Well, I know that Superrallyroo's 83 T-wagon has manual windows, but I'm also pretty sure that power windows were part of the Turbo-10 package which also included including (but not limited to) Digi-dash, sunroof, power mirrors and power windows. Superrallyroo's car also has the gold emblems, but I'm not sure about the oil cooler (however I assume it has one). His car has an analog dash, but it has the boost gauge while my Digi-dash has the turbo light. The boost gauge replaces the volt meter on the turbo cars at least in the US. Hope this helps some. On a side note, we EA81T owners need to stick together as our cars are getting old and hard to find parts for.

Well, I found the leaky hose, but I can't get at it right now. It is below the turbine housing. I'm pretty sure its the hose with the insulation on it. Pics to come...

They also had different gear ratios in the auto tranny, the oil cooler and the front "spoiler".

Bowwow in Seattle sells them. There are about 3 other places that I know sell them, but the names don't come to mind right now.

SkankinPickle, can we see pics of the spoiler on your hatch and wagon?

I had that same hose go bad in the same spot. I just cut out the bad spot. I think the leak is closer to the turbo its self this time judging on where the steam was coming from. I'm about to go snoop around under the hood. I'll report anything suspicious taht I find. Well, 14 minutes later and nothing looks out of the ordinary. I did move the spare tire to the hatch so I can see what is steaming next time I drive it.

My badges are all gold except the front one, but it has a 3rd eye now so that makes up for it. Also my car has the Turbo-10 pagkage. I want those headlight washers!!!

Consider it sold!

Lets see a pic of the hatch spoiler!

Do you have a pic of your hose and where is went bad?

S'ko, could you get a larger version of that pic, and Soobmater, can you do the same for your avitar?

They only made the EA81T for two years, so if what you're saying is correct (That not all the turbos had the oil cooler) then it must be safe to assume that it was installed as part of the turbo upgrade (When they had a recall to install the water cooled turbos). Sound feasable? What other differences can you think of? The only other difference I can think of is that the gear ratios in the auto tranny are different from all the other non-turbo automatics. By the way, TheMixToo what year is your brat? And does your rear bumper have gold trim like the front one?

My thoughts exactly...

Well, the trip up to Bellingham went fine, but when I pulled off to drop my friend off, I smelled coolant. I figured it would be fine. Well the next day I had to drive about 20 blocks to the grocery store. Long story short, there is steam coming from the turbo area, but I still have all the heat sheilds and spare tire in there, no tools, no place to work, and nothing to carry water in. Hopefully my friends uncle who owns a shop will look at it for free and tell me what I need to fix. I just don't have the time to fix my car up here. GRrrrrrr!!!

I love the little touches on the turbos. Like the lower, stiffer suspension!

Are you sure? NM, just thought about it and you're right.

No, it won't fit very well, if at all.

Yes, the starter is mounted on the tranny facing the engine.

Oh, I've done axles before, and in WAY less than 45 minutes. I just feel like whining. You wouldn't happen to have any spare auto axles would you?

Well after having a lot of trouble with my waterpump and finding a suitable replacement (Thanks Shawn!), my wagon needs more work. The boot on my passenger side front axle ripped open for some reason and spewed grease all over the turbo and underside of the car. I'd rather replace the whole thing than mess with a potentially bad axle. And it was behaving so well recently...

Tizzle, I saw you getting off the freeway in Mt Vernon on Friday! I was freaking out trying to figure out whos RX that was!

It will be weaker. Don't ask by how much, I don't want to look it up and calculate it. I would look into the price of a custom bent bar.

The Enkei wheels on my car weigh 8lbs a peice, how much do the Premeirs weigh?

I really have no idea what parts to use inside, but subaru never made an EJ20DET. They did make an EJ20XX however.
