Has anyone fitted an oil catch can?
You're welcome mate. It is I can't find anything I will keep looking but it's pages among pages of just nothing. :( Just going to add some bit's might help others or yourself in the future if anyone is going to do it :) How should a catch can be installed? There are a variety of ways to install a catch can. There's one right way, two sort-of right ways, and some would argue that at least one common installation method which is wrong. Sort of right ways: 1) Disconnect the hose which runs between the PCV valve and the turbo inlet pipe. Run a line from the PCV to the catch can, and another line from the catch can to the turbo inlet hose. 2) Disconnect the hose running between the crank case breather lines and the turbo inlet pipe. Run new hose between the breather line and the catch can and another hose between the can and the inlet pipe. Right way: Use two catch cans. Configure one as discussed in option one and the other as described in option 2. For optimal effectiveness, this is the way to go. Wrong way: Disconnect the PCV<->Inlet line as well as the Crank Vent<->Inlet line. "T" the PCV and Crank vent lines together, and run the remaining end of the "T" to a single nipple on the inlet pipe. Cap the remaining nipple on the inlet. You'll be sending boost into places that definitely shouldn't ever see any. Bad idea. Valve cover vent lines? There's more than one? Yes, but they're T'd into that black tube which runs in front of your intercooler. The third part of the T is a hose running to your inlet pipe. Can't I just vent these lines to atmosphere? You could indeed, but there are several reasons why you shouldn't. 1) You'll lose the benefit of having the inlet's vacuum help suck filthy air out of your crank case (thanks to Wylde Horses for this one) 2) It's bad for the environment 3) It'll make a mess of your engine compartment. 4) It'd let metered air out of the system

car tick over like little shakey
Only thing I can think was the pipe was some how starving it of air and I can't see why it would need to be mapped.

Not sure if any of this will help. I see what you mean it's a bit of a mine field :(

Has anyone fitted an oil catch can?
I've never fitted one but they do look like a pain in the rear hole. I've read they are set up the same way the Imprezas. I'm just looking for more info if it helps.

This year we have recruited some of the most respected judges in the uk who really know their stuff and even a top judge from USA, it is a chance for all the Subaru Clubs in the UK to get their Club stands out and show off their Club displays. They can compete for the Club Stand of the day and the Big Gold Cup and also runner up prizes.

The fee for the day is £50. We are also looking for raffle and auction prizes if any one would like to donate. Thank you. We need to get number and sign up before the end of May after that it's gone for another year :( Confirmed definitely going no matter what. Even if I have to push my car there :) From 08.45 at quarry moor retail park, HG4 2SD just off the A61 rippon bypass, Plan is to leave around 09.30 and head up to lightwater valley taking the bypass it's about six miles. For people coming up the A1 it's off at junction 50 then follow signs to rippon/harrogate, For gaulson and those traveling from the west follow a59 from skipton till you get to the roundabout at the entrance to harrogate the turn left onto a61. http://www.northernbigone.co.uk/nbo11p2.html https://www.facebook.com/pages/Northern-Big-One/114138271944139 Oh and don't forget Scooby Pete has some amazing Club Show Plates for a great price

lagging on full throttle
I would say the same as pommy or a failing coil pack if you check your codes you might find it's got a misfire code. I'f also check for any split or damaged pipes on the intake.

front and rear splitters??
I keep looking at the the diffusers at the back and a front splitter seen a few I like the look of :)

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Well went for a drive clean it through and for some reason a Astra CDTI van thought it would be a good idea to race. So I showed him I wasn't playing and left him standing ;)

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Not bad I'm shocked that audi didn't try to do some idiotic move to overtake he must have been in the 4% or he/she was having a good day :) Gave it a wash and I finally took the TMIC to look see if I could get the sensor on there for the oil pressure sensor and it's still too tight for the massive sensor so I'm going to have to resort to buying something to fit it too :( But while it was off gave the throttle body a clean and feels loads better to drive again :) Oh and I forgot to boot the Carputer down whilst washing and playing around with the TMIC and had a flat battery when I tried to start it so think a drive is now in need :)
