scotty nm35 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I have a few but none fit down (or up) there properly. I can do it in a minute or two now with my cut down 22mm open end spanner though. I fitted Whiteline diff bushes in my car today, quite cheap to buy too. It made one hell of a difference too, all the axle tramp is gone and it chirps nicely between gears again, it really tightened the whole back end. My original rear diff bush was totally flogged and was leaking oil.

scotty nm35 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 With a bush core, yes. I would have drilled it to no more than 1.5mm for the stock turbo personally.

Duncan Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 well on the bright side it will be a good test of banjo sizing. symptom 1 of too much oil to the turbo will be burning oil at full boost (grey/white smoke) symptom 2 of too much oil to the turbo is the turbo seal blowing. If neither of those happen, it's not too large 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/348629-what-have-you-done-to-your-stagea-lately/page/314/#findComment-6860006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty nm35 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 The stock Garrett core will have a restrictor built in so it shouldn't pose too much risk, that said the VQ runs stupidly high oil pressure, I have seen 10 bar on my gauge which I think is it's limit...

andy65b Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I wonder if that had something to do with my issue? Stao told me to drill mine to 4mm. That seems very large. I did mine with 3mm (think that is what is was, was more like find drill bit to drill after 10 hours under the car changing turbo). I agree with scott, 2.5mm max.

John from Precision recommended I drill mine to 4mm; so I did. No issues with mine. Oh joy. Replaced another AFM. FML. I popped my new genuine Nissan one after about a month; failed just as the car started. I bought a WRX one the 2nd time. It seems to be going fine. It fits about 4 billion different models, so at least they're easy to get.

Brick Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Shifting is definitely faster and I actually think smoother. I havent driven it alot yet but we stalled it up and even with the fun switch off the boost is coming on much stronger. Will see how it goes after I drive it a bit. Still have a random stalling issue but hopefully will get that sorted soon.
