I'm assuming he means that Toyota is bitching out of taking responsibility and is saying that the maker of the turbo kit should rectify the situation.

Frs300 · 04-01-2013, 04:39 PM

toyota is saying its a bad tune that caused it. I CALL BS

i did get to look at the motor in the light today. the entire top of the block is in pieces. the heads are still intact no seals blown all the fluids are still where they should be.

Personal choice for sure. I wouldn't (and haven't) hesitate to use them on hoses that see positive pressure. On a barbed fitting and a correctly sized hose they are good. Use clamps if you prefer of course but I wouldn't be too concerned about them.

This is just playing out bad to worse. Best of luck @Frs300, but it looks like their(dealership) about to hose you.

Was this already proven to be the dealership's fault?

bakerr6 · 04-01-2013, 05:05 PM

good luck, if it is something they did I hope they end up paying for it one way or another. if not, then I hope you can afford to rebuild the beauty and get her running more boost in the future

Adeets · 04-01-2013, 05:20 PM

@Frs300 To prevent anything like this happening to another user, I could suggest if you don't know of a good aftermarket shop for the FRS/BRZ, watch for a highly modified Subaru during your daily driving, follow him til he stops* and ask what shop he uses, do it a couple times, and the first shop to get mentioned twice, get an address and go check them out.

I've lived in several Cities (28) and I do just that every time I'm in a new city, its worked every time, a lil scary stalkerish, but you cant ignore the results. The stalkee after you explain what you were doing normally laughs and helps you out.

*make sure to announce that your not armed and mean no harm when your following them into their driveway, didnt happen to me but a buddy got a gun pulled out on him when he did this in texas. (I've always owned a subaru so I dont know how they would take it if you follow a subaru in a non subaru vehicle, which is what my buddy did in texas.)

Also do you have anymore pictures of your engine?

SkullWorks · 04-01-2013, 05:27 PM

In one of your Pics you can see the top of the Wastegate the nipple is there, but it has no line on it...please tell me this isn't where the boost signal was attached to
