some pics would be good 🙂

Yeah ap's would be overkill but the price of a good set of discs and pads and hoses etc. for the standard 4pots might as well bite the bullet and spend a bit more on brembos or d2's maybe, I use michelin ps3 tyres and will be getting the ps4's next probably as they have been great

With my front pads and discs very close to needing replacing I have been considering instead of getting just new discs and pads to upgrade to a set of brembos or some other big brake kit, some thoughts and opinions would be great. Cooked my fronts today on some spirited country roads

yeah sc36 definitely isn't a good idea on a wrx with stock box and internals... I tried a friends car with a vf35 that was running roughly 320 and then I was mis-sold what I thought was a vf35 as it had the markings on the compressor housing but had been rebuilt with a different bearing housing and vf34/30 turbine housing and produced just shy of 350 at the mappers and more smiles behind the wheel than the latter, only paid the vf35 price too as the breaker mistook it for the 35 too

The vf35 is a slightly faster spooling turbo but it will not produce as much top end as the 34, the 34 is the better turbo but more pricey and harder to get hold of. If you are doing the injectors I would put the NGK PFR 7B uprated spark plugs on too

After searching through a tonne of other after market boost solenoids I found what I was looking for :)

Can anyone shed a light to which pipes connect to which ports on this denso unit... (wastegate actuator, boost source and the vent to intake) I fitted a 3 port Perrin ebcs boost solenoid last year but recently just lost all boost it won't get above 0 ont he guage but can hear the turbo spooling so trying to eliminate what it might be by first swapping out the solenoid to this denso one as pictured below as checked pipes for leaks and can't see anything. If this isn't the issue my next step will be to remove the turbo and up pipe to check those.

Have you checked that you haven't reconnected the fuel lines the wrong way round on the filter? Simple mistake that is easily done

@Sandals I had a similar problem when fitting new discs, pads and hand brake shoe kit on the rear of mine this spring, once back together the wheel was locked solid on the ns when the wheel nuts were tight which was odd, loosened them off a bit and could turn the wheel but with heavy resistance against me which led me to find the new disc had a lip that was rubbing against the disc back plate shield and saw the old disc had the same lip but had been worn down. Not sure why the lip is there but I got a chisel and straightened the backplate and took as much build up of dirt off it as I could then put it back together and now it's much better. @mattiekane That really sucks :( Get the brembo helicoiled?

It certainly was, 345bhp is the end result which I am happy with! Completely different car to drive now, pulls very nice and smooth at a lightning pace
