can anyone PLEASE help me do this? also, would i need a new gasket for the DP? planning on buying the DP from weapon wrx... I heard that gutting the uppipe is shit loads of work, and if i dont gut everything completely some parts will go up the turbo and mess it up... so, could i run a regular uppipe, the invidia DP on stock exhaust (except my sti axle-back) without a gasket? If there are gaskets to be replaced, i will probably go ahead and do it because my car already has 80k+. i really should be changing my timing belt and the water pump, but weapon wrx's deal is a steal....
You really should replace all the gaskets when doing it. Otherwise there's a very very good chance you'll have to redo it before long, assuming it doesn't leak from day 1...
+ 1 gutting the uppipe shouldn't be that hard but if you are that worried about it buy an aftermarket one they aren't that expensive. Also if your wondering about the downpipe to turbo gasket i would replace that one i am still using the stock one without problem, but no matter what definitey replace all of the up-pipe gaskets + the passenger side exhaust manifold to block gasket.
+Elventybillion! I will be heading to SOG in the near future and then unistalling/reinstalling my UP/DP for the FOURTH time!!! Stupid Gaskets....
