what mode did you have it in? It may have defaulted to SI mode which runs half a bar boost circa 7-8 psi
you may have a leak although on such a comparitively recent model for a hose to go is a bit pants
DV if standard will be the OEM recirc valve on the TMIC nearside
S mode runs 1bar about 14.7 Psi and S# runs 1.5bar which would be your 21+ psi
It sounds electrical to me so if no codes were generated I would look at some rolling road time to check ECU map (and look at launch control flat foot shifting down shift throttle blip) and general engine performance live or maybe a dealer but that could just resort in easter egging - not come across this one before though
Wotcha and welcome - friendly bunch on here so feel free to have a mooch about, we do like pictures as well so if you have any you would like to share stick them up :)
almost 23:00 several cervesa's with SC chasers and all I can say is - Diz you crack me up, some funny stuff there :D especially the accadacca commitment before commitment pure class!!
what a shame - but it is easily done - have been caught like that myself.
plastic bumper might be sorted it heat the boot lid you may be able to hammer out the spoiler however my be where the big cost is due to replacement and paint match. I wouldnt go the insurance route myslef as I try and keep no claims discount etc which enables me to get reasonable insurance for sports cars in the first place
could be as simple as a split pipe which expands under pressure / heat loosing fluid whilst running - a once over with Martin in Sheffield would put your mind at ease
You wont be able to put a specific price on it purely based upon the model it is - get a figure in your head that you would be happy with and take it from there
result on the exhaust, enjoying following the progress on this one.
wrt the dump valves I think its all down to personal taste both Forge and HKS do a quality product but as you said HKS gives more variety / flexibility with the sound - its like trying to choose between Ben and Jerrys and Hagen daas :P
I think I have found where the Subaru concept car went... didnt even bother to change the paint job

Congratulations!! :)
I know its not necessarily what you would like to hear but as long it has x4 doors and you can get a push chair in the boot it will work as a family car, maybe change the shocks back to standard to get a slightly softer ride and it could work no problem
That is an impressive spec - my advice, same as given to a mint WR1 owner, have a price in mind that you will be happy parting with it and stick to it, may take some time but the right person will come along.
