STI Turbo Rebuild - vf43

In today's episode of TLJ Garage, we are working on the 2007 Subaru Sti. We pull out the turbo, power steering pump, and many more parts in order to try to replace some missing boost from a tired turbo.
This is our first attempt at rebuilding a turbo and a power steering pump, but definitely not our last. This video took a lot of work and is the result of literal blood, sweat, broken bones, and tears.
Enjoy!

Is your finger alright buddy?

[@TLJGarage]

It’s healing up but still hurts :/ thanks for asking

[@bondmoore007]

Great video! Loved it! J&b weld?

[@TLJGarage]

Thank you! We appreciate your support. The JB weld is an epoxy that bonds things together. Just a cheep and easy solution for a little crack.

[@burnster260]

DUDE you have to be more careful

[@TLJGarage]

I know it hurts so bad! It's getting better though :)

[@jmoore9806]

Hay bros how did the rebuild go for you ? How long did the turbo last ?"

[@boosted_marx]

Does anyone know where I can buy vf43 coolant and oil lines for the turbo?

[@TLJGarage]

probably on eBay or just google search it. Subaru will get you part numbers if you call.
