It's one of those mods that some cars run funny unless mapped for one, some cars run fine even unmapped for one cheap tends to mean problems, weak springs that bleed boost is a common issue. http://shop.scoobyclinic.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_111&product_id=613 also need adaptor as well though

thats a good one, seems to be more and more common. right money maker for dealers, £3 bulb cost £30-50 to replace cos of the labour involved.

you can try a few things, as said, spark plugs/gap, ht leads, coil pack, etc etc but it all costs money and may not solve it. advantage of goign to a specialist is they can try a few things to see if it solves the problem. The other issue with misfire codes is they might not actualy be misfire, might be a default code its used. My dads kept getting missfire on cylinder 3, turned out to be something rather more sinister

need a specialist to look at it, could be any number of things

I'd stick with a decent brand, GFB are decent bits of kit.

How about MAF's and their removal via the use of after market ECU. They are a known weak point so typicly get removed and MAP sensor used.

hahahahaha, volvo is me daily, scoob the weekend toy :D volvo is lower up the ***** end of the scale than bmw, merc and audi hahaha

Hell yeah lol First milage this evening just driving for driving sake. Man have I missed that. Don't get me wrong can drive a volvo v50 all day, but it's just not the same thing

keep it off boost and under 3k rpm till its mapped, sounds like the ecu is doing its damdest to stop the engine going boom.

ah I get what your saying. for road use 2.5, for track 2.1 or 2.35

driven it :D hahaha

but have to say I'm not a big fan of bush,,,,,,,, hahahaha 440/500 miles to go,,,,

i picked up my 2.5 converted type r today. mines a 2.5 closed deck converted block, sti 5 heads, sti5 inlet manifold. dont think mines got any sort of adaptor plates, i'll have a nosey tomorrow in the light

gardener had been today as well,,,,,,, hahahaha

oo hello :D only pic i have at min cos i had to go straight out again, but 450miles to go :D lol

first off what gearbox is going in it? at 400bhp a 2.5 will be headed toward 450ftlb and a 5 speed box is just gonna shat itself.

they work on all subarus mate, so wont be that. i suspect there isnt an easy way to do it with the software they have short of putting a syvecs on it.

Welcome. your right on the doorstep of scoobyclinic mate :)

try the sniff test and go from there then :)

strange, take it on a longer run and see what happens

yeah, i saw you we in the broad sort of area around there lol haha, yeah but it can wait lol i need a sign saying 'running in, try again next week' lol

was it a steady drive or did you give it some hammer? sounds daft but if the gasket is gone near the turbo it will only be on boost it leaks

im already planning milage hahaha work and back is about 30 miles if i go the long way/back country route. clinic and back is 60, im off to raf scampton sat which is 90,,,,,,,,, hahahaha

hahah nah, 1000 :D lol

yeah, not picked it up yet, having its mot tomorrow. got 500 miles on crappy mineral oil, then 500 on semi synth all with no boost :( then back for fully synth and map :D
