kebab digested, not true actually it was a chicken in black bean sauce today,
here is Pats take on it.................;)

Timing looks about right, it could just be the mismatch of parts used or just one of those cars, to sort it you will have to port the exhaust housing, don't go mad just add a radius to the the waste-gate throat, not the button, take off any sharp edges with a dremmel, don't make it any bigger just smooth it out a bit.

Pat also says its far more likely on a 2.5 than it is on a 2.0 ltr engine, which is true now I think about it as we have had to port at least 50% of the 2.5 standard turbo charger cars when we have them in for mapping. :(

It does sometimes happen that a certain set of mods don't work together and cause issues like yours, still worth a try with some E 85 and a map tweak though. ;)

cheers
Kev

Ok, thanks for verifying that, Kev.
Maybe a word of warning would be in place for those with a 2.5ltr thinking about these turbos? I mean, it might be a good idea to port the wastegate "just in case" before installing the turbo..maybe even best if it would be done by the dealer. ;)

Should have had it done before installing the turbo in the first place, would have been quite a lot cheaper.... :(

Kev, If this a problem for me too (going on a 2.5) when i come to have it mapped, how long will your chaps need to remove, port and refit?

Hi,
see post 2555, its about a 2.5 to 3 hour turnaround, but lets worry about that when we get to mapping the car, dont loose sleep yours will most likely be fine. :thumb:

Kev, slightly off topic (but I'm 'desperate' LOL)...

16g (or 18g/20g???) ACTUATOR QUESTIONS...???

Does the Impreza's early MY93-96 OEM TD05H 16g's actuator/rod/bracket assembly fit okay on an Impreza-pattern TD05H 20g turbo. I mean the type of 20g with the more "rounded"-type comp. snail (not the Andy.F-style snail with the flat machined area on the front)?

Also, can said OEM 16g actuator's housing be split apart and a higher psi-rated Forge T2 spring substituted for the OEM spring? (I've got the spring).

If so, do you have any suitable w/g actuator/rod/bracket assemblies available to buy (but without being £££-raped! LOL)?

Thanks
