Hi everyone, new to forum and owner of a 2007 impreza hawkeye wrx wagon. I have owned a Mitsubishi FTO for the last 3 years and was a member of the owners club. With my wife due with our first child in 2 months it was time for an upgrade to something a bit bigger but still wanted power and came across this beauty.
Bodywork and underneath is in great nick and a little bit of work has been done to the engine bay with a remap by a previous owner-I'm sure it wont be long until I will be working to increase performance and put some bling into the engine bay.
Couple of problems though that would appreciate some advice. When accelerating in 2nd gear and up I notice that I cant out foot down all the way,sounds as if the forge dump valve I have fitted is opening as I can hear a release of air. When accelerating moderately it only operates when I change gear however under hard acceleration I can hear it in between a gear change. A mate at work reckons I need to change the spring inside? Thoughts on this? I'm new to turbos so not that clued up
Second problem is my immobilizer/alarm keeps sounding when I press the lock button on key, not sure how to stop it from going off-currently have to just lock manually in the door. I've checked to ensure all door/windows are fully shut so unsure as to what is causing it to keep going off.
Looking forward to becoming an active member and meeting some of you guys at some meets soon.
