Hopefully someone else will have a bit of input aswell then.its 2000 year in blue :)

I will have a look at the ecu in the morning.it could be that with the bov and getting a false reading but i have noticed a difference aswell i can tell it doesnt seem to have quite as much there when i floor it.but the only difference now from when it went in is the smaller diameter centre pipe so cant figure it out.and a new maf aswell as my other one was knackered :( i just thought that if it was running 1.3 before then i would be ok with a mbc taking it back up to 1.3 but i wasnt sure if that was the case as im new to this game still thanks

Thanks for the reply.im not sure on the ecu as i have not had the car long and i bought it as it is but i will have a look shortly.and as far as im aware it doesnt have swithable maps for it to swap to.it seems to still boost at the same time just stops at 1bar instead of 1.3.the only other change which i wouldnt have thought would have made a difference is that i have had my dump valve blocked off

Hi everyone sorry if this is in the wrong place but just wondering if can get a bit of advice.i have a turbo uk2000 impreza and it was running just short of 300bhp and 1.3 bar of boost after being remapped with with few mods.i took the car in for service and and a few bits and get my exhaust changed aswell was too loud and was advised to take air filter off and put standard box back on(which the garage did) as it can ruin mafs.my exhaust was swapped from 3inch centre pipe to a 2.5 inch centre pipe to quieten her down a bit.but when i got the car back it was only running 0.8 bar of boost so i put my air filter back on and it went up to 1 bar.my question is could i have lost the other 0.3 bar of boost because of the downsize in the centre pipe? And if so would i be ok to get a manual or electronic boost controller and take it back up to 1.3 that it was running before? As it was remapped to that originally i was wondering if that would be ok to do without causing any damage.i would make sure i didnt take it any further than 1.3 without a remap i case of damage.thanks

Just ordered a turbosmart one with pillar pod so hopefully will be ok.trying to source a decat uppipe and downpipe now then thinkin of goin scoobyclinic for a remap then thats it for now.lol you no of any other good places that remap what are bit cheaper than scooby clinic or are they the place to go to?

Thanks everyonesorted the boost problem now a pipe wasnt connected right all good now boosting around 14 psi.on a mission today now to find a cheap boost gauge and holder if anyone has any recomendations?

Thanks 4758nigel and i will get some pics up as soon as i have finished trying to sort out some problems im having with her lol not boosting right i dont think

Think i have just found that little sucker actually but between my t-piece and the solenoid it goes to there is a connector that is what i thought was my pill untill i just found a lump where it should be so i presume thats it.lol but should there be a connector between the t piece and solenoid? Doesnt seem to be for anything just looks like pipe been cut and a connector put there

Ill invest in it then if it will be ok? Also my restrictor pil thing is in the wrong place and when iv had my car hooked up to that torque app it says my boost is 14inhm or whatever measurement it is lol but that works out at 7psi which from what iv read is low? Could the pill being in the wrong place be the reason why? Sorry for all the questions

Cheers gambit.ye i love it just a few little bits to iron out and she will be my new baby :) new up pipe and downpipe and a remap thats about it for now but im sure there will be more to come after haha

That is one uppipe iv found.not sure if iv done it right though lol

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=291149995426&alt=web that is one up pipe i have seen says its for bugeye but unsure of quality? What u guys think?

Ok mate cheers.seen some used up and down pipes on ebay goin pretty cheap but i never no if they fit or not lol dont suppose u know about the ebay stuff is any good do you? Theres some brand new stuff made from stainy steel that says it fits but its not a known brand

Hi everyone im looking at buying a decat uppipe and downpipe for my 02 wrx wagon.iv found a cheap decat uppipe from a sharkeye impreza would this fit straight onto mine.is there any difference in exhaust sizes from wagon to normal car? Only ever played with backboxs so dont really no where to start with decat? Are the ebay downpipe and up pipe any good as they seem quite cheap? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone just bought my first subaru its a 52 plate impreza wrx wagon.pretty standard just a bov,induction kit(cone filter) and catback exhaust but hoping to add a few little mods and a remap hopefully after doing a bit of research as im a noob to this and dont really no where to start.hopefully the search button will be my friend as im sure everything will av been covered before :) just wanted to say hello and thank you in advance as im sure i will be asking a lot of questions along the way lol
