The TT system is overly complicated and majorly flawed. Even when everything is in 100% working order, they still drive like shit.
I have a bucket full of VF13/14 etc that have come off TT's that have been converted back to single. If you need a good second hand turbo let me know. If you want someone to problem solve a spaghetti of crispy 15 year old vacuum tubing, rusted actuators, solenoids and wiring loom you will need deep pockets.

I find they're quite nice cars to drive, the system appears complicated, but with the correct tools and information can be relatively easy to diagnose. You should bring it in to us at Subaru Wangara. It may be something as simple as a broken linkage on one of the valves.

everywhere I research they are converting to single turbo. It seems like a smart option but I truely am unsure. I want to modify this engine a lot when I start my apprenticeship.
I dont think this cars vacuum turbing and what not will be too bad, a lot of the cars lines/tubing have been replaced with aftermarket stuff, the car was imported by Hanson (so I have been told) and he modified it quite a lot.
but cheers, if I need a turbo I will speak to you : )
So drally do you work at STechnic?

John so you work at Subaru Wangara? I have been thinking about getting some work experience and I was considering ringing up Subaru Wangara and asking....
okay true true : ) Will you guys have parts for a imported Subaru though?

johnvk7 01-06-2011 09:38 AM

Would need to find out whats wrong with it first, if the primary turbo isn't boosting then I can't see how it would make any boost at all, also when lines are replaced, chances are the restrictor pills are now missing.
The system is the same as a B4 Liberty sold over here.
Ring service and ask to speak to the manager regarding work exp.

haha I don't know what happened there : /

Strubaru 01-06-2011 01:23 PM

do a google search regarding the restrictor pills, this will affect boost levels on tt engines, like john said if the system has new hoses chances are the restrictor pills have been turfed with the old vac lines
