roostema4328 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 If you do a search on it. there is a way to hook up the vacuum lines so the turbos run parallel. then it would be free and you wouldnt need a standalone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roostema4328 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) been there lol. I have popped my 2.0TT bottom end and am in the slow process of transplanting a 2.2T block in the 2.0s place. (2.2TT FTW). I have the engine assembled now and waiting to install. but I have to finish remaking the front of the car to fit an STI radiator in. ha ha good luck with yours. the TT is fun if you get it all working. lots of boost. I had mine hit 22lbs and 10K rpms before I popped it,lol Edited July 4, 2011 by roostema4328 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subaruguru Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 it's actually a DL lol started out as a FWD auto DL coupe then it was a 2.2 swapped with GL-10 5 speed 4WD swapped now its the TT 2.0 with an AWD 4eat 4.444 trans, XT6 5 lug swap and XT6 sway bars. OH and i chopped the rood off to make it a brat thanks to Bill (thebeastidrive) for his great fab work. after this years show it will be getting gen 2 brat sheet metal for the bed rails and the Gen 2 brat T top roof grafted in.

roostema4328 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 nice going with the auto. that should be nice. I had a big problem with my big tires and that engine not having enough torque to get of the line without frying the clutch with the 5mt. the auto would certainly help in that department.

roostema4328 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 how is the clearance at the drivers side turbo. will the exhaust miss the steering shaft. I had to drop my column to get mine to work. but I also have a lift. I was wondering if it fits without the lift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruguru Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 it clears the turbo but not the down pipe we found it will be easyer to just move the down pipe over about an inch and it will clear the steering. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subaruguru Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 no wont work for me, thanks though. Good news though the car has steering now for the first time since i started the build the ignition is hooked up and i can start the engine with a turn of a key for the steering we found we could just run the down pipe one inch or so to the passenger side and it will clear the steering... kinda i had to cut 2 inches off of the steering shaft becasue it was too long for the U-joint to clear lower half of the turbo, with it short and a double U-joint cut and extended 6.5 inches the car has steering... WITH A TWIN TURBO!!!!! but now that the steering shaft is shortened i cant slide the U-joint up (not enough splines) so get it in without unbolting the column to slip it on BUT that is a very acceptable trade picks soon Cheers R.

subaruguru Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 so just curious who noticed i have one XT mirror and one normal one i have the matching XT mirror but have not gotten around to mounting it. that is a must before the show lol.

subynut Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Nope, didn't see it. Goes to show you how observant I am. Are you going to run true duels out each side? That would sound interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruguru Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) i plan on having true duels but idk if the exhaust will be done before the show it might just have the down pipes and cats. picked up my seats from storage the other day XT6 goodies :)i traded a set of impeza seats because the XT6 ones sit lower (im 6ft4) Yea the original plan was to have a 3.3 flat 6 but i found a good deal on this engine that is more or less easier to install and sold the EG3.3 to fund this project.
