Hey,

I have two questions, I was working on a grounding kit the other day and ended up with a broken nipple on the coolant tank. I bought a wrx coolant tank and went to install it today. I was unsure of where to mount it, so I kept it in the same location, but I am not sure what to do about securing it. Also, I hooked up all the coolant lines, which I believe I did right, but they nipples are in different locations on the tank. Does anyone have a diagram of which lines go where just to double check?

Also, someone apparently broke nipple on the vacuum canister on the passenger side behind the headlights. It has 3 nipples and the one closest to the fender was glued back together, but the glue is letting go. I was having a stalling problem before this, and this might have something to do with it.

I want to replace the canister, but I don't know of any turbo subaru's in junkyards, will any n/a canisters work?

Ya the N/A has the same Canister.

The coolant tank on my car I mounted like that there is another thread with the coolant tank setup similar to mine.



Pretty simple. Just the lower hose isn't long enough so you need to buy a 1ft length and cut it to size to mount it where mine is. Now you know the hose from the turbo is in a U cut it so its like mine and thats it, grab a few tie wraps and its a good idea if you jam some heater hose or any rubber really between contact points. Tie wraps won't melt.

Looks like the same routing that I went with. I did get the lower hose to fit, but it is leaking, I need to put a regular hose clamp on it, and (or) just get a longer hose.

Did you use your original cap or the wrx one?

Original the wrx has 2 rad caps remember. While our car's only have 1. So if you run the 1.1 bar technically it should work, but realistically 0 bar will work. I would feel safer with the stock .9 bar.

Bottom line use the stock 0.9bar cap!

search works good

there are other options too like at the abs pump or where the ac compressor used to be.

The search does look good, I saw that post. I wanted to see something different for when I do my intercooler install in the next week. Oh, and being that guy who posts," try searching, or you didn't search hard enough", should just keep his comments to himself. I have been lurking for he last 8 months doing searches.

Hey i just did the wrx coolent tank in my turbo legacy with a top mount . here is the link to my post . take a look and let me know what you think !

I have tried searching and this is the only post I could find that is what I am looking for, yet with no definitive answers. Has anyone installed the WRX coolant tank in the STOCK location, and successfully installed the 06/07 TMIC with it there?

Yes I did

Fit fine but I would have liked a bit more room, I think I could have mounted the tank even higher and sit the bottom of the wrx tank ontop of the a/c line so it would sit farther away. Just might need to cut off the mount on the bottom off the tank.

Nice install!

just wondering,dont want to hyjack the thread..but what bpv is that?

vdub yo.

Don't use clear tubing btw it looks nice but swells.

It worked well, but I want to go AWIC and stock turbo. I don't need crazy power stage 2 was plenty fast. Stock turbo at 13psi is just fine for me. I want to see how it runs using the revtronix chip but they are away so my order is pending

haha niice!

is the sound any different?

Nope quiet unless you have leaks of course Or you remove the resonators.
