non turbo clutch setup to turbo - bleeding issues
i think my donor car was non turbo ... and i have now fitted turbo engine .
only parts from non turbo are clutch pedal and clutch master
engine / clutch / clutch slave is all from turbo car
now i am having issues bleeding / getting clutch
basically i got all air out ( i think) but the pedal does not do anything at slave until half way down
what have i missed ? is there anything in between clutch arm and rod that goes into slave ?

You've answered your own question
It's essential that the spring is in place for bleeding the system in order to allow free play between the push rod and fork arm. without any free play the push rod never fully returns so the master cylinder cannot recouperate

Assuming your clutch is the same as a classic Impreza, I don't have the spring on my car and it works fine. To bleed, remove the slave cylinder, turn upside down so the nipple is to the top. Use a G clamp to hold the piston in and bleed like that. might not be the best way to do it but worked fine for me
