How we going to tell if you have the standard ARB chap...? Do you want to post some pics up or something...? :biggrin:

Have a look under your car if the ARB looks tiny and a bit pathetic, it's standard.

Regarding the boost solenoid, have a look here

Scoobypedia | Trusted knowledge for everything Subaru | Knowledge / Boost Related Issues

I'm guessing yours will be a 2 port.


Oh and the intercooler does not have any electrical connections.


If you are having problems or are planning mods let us know and we can probably give you better answers.

Thanks

I cant post any pics at the moment im using my fone to post threads and replys, i dont knw weather the arb have been changed il google the pictures of the standard ones to compare or wud some1 on here be good enough to put both the standard and the upgraded 1s wud be much appreciated. With the ic, i want to take it off to make sure everythns tight and secure underneath, with the boost solonoid, i stil cnt find it iv looked at the link but cnt find it in my engine bay, i think its supost to be on the wing but cnt see it, mines a my99 cud it be somware else' thanks for the reply guys.

If your is original it will look smaller than the one that the guy is replacing in this link

The original Forester one is 13mm. Easy and cheap to swap to an Impreza Sti 20mm anti-roll bar

with the boost solonoid, i stil cnt find it iv looked at the link but cnt find it in my engine bay, i think its supost to be on the wing but cnt see it, mines a my99 cud it be somware else' thanks for the reply guys.

To find the boost control solenoid (Wastegate control Solenoid) just follow the small bore pipework from the turbo as shown in the Scoobypedia link but for ease this is the picture...

Its on the UK drivers-side(RH) suspension tower tucked behind the air filter box.

yep i got the standard arb, shud i change the links aswel as changing the arb,what are ppl charging for them, seems easy enough to do the work my self, and wot about the front is there anythn i need to change there. Thanks

 

[tmac26]

thanks for that pic don but that doesnt look like my actuator solenoid, mine has the pipe from the actuator t piece to the solenoid but there isnt another pipe goin to it theres just a electrical connector pluged into it, do i have a single port solenoid, is it possible, thanks.

 

[tmac26]

oh and how can i test if it workin ok, thanks

Your pipework should look like one of the following diagrams...........

boost control solenoid is item 6 on this diagram

and item 9 on this one..........

If one side vents to atmosphere, you would be advised to fit the pipework that goes back to the air inlet pipe as it will probably affect your boost.

If you connect the green connectors under the dash the ecu should go into test mode and cycle through various relays and solenoids including the boost control solenoid which should be heard clicking.

Solenoid shown in following is a 3 port but principle is the same......
