thanks a ton chris..picked 'er up friday, she's driving great.. I think I saw you on rt. 1 just as we were on our way there, a black gti/gulf with two fogs in front?

Thanks for the update Chris. I called today and the service rep informed me that he ordered a new inlet hose for the oil. Was it cracked before or did it crack during install of it? Did ya take a second to check out the actual turbo when it was out? How's it look? I have work from 6 am till 3...

Thanks a lot chris... I was lookin around for ya but didn't see you around there... Does the oil feed line look similar? How many hours of labor do you think will get it done? The service writer who I spoke on the phone with said the bolts were all kind of rusty, but I had that exhaust apart...

haha yeah I guess no answer on that question... Well I dropped 'er off today, sounds like chris got into it and it is the oil return line according to the service guy I talked with... 400-500, ouch... The service guy seemed to like to keep mentioning aftermarket parts... I think he said well...

yeah from all I've been reading it sounds like it is that return line.. I'll just nurse 'er up there and bring a fire extinguisher god forbid.. You don't actually have any affiliation with prodrive do you?

My friend has one of like 5 ej50T's ever made and swears by it... I was going to jump on a 40t if they were still around. They seemed like great little turbo packages. Three tools on nasioc, and a bad public relations guy really killed that whole company. Sad, because that turbo really offered...

Yeah the oil is coming from under the turbo so that could be a good bet... I'll be driving her up there with a fire extinguisher just in case, I'm not really worrying about fire though, if it was ok for 2.5 hours on the way up here it'll be fine for a 30 min trip to patriot. I'll be up there...

Yeah I'm giving them a call today to see if I can get over there with you, I will have an extinguisher in the car, and I'll have a relative follow me up.. I understand this can be $$$, I'm hoping it is a split line or something of that nature.

There's almost 79k on the car... I was thinking it was one of the lines to the turbo or the turbo itself. The oil is being spilled on the exhaust manifold/uppipe. I'm 99% sure the pcv valve was changed with the 60 maintenance I did. Thanks for the input guys, I guess I'll give them a call...

Hey guys... I don't post here often but I do lurk a bit. I'm up here every summer working. Last summer I met a few guys on here, iirc Pedro was one of them and got to meet Inski as well at Patriot. Does he still work there? I think I'll be taking a trip/being towed up there soon... Here's the...

Chris I will be back soon...do you recommend any brake pad in particular? Thank you very much for helping me out and dropping working on the pontiac for me so abruptly. I was talking with the service manager and dropped a good word or two. When I come back with the brake pads I will request that...

def second what inski said... the 2.2l NA they used in the late 90's are the most dependable and longest lasting subaru engines out there.

Alright I will be calling prolly next week or the week after that. There is no way I could see spt springs affecting a cv joint or wheel bearing... I'm not wholly sure that's the problem either, it could just need a lil grease/pb blaster somewhere. Thanks for the help guys.

inski you're in the service dept.... what's your real name? I'll prolly be seeing youguys in the next two weeks or so..

bqqst you work there? sales I'd guess? I was plannin on having them look at my cv boot/wheel bearing issue when I get my next oil change... It only makes noise on a hard right turn, not straight or left turns so I didn't feel that it would be urgent enough. You guys are ok with mods? You may...

Hey guys, simple question.... I'm looking for a nice place in south east maine, preferably a subie dealership.I'm hoping to find a place that won't doom me to hell for having modded my car. I had/have a relationship with my dealership in NJ, so they would look the other way for some mods if...
