Gambit could u remove my number off the forum please as I said months ago I used link and it still posted to open topic

All sorted cheers for the input guys and away I go with my boxer sound and the turbo whistling and she's boosting nice, after research she does have a ecutek ecu and I have fitted new solenoid and Maf and that's the fix so if any1s still interested I want 1200 now lol

Every time I try and read codes it is blowing a fuse for dash lights and fan comes on instantly

Needed the turbo anyway Clive as oil seal blew in other 1 will sort 1 way or another

Never spluttered or had engine management light on before but never boosted right now my mechanic has stripped it down put it back together with new charger and its worse than before it wont rev through it its like ecu is cutting it out, maybe last try a boost solenoid and maf then thats it as only want it done to sell and get a newer 1

Quick update on the headache, yes clive got the turbo fitted the only problem now is I cant test it as dont know what the problem is but when gets to roughly 3k it splutters and backfires and now have engine management on, if any1 knows any 1 who wants I will take £900 as just had enough now and I will spend 3k on a nice newer subaru wrx, if there is any 1 who knows what there doing either in west mids area who could have a look if they think its summat simple, im starting to think summat around boost system for defo but not enough knowkedge with subarus, its running a 3port with no pill but it has not boosted right since I bought it and ive now had enough so kts a easy fix or it goes

Dont know why my number back on there gambit I did use the link

I will collect turbo ASAP

Not been on for a while

give me a price and I will consider

southyorkshire a distance for me would rather collect to give the once over

Brill if u could find out I will collect as want 1 quickish

Removed the turbo and the actuator is shafted and so is the wastegate on the turbo, its cracked, any 1 got a td04 for sale with actuator

Just to introduce myself to other members another speed freak in the club!!! Just bought turbo2000 wagon (1998) and own another monster but a ford running nice power, hope to meet a few people soon as I need proof that I can make 1 as fast as my ford as I love ghostrider in the subaru and wouldnt mind havin ago re-inacting him in the subaru lol but this 1 I bought not giving me the most amount of faith at the min in getting away, Speak soon guys and girls

on the printout I have it says ECU TEK Remap and decat engine power 276.4 corrected power 264.3 at the wheels 176.5 that is crap lol but still think she defo not boosting right

Checked all boost pipes and e erythjng seems as it should but today im getting a rattle from turbocharger when revs are dropping could that be when a shaft has alot of play in it so could the turbo be shafted and is a upgrade the td05 and will it go straight on.

I dont think it is pushing 225 mate ie think there is a prob surely they quicker than this I reckon a bmw 320d would terrorise it is that right

Just to add tried plugging in ids but kept blowing a fuse everytime ids came on the same fuse

Just aquired this car as a run around off a garage where some1 part ex'd it, it was last taxed in 2010 so its sat for a long time but bodywork is mint, had a ceased caliper and a water leak which I have now sorted so mot'd taxed insured and am driving it around, got a printout in paperwork showing 272 bhp but I have a focus st running 280 at the wheels and it would **** all over it so I have come to the conclusion the subaru aint running that anymore for some unknown reason its apparently got a remap by simtek it has a high flow downpipe a sti back box and after looking a standard centre section, serviced it with plugs oil filters and changed diff oil checked all boost pipes checked vaccum pipes checked boost solenoid even changed and tried another 3 port 1 but no difference, Played with actuator as when give it a rev I cannot see much movement what so ever so thought that maybe its shafted but cant get much more boost how ever much I pre load it, Won an sti intercooler off ebay today but with no dump valve fitted can I blank it off altogether and not have 1 in case its that thats nackered or any other ideas very welcome, the be all and end all is she aint boosting at all really she feels like a quick 2 litre I can hear turbo spinning and a nice whistle or is that boost leaking and not holding 1st gear bit of boost 2nd gear bit of boost but not put u in ya seat boost 3rd gear flat 4th gear very flat 5th gear not been on motorway yet
