oh and 0-60 is approx 5.2 :D

No its mapped for the morrisons due to the boost but he said it wont need another remap just change to the v power and it will increase the power with the settings in place. Duncan is the man!!! Before it was mapped it made 220bhp so only 11bhp down from factory

The decats are 2.5" into the 3" Invidia. Duncan said usually the hatchs fail to make boost but mine is the opposite and had to turn it down as it just wanted to go. Looks like V Power is the next step

Really pleased with the Race Dynamix remap. Car made 267.7 bhp with 340Ib torque running on Morrisons unleaded. I got told this is the wrong fuel and with V Power I will see well over 280 as the car is a good'n! It goes like stink!!!!

I have been driving it like Miss Daisy

So this will be sorted with the remap i assume?

So decats have been installed and power seems to have improved from 2-3.5k rpm but then dies which we think is down to it now needing a remap. The dash then went like a Christmas tree with all the lights including the MAP and Boost sensor error message but the garage reset this and they haven't come back on. i am hoping the decats have corrected the boost issue and with the remap it will go back to how it is was. The final final issue is now the stupid noise this car makes.... i sound like a wannabe rally driver.

I would say Duncan Graham at Race Dynamix's is most people's choice however he isnt based in one location and you have to check the calendar on his website to see when hes next in your area.

If I didnt just have to pay out for this exhaust issue i would have snapped your hand off for the lift kit and intercooler

I have learnt something new today :)

But the STI has a catted uppipe surely?

So it appears the issues ARE with the CATS. I am just trying to rally around to get the two decat pipes before Thursday so they can be fitted in time for racedynamix to tune on Friday

My only comment for these gauges is #Becauseracecar!

even though they are mainly a Honda specialist they build and run their own race cars and have done several front cover Impreza's. They also work closely with Surrey Rolling Road who have a specialist so i am confident of their abilities to resolve. On a separate note the car passed emissions at the weekend so that clears the CAT, next is MAF

Wrong area to be advertising! At the bottom of the main forum page is the classified section

Give them an email as he has manged to get things for me not listed on the site.

Have you tried contacting Tarmac Sportz? They do lots of aftermarket parts for the hatch plus Chris offers great support.

Thanks guys... As I am no mechanic I am going to let TGM who are a motorsport specialists have a look Monday. I am hoping its either a clogged cat or a faulty boost solenoid. I will let you know the outcome .... good or bad!

So not good news at all.... I have taken it to TGM who have just done a test drive and they agreed that the car isnt right especially at the higher rev range. They said it feels as if the turbo is being straggled which could be a number of issues: 1) Turbo on its last legs 2) The new exhaust fitted has failed 3) CAT has failed 4) Another leak elsewhere It really is typical that i get the car to a point and this happens. Im hoping its the exhaust as it means it wont cost me anything as its still under warranty!

Guys they have "sticky out" ones on Japanparts. :) http://www.japanparts.com/ Really coming on buddy keep up the good work

Ok I will give that a go. When I had a look earlier the belts sounds noisier tha. I expected but that's probably nothing

No smoke at all, nothing to suggest it's a fubared turbo! What's the easiest way to test boost leak? With regards to the whistle it's the first time I have heard it

Ok so things are really not great! As I started the car from cold and accelerated gently out of the office the car was making a whistling/squeeking noise which went away after it had got to temperature. I haven never noticed it before, next things i then noticed is the exhaust is a lot quieter and to top it off it just isn't accelerating as well as it did especially in the higher rev ranges. Something is really up with it and i fear it is the turbo :(

Yea its been too long! I should be there for about 18:30 if your about

My idea of hell in one pic! I will get it tested before its MOT on saturday. thanks
