Just a heads up on this guys...

somebody needs to buy this up

I could get a used engine for the price of replacing a headgasket at a shop

PJ

I blew a coolant line after installing my WRX IC. Now after fixing it my car seems to heat up pretty quick and not cool down. I do see some bubbles in the coolant resevoir also.

Did I blow my head gasket?

Thanks

Please help?

I need help w/ my WRX IC install?? Can't figure out the best way to connect the turbo to the IC?? w/o too many bends. The damn turbo is clocked at a weird angle??

HELP??

I need pictures of everyone's WRX IC install... I can't figure out how to connect mine w/o too many kinks in the line. I got rid of the turbo chimney but now I need to figure out the IC to turbo still. Tried my modified Y-pipe tonight but it still didn't work? Any suggestions?? Any pics of everyone'...

I once again tried to fit My WRX IC. I kept ending up about 1/4" too high still. finally got it to drop down far enough and now I need to connect the IC to the turbo. What kind of flexible hose did you use? I may go this route since the OEM Y-pipe sits a little lower than the turbo outlet? any ...

So "IF" I just discharge the system myself. Do I just unbolt the the AC line near the firewall?

How do I discharge my A/C? I got a N/A AC line and I plan on putting my WRX IC in soon. Just trying to figure out how to unbolt and discharge the system?? I know I'm supposed to have it professionally done but that's gonna cost me money correct?

thanks

PJ

Did you have to pay to have your system discharged and recharged again? I'm gonna pick up a N/A line today or tomorrow. I'll let you know thanks for the info

PJ

Has anybody put a NA A/C line in place of the legacy turbo line? I am looking at doing this so I don't need to lose my A/C.

PJ

Put your BOV bypass hose back on and plug it back into the rubber intake elbow where you attached you new intake.. This way you are still running a Bypass valve for the air to recirculate back into the turbo( I think that is right). My Saab IC setup works pretty well besides the ghetto rigged IC pip...

What hood scoop is that and where did you get your legacy Stencil? It looks good. Did you get rid of the AC?

PJ

Check Ebay for WRX ICs.. I just saw two yesterday on there. I fit my Saab one but I'm gonna try and fit my WRX IC for the Rallycross this weekend. Good luck

PJ

Jim,

Thanks for the pics. The setup you have looks awesome.

Legacy punk. Could you send some pics to my email?

Looks like I may be busy this weekend.


Thanks in advance.

Legacy Punk, please send pics when you have them. I'm trying to figure out if I want to take out my AC for a WRX IC. I am really interested in your IC pipe setup because of the lack of space in there and how the Turbo is clocked at an awkward angle. I fit my Saab IC but it is kind of ghetto rigged. ...

Did you remove your AC? Please post pics soon. I may end up getting the Version 2 WRX IC but if I can make this one work I may use it. Please email pics to my address when you have them. thanks in advance. I just installed my Saab IC and I'm waiting for a version 2 WRX IC. I don't want to lose my AC...

Well I matched up some WRX sideskirts to my 91 legacy turbo tonight and they are about an inch 1 1/2" too short. I had this same problem w/ my GF8 Wagon when I got some other previously owned WRX sideskirts. They were exactly the same length too short. so it looks as if the GC/GF sideskirts wou...

I'm fitting my 45 deg silicone tube this week. trying to figure out how to get the Turbo outlet to fit the silicone tube since it about 1.5" and the Saab IC outlet is 2.25", then to figure out the joint for the Bypass valve/DV valve whatever it is? Any suggestions turbo gurus? Putting in a...

Fred, Did you redo the lines to the coolant tank also? Do you have any pics? If so please email them to me because I'm installing mine this week to get it up an running w/ my saab IC. Then I'm gonna try and refit my WRX intercooler. Thanks for the confirmation of the WRX coolant tank Please send pic...

Did you keep your AC? I'm gonna try the hose I got today w/ one of the IC ports blocked off. Would you mind taking a picture of you IC installed and emailing me a picture? I would like to see how the Perrin hoses fit? I just think the passenger IC port will hit my AC line. I found out we can run the...

Were you able to fit the entire WRX IC in there w/ both IC outlet pipes. I'm gonna try and fit mine w/ only one IC outlet(Drivers side) and see if I can have an exhaust shop make a piece to cover up the other outlet. I looked at my WRX coolant tank. I don't know how its gonna fit but it has all the ...

I tried to fit both of my intercoolers today(Saab 900/ WRX IC) I actually got the WRX intercooler to fit in the engine bay. I haven't closed the hood yet. I didn't even get rid of the A/C. I'm gonna see if I can have one of the intercooler ports(Near the A/C side) covered up and blocked and use just...

I am looking into purchasing a catless downpipe that also replaces the midpipe, then just going to a custom catback from there. any suggestions?

PJ

I have my OEM exhaust from my WRX sitting in my garage and I was wondering if I would see any gains? It is almost the same size actually. Just wondering if anybody has put an OEM exhaust on their turbo legacy

PJ

ARe there any performance gains from putting a WRX turboback on our cars? I thought the pipes were the same size for the legacy turbo? Please help
