I let a liter out and it is still way up on the dip stick, any thoughts ...

I have a 2.8 TD Rodeo 2002, it has done 150ks and doesn't have a turbo timer. I am a bit anal about letting it idle for a bit after pulling up. My question is are they a good idea and if so what model is best?

Joe

does anyone know of any power ups to a Subaru forester other than the turbo...

my question is (not knowing much about LPG) how much better on fuel/gas is the Rodeo going to be.

Thanks in ...

Thanks Bogged, that was my intial thoughts, but figured pleanty of others might be doing different stuff or modifying ones from Super cheap ect

I have an ST (I think) with factory flaired guards and mud flaps, the mud flaps brackets are rusty (along with my rear sliding windows) and was wondering what others do when replacing the mud flaps/spats. I was quoted $220 each.. which I won't be paying.

testing the clutch fan, once the car is hot (after a drive) turn the engine off and see if you can turn the fan by hand, if you can its not working 100%. you can buy the silcone oil from your local toymotor dealer, 2 tubes will be enough, shouldn't cost more than $30.

could you explain the ...

I have no idea how much boost, there is no 3" Exhaust either, not sure why the conversion appears only half done! Should I go back to Motson? Are you sure it was a Motsons conversion, not some backyard job with some bits he bought off ebay??

I would take it to someone, probably Motsons and see ...

I have a 92 GQ Patrol Wagon, with a 4.2ltr Diesel Auto, it has a Motson's Aftermarket Turbo. Other than that, it is totally standard. I am looking for more power/torque and would like some suggestions. Snorkel? Exhuast? can you increase the boost on the turbo?

I have a 91 Turbo Diesel (4.2) Auto Wagon (200Ks) and I get 480-500ks before refueling - my figures show between 12-15ltr per 100ks.
