing my cylinder head gaskets today and i had to butcher the cover, who ever had the car before me made an a*** and over tightened the pully wheels to the rocker and i could only get the head off if i butchered the plastic cover, i.e pulleys and rocker came of together. Part number is 13575AA103 If any one can help let me know if possible need it for tommorow. May also be looking for both pulleys and spindles for same side that can be separated from each other. Cheers

my maf went on my 99 wagon lastweek, i tried unpluging it and made no difference, i could start my car with maf unplugged.

Well i thought while i had the inlet manifold striped off i better renew these gaskets as well as there can tare, had a problem with these on my last scooby when i removed the manifold, so i thought if i have them there if i need them i have no down time on the swap over. cheers

how did or were you get the head gasket test done, i have the exact same problem, however i have re-newed rad, collant and thermostat which results in the same problem overheating, was ordering new head gaskets along with inlet manifold gaskets today but i missed the dealer planning on doing it tommorow.

ok drained the system and refilled, bubbles are instant in the expansion bottle, i read above that this was a good sign oh head gaskets gone. Also when i drained the system i stuck my nose in the header tank to see if i could smell oil, no oil smell however there was a strong wiff of petrol? i flushed the engine block and rad with a hose, both were running clear with no s**t flowing out so i would rule out a blockage. Any one add anything else to try or should i just order up the new gaskets? called my local dealer not that big a shock on cost i was plesantly suprised at £49.98 each for CH gasket and £7.18 each for inlet manifold gasket oh and of course the VAT has still to be added by them.

mint car, very jelous

lovely car, very jealous.

is it posbile to renew these with the engine still in place, any one tried it.

is it possible to change them with out taking the engine out? anyone tried it?

forgot to add it was metalic silver, anyway before i traded it in it had a new STI Uprated engine, new turbo, and new suspension struts fitted before i traded it in.

Any airdrie scooby driver have a 98 s-reg uk turbo, with black leather and sun roof, reg No S*** LST, may have had a dent in the drivers door when you bought it. Just wondering out of interest as i had it approx 4 yrs ago and trader it in for a new freelander. as i was haveing major problems with the scoob. I use to work in airdrie just a little over 2 years ago and i seen it drive about a few times in the town. cheers

could be something very simole like a stone inbetween the disk and heat sheild, when you reverse it normally shifts it, and bingo no more whine. hope thats all it is for you

top notch
