vacuum line or coolant, I can't remember

you need that.... try to find someone with a blown one and have them unscrew it and send it to you.

I would also shoot subaruwrxparts.com a PM and see if he can get it.

Alternatively, you can take the one off your TD04, I believe they are the same.

it doesnt look like it screws out it looks to be pressed in.... i dont want to take pliers to it and do any more damage

[Bu11dogg2]

if it's pressed in I hope you got insurance on the shipping

I actually have a spare housing sitting around.

IF, and that's a BIG IF, I can find it you can have the housing for free.

You'll just need to swap housing.

that would be a huge help.... thanks man.... im doing a ton of research to see if it is fixable via screwing in or if it is more complex

thats the line that reads the pressure plumbed back to the boost solenoid... press in line :unamused:

you guys don't want to know how I would fix it.... :hide:

you drill it out and insert a brass nipple, weld.

[ryebread929]

nasioc is telling me to drill and tap it with a new fitting..... but even if i did i wouldnt know what to use for a fitting.

[Bu11dogg2]

1" metal nipple

1" metal nipple

if it boils down to it i will have to..... autozone? and maybe they have a 90 degree like the one that came on it or just get a straight one?

your best bet is to file a claim with the shipping people. Fixing that is a pain in the a## and if you don't drill it right the first time your screwed.

yep, is there a performance shop in your area that deals with turbos/custom work? don't bring it to a muffler shop or anything like that :lol: if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself I would go this route.

and maybe put in a claim with the people who shipped it...

i can drill and tap it myself. if bu11dog cant find the housing there is a kid on nasioc thast has one as well. but i have the tools and ill buy the nipple and worst case ill have it all good to go.

thats bad luck man i know you were waiting for that stuff for a while.

no..... i waited a week for the vf39

ive been waiting 3 MONTHS for my vf52, and still have no idea when ill be getting it!

[shtbxr22]

research a local metal working/welding shop. have them braze it back together. it's not a stressed part, so it shouldn't break again. should be a cheap fix as well.

im just worried that it is so small and the smallest leak can throw off her readings. looks like i just scored a blown vf39 on nasioc for cheap money.

Where did you order your VF52 from? I have them shipping out in 1-2 days!

sorry bud, I have a TD04 :(

I would contact a turbo rebuild company and send them this picture and ask them what you should do. Most of the online turbo rebuild places have very little to do so they are always happy to give some advice.
