I think he rebuilt it himself [emoji6] I've got nowhere near the experience as s.c but personally I wouldn't think that the first time a freshly built engine hits over 3k should be on full boost while being mapped for the first time . If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐

Imo you need to rev the engine to more than 3k off boost and then (once you've run it in off boost at higher revs) use 0.5 under 4.5k to bed the rings in to stop glazing of the bores . But as I said before, I've only ever used this method for 2 turbocharged engines , so it's just a opinion [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐

Should be ok , just follow the gradual off boost rev limit increases and then use actuated boost low down in the Rev range. If you cant manually turn the boost down (via apexi ecu or a controller) You get actuated boost by buy passing the boost control system . run a vac line from turbo outlet to actuator and plug any vac lines /ports you disconnected. This should give you a max 0.5 bar boost limit so you don't have full boost untill the engines run in with proppa oil [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Have you fitted a air intake temp sensor? As it gives another parameter to take some of the guess work out of the fuelling map [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐

Is this even true? :P
Yeah the v3/v4 sti's/type r's had more hp than the 280hp stated by subaru . A mate had just a cat back and panel filter on his unmapped v3 sti ..... It made 308 hp on the dyno probably due to the agressive cams in the v3/v4 heads If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐

Definitely but at least that site I linked has proven 1/4 mile times . There's not much between the standard classic sti and wrx times in real life. If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐

Battlefield 1
Yeah I've had a squint on there stants [emoji6] I subscribed to the battlefield you tube channel and this vid popped up yesterday so I just linked this 1 (cos I'm lazy lol ) . The only thing that I don't like about the ps4 is that not many of my mates made the switch when I did [emoji57] If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐

Idle problem
Opps I know it's a bit late now but you should mark the position of both the tps and icv before removal. I guess you can't see marks where the bolts used to be ? Did you undo the 2 little screws on top of the icv ? Did you refit the gauze / vacumm pressure disc behind the icv and refit it with a new gasket ? As a vacuum leak from the inlet could cause the same symptoms. The tps position will alter fuelling so don't drive on boost until you're sure the position is back to normal. I'm in Suffolk and unfortunately unsure of anyone else in your area but if you didn't undo the top 2 little screws on the icv, it's probably a leak rather than position causing the idle fluctuations. If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐

Battlefield 1
I'm a big fan of the battlefield series and the next 1 looks sweet , so after not enjoying the last installment of (pogo) cod I'll definitely be getting a copy of this for the ps4 [emoji6] Just had this vid pop up on my news feed . Not got much game play in it but what images there are certainly look quality[emoji41] If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Yeah Chris @cdf seems like a nice genuine chap and is always really busy (so I'm not worried just frustrated ). They make loads of subaru bits in house from scratch and are normally bringing out new improved versions of the older stock . so it's probably older stuff or last few bits before the newer stock comes in . Forgot to say I bought them from cdf direct , so it's also possible that whoever has his bits in the bargain bin might not be buying cdf stuff anymore [emoji6] . Just a shame that the first set of rails seem to have been lost in the post [emoji57] If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐

HELP!! horn,heater fan,front fog lights and my break lights all stopped working
I'm not too hot on sparky stuff tbh but the loom runs under the rad at the front of the car and if it's not "clipped" to the lower valance it can melt on the headers . So maybe check that area of the loom is ok and the earth's are making a good contact? If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐

Nice 1 ,Guess you'll be busy at the weekend then [emoji1] Forgot to mention don't panic if it sounds like it's blowing for the first few seconds when you start it up .....
