haha sorry matey, it was a quick message before I left for the pictures, sure it said leeds :)

Roger Roger pictures to follow tomorrow.

Yeah my mate pointed it out as he was showing me blanking plug number 3, then the dreaded question, are you sure this has been remapped, followed by yes why ? when they must be miracle workers as solenoid aint connected

The story gets even better, turns out they have apparently mapped my car without even having the boost solenoid attached, that in itself is a true work of art, I have a feeling that ive been had at the moment lol.

give martin a call at Sheffield Subaru services mate and see what he suggests, I got a clutch and it cost just £180 for fitment, hes bang on with prices and I believe he has the heads off a scoob at the min if im not mistaken.

cheers mate, I shall have a word with Martin and see what he says about how easy it is to fit etc.

I Could always sell you the turbo you require ;), I also have an STI spoiler , this will allow you too go much faster into the corners honest

+1 or maybe the dreaded Maf ??

nah I mean that ill tell loyds that they haven't met there service agreement, and you would thinks so but im afraid they have to many diehard fan boys.

the minute that they try to charge me more ill be ringing loyds TSB to cancel transaction of the sale, + side of paying with the credit card I guess, if they cant delivery customer service then god help them.

They are getting rare, I witnessed one in black like mine sell for 12k on ebay, it was concourse and the black was an optional extra like mine, however as most of the boy racers of this era are unaware of what it is many car have ended up embarrassed, especially evo's and Scooby drivers.

update, spoken to Scooby clinic and so far it would seem they are passing the blame, however they are looking at the car on Friday but when I asked if it was for free they said they would let me know.

Hi mate, if its full decated you will have had uppipe done, here is the one that was on my bugeye and it sounded mint, but do what I call the youtube seal of approval :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/01-06-SUBARU-IMPREZA-WRX-GD-GG-S-STEEL-EXHAUST-SYSTEM-/200623605217?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2eb61945e1

what make is the after market one. just out of curiosity do you have stainless headers, downpipe, up pipe, cats ?, middle boxes etc, as if you want to go louder these are the things to change without compromising the overall sound. For example my bugeye had 2.5inch back, no cats and one middle resonator (silencer) into a pretty small back box (toyosport) and a 2.5 inch uppipe, this gave a very loud but satisfying Scooby burble at idle, then I replaced the headers for unequal length stainless and it made it sound a lot louder but still sounded great. Now my Classic is the same but 3 inch back into a Jasma backbox which is huuuuuge the overall sound isn't as loud but the tone is a lot deeper. I guess what im trying to get at is a full system may be more beneficial in the long run if you don't already have one. As always hope this helps.

Are you looking at it due to a mate having it or because its on Ebay ?, search toyosport exhaust on ebay for the bugeye, if I remember you can get the full lot for about £180, I had it on my bugeye and it sounded amazing, as for your question a couple of searches on numerous threads say that it can :) http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f52/will-02-wrx-exhaust-fit-05-sti-10760/

no I don't think you did put too much on it :), As for the theory of not giving it the beans that doesn't count either, mine used to get regular right peg and mine still did it. let me know if it doesn't improve it.

yeah ive been looking into getting that, an escort RS turbo had it as standard but the gearbox is like rocking horse.

best way to do this is take off the intercooler, as once that is off you can check the pipes on the intercooler and make sure that has no cracks, this will then give you a big open space to check all the pipes on the turbo and the wastegate, it could be anything from a tiny pin prick to a big split that is causing it. is it the original turbo that was on since new, if so it may be getting slightly tired.

someone else has posted a thread stating similar issues to yourself, http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/2223-rpm-and-boost/ ive given a walkthrough in there with things to do, as for the taking it apart, I just made sure it was fully lubed with WD, didn't bother taking it apart as the spring wasn't collapsed it was just sticking wide open. Hope this helps :)

I'm in Sheffield matey, so about 25-30 mins from you.

while the turbo is bedding in ive had the boost turned down to minimum, so around 200bhp at the moment, and its a complete animal at handling, no power steering and no ABS, so if you make a mistake you have to basically react fast or crash :) , im doing it up to be a 0-60 and show car though so handling etc was really a big issue.

they always say that you tell 2-5 people on average of a good experience and 20+ of a bad one.

I don't have the screws but I shall give you the link to it on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121165308032?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649, it has sold but the guy who has bought it states he accidentally hit bid, yet he bidded on it 8 times, so its going through ebay to get reinburshed. the bit where its ABS shows its genuine.
