i will be wanting to delete these on my car-what exactly do i need?

54 plate wrx blobeye

 

Hacksaw , die grinder or drill , rotary burr or small sanding wheel
Somthing to fill the holes , either drill and tap and put a bolt in or weld em up ( preferable )
If you can wait till after Christmas and do without you're car for a week ( max ) and can get em to me I'll weld em up and do em for you

Here's mine I did
Cheers tony

 

cheers for the offer but i think i will just use a sti manifold for this as i cant be without my car really

No probs , why did you want tgv deletes if youve got an Sti inlet

 

ive not got an sti inlet matey so i will keep my eyes open for 1

 

Ah I see , I was gonna get a spare set of tgvs and do em , then offer em on an exchange basis , ( just ask for postage )
Sort of a favour for a favour scooby net scheme ?

 

hhmmm its tempting,one reason for using an sti manifold is ive been told its better than a wrx-whether its true or not im not sure

how much do the tgv things cost?

 

IMHO the expensive for what they are , but I would say that lol

 

i will have a think matey,no rush as its gonna be feb time for all this anyway

 

Just read it again , I guess you mean how much are a standard set of s/h tgvs
Stock ones can be had cheap
If anyone's reading and got a spare stock set I'll mod em and we could get the ball rolling
Just pay postage and I will do em for s/n members on an exchange basis

 

Ive got a set off an o4 wrx somewhere, tone.

 

anybody know what this air pump thing that ive heard of is aswell? will that need deleting too?

 

Are all new age tgv housings the same ?
Bug /blob

If shrekster or any others Wish to contact you regarding them , I'm more than happy to mod them for him , and if he sends me his old ones ( when he fits the modded ones ) I can mod them and pass em on we only need one set to keep in stock so folk havnt got to keep their car of the road while waiting

 

As far as i know they are yes as all the manifolds are interchangable so cant see a reason why not, I`ll dig them out tomorrow as i`m off work now until the new year

Be easier if i sent my set to you if anyone is interested in them to save on additional postage, timescale etc..

 

[QUO[/QUOTE]Nice one
I thought they were , but not 100%

Yeah can do , I'll mod em and anyone wanting a modded set can send their old ones
In exchange , and we're off

No doubt I'll probably upset someone somewhere offering free tgv deletes lol

 

What about the sensors? I was under the impression that removing these would throw a cel?

 

It will , just turn it off in the map

I have a spare bug set I'm after modding, I was going to fill them with epoxy resin, but once I have a modded set fitted the old ones will be surplus

Sticking bolts in and resin is a common way , personally I'd rather have em welded , if you take em to a local shop they shouldn't charge more than a few quid , then it's as proper as you can get
Or get em to me and I'll do em for you
After cristmas

 

I've a mate who's tried to weld them with no joy so I'm getting them back off him in January. If you're happy I'll get them to you once I have them back. PM me an address and I'll get them off when they're back

 

Yeah no probs , don't know why anyone would struggle welding em ( aluminium tig )
Can weld a pair in ten minits

 

What do you gain by doing this on a wrx,does it need a map tweak after fitting?

 

On it's own, not a great deal but with a series of other mods a couple of BHP plus one less set of sensors to go wrong. I'm adding a VF34 turbo to my ported headers and FMIC and I'll probably mildly port my inlet too. The benefits will be realized on the remap

 

Afaik there is not a great deal to be gained , some say 10bhp ish , others say no difference
As for map tweak , if you're having you're cel switched of it wouldn't hurt
I had to delete mine because the map I run doesn't support tgv operation

 

Are you gonna reverse manifold while you're at it
Best mod I've done so far , makes life so easy

 

I doubt it, I don't need to for the power I'm after and the hassle of re-routing the FMIC pipework and flipping the alternator doesn't provide enough benefits

 

It does seem a bit of hassle but the i/c pipe work length is reduced considerably , I don't know how much it reduces lag but it can't make anything any worse
And it makes you wonder what used to fill the huge
Space that's left

 

With the aircon and ABS delete already done it's getting quite spacious under the bonnet
