Bought the same dump pipe for mine as it’s same model and year, only issue was mine can’t fit due to my forester being a right hand drive, meaning the steering linkage blocks the ability to fit this upsized dump. Truely gutting. Can’t be done on the right hand drive models, there’s a seperate company that understood this issue here in nz, and they make a slightly smalller version of the pipe, but god damn it sounds no where near as good :(
Primeran! ikusgarria da. Now, all that power under bonnet is going to demand a good lubrication or shorten oil change intervals to avoid oil degradation and future damage to the engine and turbo. An oil with the highest viscosity index will provide thermal stability to lubrication avoiding carbons formations. As comment, if you are using an xW30 oil you can consider Pennzoil Platinum Euro LX 0W30. It has a very high viscosity index 204, in Europe it's sold as Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0W30, same Technical Data Sheet (TDS/PDS), same chemistry formulation. Give you a time to know your car on the road with this improvement and I'm looking forward to see the second part. Ondo izan,

hi! just found your awesome subie vids! i've not found the answer to this but how long does a typical 2liter 4 cyl turbo last in miles? 100k? 80k? under normal mixed driving... no track nor off roading. Thx!!!
Thanks for the video! This is one of the best ones I've seen as I'm gearing up for VF48 upgrade. Did you drain all coolant before doing this? Not much came out when you put the pan underneath to catch it. Also noticed you detached the oil drain tube underneath the turbo from the block - genius!
Question, I have an sg5 and got a 20g turbo to install and a 255 walbro fuel pump, should I go more like the one you picked? I have an sti swap but didn’t get a tune yet waiting to put it all together
I should have mentioned that in the video, but if you hold the gas to the floor while cranking it puts the car in clear flood mode and cuts fuel and ignition.

Ahhh ok recirculating into your downpipe? and if so, did you have to modify your downpipe or did you buy it as a kit with the up pipe? I'm doing the same project on a forester too and already bought a SARD downpipe as well as other stuff. don't have the headers and up pipe yet though...I'd rather recirculate it too because I wont feel right dumping into atmosphere but just tryna figure out if i screwed up by buying a downpipe before figuring out my actual set up :/ Thanks AJ A.
DAMN!!! That is one clean XT Foz!!! Cheers!!!
alright alright, you're twisting my arm. I'll turbo up my foz. I'm upgrading the suspension tomorrow. should be a great improvement.
Cool set up, love those gauges.
Nice I was waiting to see what you had ordered after your teaser video! You should seriously do a walk around video and some exhaust clips

Sounded like your timing tensioner is was knocking a bit after starting.

Ondo izan,
Thanks man! I run Shell Rotella T6 in the car now, I've been pretty happy with it so far!

Ondo ibili,
Use a lighter or heat gun on intercooler piping to turbo for easier install:)
I think it was more of an issue of cutting, testing, and cutting more on the universal hose to fit that presented the pain. :)
Hey, any chance you can plug the links of where you got all the products from? :)
Whould like to see video on your air intake
Subaru installs turbo silencers on the passenger side fender, remove this turbo silencer and you’ll hear a lot more turbo
Don’t you need both clamps for the turbo drain hose?
How do you get cranking without starting it? Do you pull the fuse for the injectors? If so is there any risk of fouling the spark plugs?
amazing all you have to buy and install for a frigin turbo wow
Where did you get such a clean car? Was it your grandmas? For real though lol, that tan interior is miiint and that engine bay is spotless!!

Thanks! It really just depends how you take care of it, maintenance and how you drive it.
We have examples in sweden running 300k kilometers. Close to 190k miles.

You don't need to drain all of it, just enough to get the level below the turbo. Not much came out because I didn't open the petcock up very much.
Question, I have an sg5 and got a 20g turbo to install and a 255 walbro fuel pump, should I go more like the one you picked? I have an sti swap but didn’t get a tune yet waiting to put it all together
Do you still have the turbo you removed??
Cool! Pretty much my exact setup.
Now I just need some driver mod to go with it! lol
What power gains did you make with this?
what exhaust is that? great video please make more!
Thanks! It's an Invidia G200 with an Invidia equal length header.
Just a Wagon .. i got a cobb downpipe and g200 (04 fxt), but it was waaaaaaaaay too loud! how is yours quiet??
i know i am late to the party here, But im trying to do the same to my fxt 09 limited but i want to get the trans built up. Any ideas on good kits?
did you pull a fuse to crank it over without starting?
I should have mentioned that in the video, but if you hold the gas to the floor while cranking it puts the car in clear flood mode and cuts fuel and ignition.

Just a Wagon it’s that only for xt models?
yuss!
How much power are you looking to make with this new turbo? 400-430whp?
Something like that. :)
Very cool. Good luck with it.
dude love your car what was your old turbo?
Thanks man! I was running a VF48.
Just a Wagon oh dang right now i have a tdo4 with a billet kit in it lol
Plz plz fix all the gauges so it sits right. They are all crooked. It's driving me mad lol
They're driver oriented :)
Just a Wagon that's what I figured
i gotta say I can't wait to see that toaster hall ass and see what kind of cars its gonna take down in the roll races :)
Me too! First roll race is next month!
what type of radiator is installed? i own a subu forester 2000 turbo and my overflow tank keeps spilling out water.
You might have the wrong cap on it.
He put those studs in the wrong way you’re supposed to be the opposite way
how did you prime the turbo without the car starting?
Hold the gas pedal to the floor.
Were you running the VF39?
Ryan P. VF48
Are you in Omaha?
Do you have a build thread on subaruforester.org?
www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f115/matt-s-06-fxt-273514/
How's the car going now?
I haven't seen the car in about 7 months now, but it's still alive. Can't wait to get back to it!
hello! why you use this yellow bottle? for what?
Timetunechi To bleed the cooling system.
400+whp on a 5 speed????
Pray for my trans! :0
And I thought 300hp on my Fxt was pushing it :o
350 is really pushing it. 300 is the sweet spot = D
I did not hear any turbo noises.
what gauge pods are you running
Darren Ankrah BNA Solutions on top, Subtle Solutions on bottom.
What muffler is tha? Can i get the part number please
It's an Invidia G200.
How do you prime a turbo?
Jonathan Montoya Hold throttle to the floor to cut the injectors and crank a few times.
venting to atmosphere?
Full recirc.

Ooooh, I thought you were talking about the BPV. My wastegate is VTA, dump tube under downpipe.
sounds like a honda!!
If ur looking 4 the whistle go 100% catless
Gauge pod from?
