okay so far.....

Im going the highflow way..

though..i might check the pipings and everylike that 2nite..

currently i can hear a loud electronic fan thingy spinning when the boost comes in but no boost at all

but the car still revs out

so im guessing the front pellers are gone and the rear are still intact to let air through

While I'm S1 on stock boost I encountered a similar sounding loss of power after doing some topside work. I thought "turbo", so got a s/h in vgc for $450. When I pulled it apart it was a dislodged intake pipe right at the turbo. I also had broken mannifold studs so they got fixed. Now have a spare turbo(stock)

On the point of weakness in the RB, I think mannifold studs would be No 1.

woot turbo is out today

rear pellers are gone

bits missing out of it but still intact

the front doesnt spin freely it needs to be forced to spin.. the shaft has probably collapsed

looks like i was right lol

new turbo time!!

bloody bitch of a job to get the turbo out though..

    • No not yet.  Hopefully this weekend if I can pluck up the confidence!  I had to sit in the car at one point yesterday to unbolt the rear struts.  As mentioned in an earlier post when I was putting it together there is still a bit of rotation possible so when I sat in the car, it rotated a little bit.  I near shit myself thinking the whole thing was coming down!  I do 99% of my own shit in the shed but I think I might call on some assistance the first time I spin it!
    • Strong first post. On a Skyline-centric forum. Have you considered actually going out into the world, visiting the actual dealership, and asking the parts guy over the counter? Or at least just call them up on the phone?
    • Should shit that in as for the driver ability probably not
    • Trying to find the plastic under cover for an 04' Forester X. The main under cover that covers most of the front of the vehicle under the engine. This has turned out to be a crazy experience. Normally I can find parts for vehicles, if I have the correct info, no problem. But not this! The Forester is a non-turbo btw. In a Forester parts catalog, for model years 03'-06', it shows part# 56410SA070 as being the correct part. So I go to the local Subaru dealership's website to order it. I type in the part#, hit search and there it is, the under cover. "DOES THIS PART FIT YOUR VEHICLE?" I type in my VIN# and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle. See Similar Parts For Your Vehicle." I click on that and part# 56410SA000 comes up. Looks absolutely nothing like the previous part. Not even close. So I go to a different Subaru dealer website and put in that 2nd part# (56410SA000) and "This Part Has Been Replaced By" 56410SA070, which is the first part I looked up. I thought OK, makes sense. They replaced the strange looking part, with the one I looked up first, so I add it to the cart. "Does This Part Fit Your Vehicle?" I type in my VIN#, and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle." I've basically been doing this with various parts suppliers and dealerships, for the past 4 hours! Does anyone know what the hell is going on?? Thanks in advance!
