i thought they did too should have checked tho,my problem with boost is it spikes to around 1bar then drops to .5 bar.should i just change the mbc for a decent one the one on there now is just a bleeder from a fish tank.

ok getting somewhere now i gapped the plugs down turns out they were gapped too big.this sorted out the misfire and premature fuel cut.now another problem has arose when you put your foot down it hits full boost then slowly the boost backs off til it gets to .5bar where it settles. has anyone had th...

i am running ngk platinums.there was once a topic on this forum with a download for diagnostic software,would this help me and where is it.

beleive it or not the boost is restricted to .5 bar and it still fuel cuts. it also backfires when the cut happens.the fuel pressure drops a little nothing much and the lambda locks rich. i have also had the car cut out a few times,today whilst fiddling i found that after removing the washer bottle ...

hi will try gapping plugs.with the boost solenoid i just unplugged the pipes the electrical connector is still connected.is this wrong should i plumb the mbc in with the solenoid.

hi all i have again got a problem with my 91 legacy turbo.i have fitted new coils so thats out of the question,it doesn't show a cel light when the problem occurs. what happens is at 3-4thou rpm it hesitates like a missfire then put your foot down and the car halts and backfires,when this happens th...

hi checked and yes boost should be .9 bar.so thinking i do have a leak especially as the turbo sounds louder than it should,any advice on the best way to find where it could be leaking from.

hi all, my 91 legacy turbo isd performing very badly the acceleration is very poor its ok in first or second after that its rubbish.it gets to 80mph and thats it the gauge shows .5 bar boost but the car just won't pick up anymore.please help. there is no cel light coming on and everything else seems...

hi,
sorry to act stupid but where is the bov and how do you know if it is leaking,and how do you tighten it

everything else is fine the only thing i am worried about is the maf because when i got the car it was fitted with a induction kit and the maf was not secured.also when you start the car from cold it has trouble catching the revs.what i mean is if you rev it a little instead of the revs dropping smo...

hi
i have looked at the pipes but just looking i couldn't see anything that would leak is there a better way of checking than just looking at the pipes.

ok thanks i have plumbed in the standard controller and am getting just shy of .5 bar depending on the gear.however although this is around 8psi i am feeling no difference the turbo is getting up to boost of 8psi quickly but the car accelerates no quicker. whats happening. just been out for a run an...

hi all some of you may remember i used to have a big problem with fuel cut.i took your advise got rid of the saab hybrid turbo and got a standard leggy turbo and bingo no more fuel cut but i am only getting .5 bar of boost.any ideas what could cause this and whats the best way to check pipes for lea...

removed my turbo and its gone big style.loads of play in the bearings and the downpipe is full of oil.

i have the same noise from my turbo.sounds fine on idle but rev it a little and it sounds like the fan is hitting the casing.but i am getting no power and a fair bit of smoke from the exhaust so changing the turbo.let me know what you find.

ok thanks guys going to give it a go.i need to get my car running right as the subaru following in this country is huge and i see loads of subarus going out every weeekend together and i have to just watch them go by.
bac5.2 you said about iac problems what was it with yours and how did you solve it.

is it true you can plug a laptop into a legacy for diagnose purposes if so what do i need and where do i get it.also where in the car would you find the connection.
thanks

just need to get mine running right owned it two months now and never felt full boost.

by the way if your right i will send you the 10bucks

you are exactly right so what do i need to do

if my maf sensor is broken will it cause early fuel cut or similar problems.

hi all, i am in need of the exhaust piece that comes from the back of the turbo on my 92 legacy its a stock turbo vf10 i think could be vf11 anyway looking at the td04 its got the same exhaust shape to it so will an impreza exhaust fit as they are easy to get hold of in wales but legacy parts are not.

HI ALL, just coming home in my legacy all runing fine for about two miles then all of a sudden car stuttered heard the dump valve let out some air then bit of a hill so put foot down just a little and heard a tiny whistle but no power then whistle turned to a grinding noise then lots of smoke.now ca...

does anyone have or know where i can get pics of the standard turbo setup.i am taking off my hybrid and fitting a td04 but i need to gnow how to plumb the standard boost control solenoid back in.
thanks

hi the boost gauge is plumbed into the inlet manifold and the car starts breaking down between four and five thousand revs but above six thousand the car cames back to life.the boost solenoid is disconnected is it worth reconnecting and if so how do i go about this and where would the mbc then fit i...

ok took the car out today and noticed it runs fine when cold the problem only occurs when hot.i am hoping this will mean something to someone as i need to get it sorted.
