Car looks nice mate. The missing cap is an aircon charge point, you should cap it off something or dust ingress will cause it to leak. The dump valve can bring on eml because you have a maf sensor. The waste air is normally recirculated back to the turbo inlet and not to atmosphere. Basically the ecu has already metered the air and is expecting it go back into the manifold so you'll be running rich if anything. I've got the same car and was advised not to fit a dump valve for this reason. That's my 2p worth! Enjoy the car!

Can't wait to see this, although it'll be embarrassing if it's slower than the last one!

Ha ha, no. I'd need at least a small lottery win too!

Yeah all done by me apart from the mapping. I'm a mechanic but this is my first impreza. The tgv delete is more time consuming than difficult and I only did it because one of the actuators was faulty so bringing on eml. Most important part is finding someone to delete the tgv codes when you've removed it all!

Thanks guys. It was my first time using vinyl wrap and it's a very difficult shape to cover for a beginner. For £15 it's a cheap but not easy mod. Better get the dreaded fuel leak sorted this weekend lol.

I'm glad there are people still willing to spend their hard earned cash on cars like this despite the 'encouragement' there is to buy a boring little diesel. Well done to you! Will be interested to see what you think of it.

Yeah it's a bit different. I suppose I really wanted a nissan gtr which is where I got the idea.

Still not sure about the black front but it's only vinyl so I can just peel it off if I change my mind. Any opinions?

Ok thanks pommy. Will have a go later on.

Will post some pics as soon as I work out how to do so. Just waiting to take delivery of a shiny new carbon spoiler so might do a little before and after.

Was googling for bits and found this forum. Looked fun and useful so signed up. Hello all!
