Matt! Turbo inlet pipe questions!!!!

Ordered a gp moto inlet pipe the other day and should have it by the end of the week. What problems did you have with yours? I remember you saying something about one of the connector holes being too large or something like that. Was this one that was made for a WRX and not the sti? Is there a difference or was there back when you got yours?

For those that do not know, the DRNWAGN is at Hillmoth waiting for Andrew to come back from vacation. I have a cracked oil supply line to my turbo. This is in the lower portion and will require removing the intake manifold, tmic, coolant res, inlet pipe, maybe a fuel line and finally the oil line! The part is only $90 but the labor is going to be about $600! None the less, since the intake manifold is coming out I figured I would get a new inlet pipe and throw it in there just for GP (no punn intended). Should have the car back on the road by Tuesday or so.

Dude, that sucks! Sorry to hear about the problems. Any idea what caused it?

Couldn't be with a better guy though, I have heard nothing bu good things about Andrew.

I never actually tuched the lower portion of this line. However, you have to connect the upper portion to the turbo. All I can think of is that when I was connecting it I may have bent it or something causing a small crack. Over time it has grown to the point that it is now dripping oil all over the place! I got lucky I caught it in time or else things could have been much worse.
