I think most probably you'll need a boost and exaust temp. For water temp., you current meter indication should be sufficient. You might want to consider using fully synthetic engine oil. Try Q8 engine oil. Seems to be very good on my car.

Look after your turbine, and engine oil change freq. If you keep your car stock, it should be running smoothly all the time.

1) Boost- You know how healthy the turbine is
2) Oil Temp - If you're oil coolers work
3) Water Temp - Radiator can cope or not
4) Ext Temp - To check if you're running rich or lean (by the way rich is safe just dont run lean)

Get a turbo timer. Use any good ol oil you like just get it serviced often as blowby leaves lots of dirt in oil. Good oil filter. Hope this helps.

yes man..use Q8...better....looks for me if wan change motor oil.....u try Q8.....no regret....i can get cheaper for u...direct from distributor......

my location owes at wangsa maju,zo0 negara, setapak areas......

if normal drive..no tune no modify......turbo timer n boost meter sufficient....

if u juz change engine...u can try Q8 semi syn 1st..run it for 4000km then change to Q8 fully syn....u can feel d differences....most users said better than mobil, shell, bp , petronas......etc....

Q8 semi syn rm85 +/-.....fully syn rm 41 +/- for 1 litre.........my 2 cents

nop...i knew tat one is Roy....drive subaru one

4) Ext Temp - To check if you're running rich or lean (by the way rich is safe just dont run lean)

alternatively you can get a/f meter more expensive but more accurate

Oh yes, I know Roy too. Super powerful Subaru, he has. Hahaha....I think Roy is either a partner or agent for Tony for Q8.

besides the sound,wat else the diff??which type better???

 

[crocky]

i m using castrol magnatec semi-synthetic..run very smooth and quite.

Previously using normal cheap engine oil...but engine noisy.

As meter, i used Blitz Boost meter and oil temp

 

[huakenny]

Q8 is performance oil.....no regret use this oil..better than other brands...mmc enigne r famous with noisy tappet sounds....use Q8...it can solve....

most subarus r using.....good feedbacks......me oso using

 

[huakenny]

actually internal BOV is not bad..no problem.....heard tat cant stand boost up to 2.0bar..

but external BOV can gv u nicer sound la.....can hear from far far away..ehehe.....

so any diff of performance for internal and external BOV besides the sound?is it wise to change the 1.8gsr internal to external??
