Inlet Manifold Fitting Damaged
 

Alright guys,

I recently bought a used WRX inlet manifold to have powdercoated. I noticed today that a small fitting has previously been damaged and needs replaced. I removed the fitting and its not threaded. Does anyone know what this fitting is for and are they easy to replace, i presume they are just pressed in with a small amount of lub

Links to pictures are below, the fitting os located on the RH side of the manifold.

Cheers

Kev

sorry mate, my legacy doesnt seem to have this, i cant help you.
The world is listening to your request. give us time.
can you describe the item taken out, was it an open pipe or some sort of vacuum take-off , or a sensor in a metal case?? maybe a port to go to an aftermarket boost gauge??
soz mate.

as above looks like a vacuum take off, wouldnt know how you fit one, can you get the bit out thats in there, i would just block it off with a self tapper with a blob of sealant or tap it and used a proper bolt. there are plenty of other vaccums to use, you would have to use a t piece on one of the other pipes that`s all

edit if it as actually pulled out i would use loctite or sealant to wedge it back in

I pulled it out in one piece when i noticed it was damaged, i think i will give my local dealer a call and see if they can supply one.

Get a bit of liquid metal on it, that will sort it.

i've used that before but i think i will use a bit of loctite blue to hold it in place, hope its a easy part to get hold of though as i have the manifold booked in for powder coating tomorrow
