That would be it.

Some places call them crush washers, some places just call them banjo washers....either way, they are copper washers that are to be placed on either side of the banjo fitting when the bolt goes through the banjo and gets screwed into the turbo centre section :)

As long as they are the same size, all should be fine.

hmm thanks for all you help guys, thats great now i have the tinniest idea of what i am actually doin, because i am doing it myself :P

np :)

Have you changed a turbo before? its not really that hard, just need some time and small hands ;)

i have but that was on a skyline pretty much the same principle it looks like

Yeah its sorta the same....

remove coolant and oil lines
disconnect wastegate line
remove cooler or cooler pipes if u got a FMIC
undo intake pipe clamp and slide it off the turbo inlet
remove heat shield
unbolt the turbo flange on the up-pipe
unbolt the dump pipe

Lift turbo off up-pipe!

The hard part is getting your hands and tools in to do the up-pipe and dump pipe. its easy if your under the car to get to the hard to reach stuff, but I managed to do it all from the engine bay.

I'm quite sure a VF series comes with all the water lines and oil drain tube, but if not, transfer them over from the TD04.

Make sure when you put the new turbo back in to the engine bay, you connect the oil drain tube up correctly, or you'll have a fairly decent oil leak!

Use new gaskets too!! Not that expensive from a Subaru dealer....

Also, if your VF series didnt come with studs for the dump pipe, use the ones from the TD04...spray them with CRC, lock two nuts together on the thread, and then unscrew the stud. You might have to use a little force to get them out!

awesome sounds pretty simple ey

looks like we got our tuesday morning busy hey mark ... those washers are same type as our oil sump plug . have to replace every time or it will leak.

so mark u got absolutly everything this time ready for us to go ...


ill get peter to do my up pipe while where doing ur turbo.

Peter has all the gaskets we need plus he has all the studs as well..

awesome well i got the washers ey
