has anyone heard about this needing to be removed off the vf40 equipped engines. I need to pull mine and was wondering if anyone has experince willing to assist. I seen the directions online, but dont wanna take apart the wrong parts.

Leemme know if you can help out, might need help with a few tool parts that I dont have either. Lunch would be on me of crouse. Directions said it should take 30 min per side

 

Isn't this just the filter in the banjo bolt that goes on your turbo?

 

Should be, but I thought you only needed to do this if you were running AVCS? Because the filter wouldn't allow high enough pressure through the system for the AVCS to work properly...

 

Simply remove the bolt that attaches the turbo oil feed line to the passenger side head (this is the hard pipe, not hose, that attaches to the top of the turbo and the cylinder head) remove the filter with a small flat head screwdriver.

Use new crush washers when you re-install the bolt.

The best way to do this is with a short 17mm wrench. Use the boxed end to break it loose.

I have even cut a long 17mm wrench in half to do this before....but make sure you file/grind off all the sharp edges.

 

Thanks for the imput guys. If anyone can help me do this it would be awsome. I dont got that 17mm wrench though. What size crush washers would i need?

 

Just call rick at Subaru and ask him for the crush washers for the turbo and for the head.
you'll need 2 of each.

 

Could the banjo filters be the solution for white smoke? (Smells rich)
