Ebay intercoolers are actually pretty good. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUBARU-WRX-Top-mount-02-07-STI-Intercooler-Y-Pipe-Kit-/380303780848?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item588bdf2bf0&vxp=mtr

Cool, good to know! I'll have to check it in the morning. Thanks!

How much? Also, where is Jefferson?

Just a regular, OEM, USDM hood scoop for a bugeye... Anyone?

I'd have to be leaking coolant for it to get low right? Or does it just get consumed..? As far as I can tell there is no leak, unless it's dreadfully, painfully slow.

It's been working normally ever since that one time. The fans worked, it was just cold air. The motor wasn't overheating, and it was running for over half an hour. The head gaskets and everything are new as of 12 k miles ago. I'll check the coolant once I can.

Just 3!? haha it seems like it's a pretty fun turbo to have. It just seems that not a lot of people are using it or have used it.

I didn't see this until just now.. To get the TD04-19T, you have to send in the stock TD04 to Blouch and they rebuild it with different internals and throw a little witch craft in there, and then you come out with a 19T. On NASIOC, they said it cost 350 for the rebuild, and a couple guys...

Realistically, by the time I get to do this, it won't be a daily anymore. I was hoping to do the upgrade in two or three years, but figured I should do my research and have some sort of a plan in place long before that. I definitely want to keep it reliable, even if it's no longer my daily, but...

...But then, it started working again. On my way to work yesterday, I had no heat. It wasn't even warm coming from the vents. After work, on my way home, there was heat again! It seemed to take longer than usual to blow heat, though. Maybe it just seemed like longer because I was quite frigid...

You mean that, like, day and a half?

No sir. I have a phase 2, 2.2l. Bought it brand new from the dealer, it now has about 12k miles on it. They made me choose a specific car, so according to them it's from a 1998 impreza. I got a solid tune for it from Kinetic after the break in period. It runs awesome and the tuner said I'm...

Obviously, I would like to get my hands on a scoop that will fit my bugeye.  Anyone in the Bangor area have one?

Welcome! Should have kept the bugeye but your current rides are nice!

Oh, I see what you mean. You're not worried about the torque, you're worried about the torque hitting fast.. That's a good point. It would definitely be going down to Kinetic for a solid tune. Are you worried that it's an N/A block rather than the 2.0 turbo block or just that it's not built...

I don't plan on abusing it... When I had the work done, Meyagi said he's been running a VF39 on the same 2.2 block. His was used, mine is new, so I have an advantage there. He has it in his Ken Block car, so he's been beating on it for about 3 years, he told me. I definitely don't want to push...

I like bowling!

I was going to do a VF39, but then I saw the Dyno results of a TD04 19T. It spools way faster than the VF39 and I can still hit my power goals close to 300 whp. There's lots more info on Nasioc and examples of the VF39, but the 19T sounds way cool. Not to mention it seems a bit cheaper. This...

So, I've been thinking of upgrading my turbo pretty much since I got the car back from Mike. He recommended the VF39, and I know it's fairly common to do so. In my research, I stumbled across some info on a TD04 19T. Does any one have any experience with this set up? There's info on Nasioc, but...
