Im looking for the best way to prime my td05 16g turbo.Its off the car and at the minute all ive done is bunged a cap on the end of the drain hose and put oil in the top to lube it up.

ianbott

Just unplug the crank sensor and crank the engine till it circulates oil. Alternatively remove the oil drain pipe, crank engine and allow some oil to be flushed through.

And can the oil drain pipe be installed easily enough with the turbo installed

ScottyPPP

Don't go anywhere near the drain pipe, it's one hell of a pain in the **** to get back in.

Just unplug the crank sensor, crank it until the pressure light goes out and you're done.

is it a proper subaru 16g or an ebay one just out of curiosity? Mine was primed using disconnect crank sensor method and has been working fine.

Its a proper td05 16g.With my td04 I just disconnected my crank sensor and did it that way but the td04 I bought for peanuts this td05 set me back a few hundred quid so im being careful .Everyone seems to be after a td05 these days

they are a cracking job, my ebay super china number one turbo supplier uk stock manufacturer racing power one has stood up well to the occasional spirited jaunt around the countryside with the antilag on so can only imaging a real one will be tough as old boots!

bludgod

yeh I know I emailed you back yes launch control on demand using rear defroster switch when I'm running the carberry rom. But in the cold weather I'm running my trusty MAF rom rather then spend time dialing in the cold weather compensations.
