  1. Check the vacuum lines for splits especially from the purge solenoid and charcoal canister.
  2. You do have to pay a licence fee to use ecutek but it is probably the most tried n tested way of remapping bug's and blobeyes oe ecus . So although i use a mapper thats good with all marques of cars (not just scoobies ) he knows and owns what software is needed to map each type of ecu's . Maybe try getting a quote off a mapper who already has experience with ecutek and scoobs .
  3. Air intake or inlet manifold leak could draw in extra "unmetered air " too
  4. Does your local mapper map a lot of scoobies ? I think most mappers use ecutek software to map the oe subaru ecu ,what software is your mapper trying to use and has the car been mapped already (if so by who) ?
  5. Furry muff , i just assumed it had the oe phase 1 jdm top entry tdo5 , due to the phase 1 inlet . When i switched from the oe top entry tdo5 to the aps sr40 (stock location gt28) the banjo bolts supplied were much more restrictive. So much so that my hot idle oil oressure increased by 0.8 bar
  6. Nice find, james [emoji41] Did the vf22 come with the banjo bolts and is it a roller bearing core ? As the journal based tdo5 normally needs more oil than roller based turbos so uses a less restrictive banjo bolt .[emoji6]
  7. To add on top of whats been already said .....Seized brakes ,shocks and a fuel refresh before driving on boost
  8. 350hp (i think) its a semi auto with a veilslide body kit . Pics dont do it justice as dave always keeps his cars looking mint .
  9. Cheers gary , not so happy about the tree sap but very gratefull for the shade [emoji41]
  10. Today i mostly be at cars on the green with my local club
  11. Hi tim have you got any deals on 10 w 50 millers nano drive coming up soon ? I've only done 4k since the last change ,so im in no rush but i haven't seen any millers offers come through on the mailing list for a while . Cheers clive
  12. The oe back box on my uk turbo was so quiet you couldn't even hear the iconic scooby burble . So much so that my petrol head mrs said i had to buy a louder system [emoji41] If you want oe looks but better flowing and it to be stainless steel, i think haywood and scott makes a "scooby sport" back box with the oe looking "twin pea shooter" outlet
  13. If there's enough room, you Could try running a tap through it and using threadlock on the bolt ? It would only be a temporary solution (if it works at all) but it might just nip it up a little bit for now .
  14. Glad ive got a new steering rack gator in the shed, as i be mostly fitting it this afternoon [emoji39]
  15. Hi n welcome . Is the suspension stock or has it been lowered/upgraded ? By "good tyres" do you mean just the amount of tread or that they're quality sticky ones ? Tyre pressures correct ? Otherwise Maybe take it for a 4 wheel alignment check
  16. Mrs is draging me shopping soon [emoji57] She doesn't know it's gonna cost her a copy of this for the ps4 though [emoji39]
  17. Im just across the border in suffolk and use clive attowe tuning @ his 4wd dyno in norwich .
  18. Just looks like a normal dash bulb removed from its holder ,strange . Maybe try subaru main stealers
  19. If you upgrade to led's sometimes you need to fit a resistor to trick the canbus system . Tbh i dont know if yours has canbus but that bulb looks non led and therfore probably readily available at any motor factors or halfrauds .
  20. Spoiler alert
  21. No worries, just thought id mention timing belt removal as if its due , its definitely worth doing at the same time . Sometimes the crank pulleys can get a bit stuck and if your gonna change the belt it might be eaiser to drop the coolant and remove the rad . To make access and seing the timing marks eaiser . I've only fitted crank n cam seals once and my engine was out at the time [emoji6]
  22. Buy a v1sti ... .. No airbags or abs , made just for men with big nads [emoji6]
  23. Timing belt has to come off but otherwise its fairly straightforward job .
