My11 Wrx Rattle

Hi guys,

I recently had my MY11 WRX clutch replaced as the previous throw out bearing had given way. When I drove the car away I noticed a rattle in 2nd gear in the 1500-2000rpm range. The mechanic suspected a heat agile but he removed them and the rattle was still there. I'm thinking his knocked/dropped something and that has loosened something internally.

If someone could help with some answers as to what could be vibrating that would be appreciated and would help me with my case against the mechanics..

Cheers,

Gino

I was more getting at a subaru forum being more helpful (as more likely to come accross someone who has had the same issue)

But it was a bit of a blunt comment in hindsight

Haha, I think my reply was a little blunt too. :)

All good, Your point is a fair one. And I have absoloutly no problem with those that have been around and are done with the Skyline scene posting here and contributing to the forum etc. Just OP has joined the forum to specifically ask a question about a WRX. It's got me more confused then anything

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
