As above just put a vf34 on my 2003 wrx..
During the removal of the old turbo I lost a lot of coolant.. So other than topping this up what other things shall I check before its started up?
I know I need a remap now but the cars not being driven untill then!
Thanks jamie

Make sure all clips/clamps are done up nice and tight (water-oil-intercooler etc).
Leave the coolant tank lid off once you've started it and top up if nessasary.
Feel for any air leaks around the up-pipe/downpipe while it's cold enough to get your hand in.

Yes. I have fitted a sti tmic.. And my local garage is doing injectors, fuel pump and boost solenoid. Also an uppipe.
Do I need 550 injectors on 2003 wrx? I'm hoping to get between 320-350
What are standerd wrx injectors?

Just drive it off boost, the DENSO ECU can cope easy........Bob Rawle is almost the other end of the country from me.
Save loading / unloading / scratches etc.

running a little rich is far better than running lean, just go steady as said and you will be fine, i did my own injectors and had to use the car and it was ok

unplug the crank sensor and turn the engine over with the oil feed disconnected.
I swapped a vf35 recently and it got oil starved after 100 miles as there was some crap in the oil feed line. Takes 2 minutes to check but I forgot so I had to bin a £250 turbo and get another.
put a rag around the banjo end and get someone to check it as you turn the engine over.
