Apparently, instead of fixing it, the first body shop just elongated the bolt holes on the struts, and tried to pull everything into place. No wonder my camber was always off! Anyways, the crack followed the top seam where the hole for the axle meets with the body of the knuckle causing it to always have a lot of positive camber. None of the shops that did my alignment ever said anything, and because of that shop cutting corners, a small bump into the curb extended the crack so bad that my rear wheel ended up looking kinda like this: . (I know that's a Neon, but I had to share that picture.)

Just search the classifieds for a part out and buy that sides whole assemble ( knuckle, a-arm / the whole setup). If the knuckle is dent there are more parts that are more than likely bent also. |

So I broke the oil feed line to my turbo during the install. Its a vf39 om my 04 2.o wrx block. I'm trying to find a steel braided line fir that turbo can anyone help? I see the one from rallysport ( http://www.rallysportdirect.com/Blou...-Oil-Feed-Line) but that one says its for the Blouch turbo's. If any one has used that on a Vf series turbo let me know. I just don't wana shell out 60$ on a part that wont work. So if some one can shed some light on this ill love you forever. ?

Today, nothing. Tuesday went to IAG for the first time for maintenance. Two thumbs way up - great service, met some cool people. It was a good day off.

Haha yeah I know right. When I was talking to Mach v they said they wouldn't."custom" make one to work with my banjobolt and specific turbo. And not wanting to take the risk, I called IAG and they said they have a Vf laying arround and they could make one specificly for the vf39. Same price. So buy one that has a 50% of not fitting/working right, or pay the same for something the fit to my spesific model, yeah that got my vote. Quote:

Single, I spent like 5 months doing my homework on all this and ended up deciding that twin scroll was silly expensive. Still haven't figured out why.

Might be in over my head, never done a turbo before. Oh well, should at least be entertaining to observe. |
