LOL thats funny because I have one of those, as well as the Forester and I can personally vouch that the CR-V is much more fuel efficient. When it comes to fuel economy you really can't beat a Honda/Toyota 8-)

When it comes to pure unadulterated blistering fun IN A SUV/WAGON/WHATEVER A FORESTER IS in Trinidad, you just can't beat the Forester. 8-)

Thats going to be "RD2" older model, non vtec. Those do guzzle gas, but not as much as a Forester!

So Subie men, what turbo am I working with :?:

InDeForest · Postby **InDeForest** » July 12th, 2006, 9:41 am

MHI TD04L usually

Jimbo · Postby **Jimbo** » July 12th, 2006, 9:46 am

Ah ok cool, I thought it was a Mitsu turbo

Would you recommend a Mechanical Boost gauge or a Electronic one?
I'm guessing electronic since there must already be a signal for it :?:

AND X-trail AND Rav 4 :lol:

InDeForest · Postby **InDeForest** » July 12th, 2006, 10:43 am

MHI = mitsubishi heavy industries, so yes, mitsu turbo
mechanical boost gauge would be fine,
do you have a roro or the N&M?, The roro run about 10psi, and im still not sure what the UK market locals run, but it is less. Actually, steups, i just remembered the UK market models run a smaller turbo, a TF035 with lower boost, thats the models with 177bhp, the JDM with the TD04L and 10psi do 220bhp.

Jimbo · Postby **Jimbo** » July 12th, 2006, 10:57 am

JDM so yeah I figured it should be 10 psi, hopefully the boost gauge install won't be too much of a hassle.
And yeah I figured as much wrt MHI,
Can't really pick up if it was passive tense or assertive on an internet forum I guess :lol:

Oh and for those who bought a gauge used and didn't get the instructiosn with it, check this out:

Jimbo · Postby **Jimbo** » July 13th, 2006, 3:30 pm

So, have a Autometer Full sweep electrical boost gauge for free...
First question, what does "Full sweep electrical" mean?

The install doesn't look too hard, I don't have the T-fitting for the vacuum source though, any idea where I could pick up another?
Oh yeah and whats the best vacuum source to use :?:
