Welcome

its alwyas hard to tell on vids, but it doent sound too much to worry about

Always advisable to remap an import, need to run it on 99ron, vpower or Tesco. Best bet give a tuner a ring and have a chat with them, they will be able to advise on how to go about it and costs

Changing the exhaust will change how it sounds not just the volume level, so it Sounds like your just getting more noise from the turbo. If its been checked out then I would assume that's what it is and just keep on ear on it to see if it changes.

You mean I haz the power 😮 haha, thanks for the vote of confidence.

welcome 🙂

Cobra do a full race decat system thast designed for use on track so not too loud if you cant find a second hand one.

So cars done and i picked it up 😄 Managed 330bhp 360ftlb. Pull really strong all the way throught he rev range 😄 Forgot to pick up the graph so shall get that next time im up lol Turbo is maxed and injectors are at 95% so next step in a few motnhs is prob gonna be swap those out and remap to see what it gets too

Should be ok on the 5 speed at that, the hawk 5 speed onwards is alot stronger. I ran 400/420 on a hawk 5 speed for 10k miles no issues.

Onto plan B, dropping syvecs for now, price was gonna be more than expected due to sensor pack and also delayed things time wise which i can do at the min (need my car back for work by monday)

Have you got a budget in mind?

After a bit of discussion decided to go with a syvecs s6 as well.

Finally managed to finish the running in and now cars dropped off at clinic for few bits and finishing off, Oil Cooler Geom 3 port map hopefully have it back next sat 😄

decat, panel filter and map is a good option for power Suspension, roll bars, drop links for handling just depends how much you want to spend :)

dont bother, sell it buy a turbo'd model. The time, effort and cost will give less performance than just buying a turbo. Bear in mind even the compression is different within the engine

leaving a car running while unattended is what it falls under. Bit like if you left it running with the keys in it. Just depends on your insurance T & C's and how generous your insurance company is feeling.

save your money, dont bother. Just drive it steady for the last few miles before you park up, far better for the car and doesnt invalidate your insurance.

Are they saying it's covered by the recall?

I know the dude who's often working in the evenings at the local shell place well enough to say hello if i spot him off the clock not in his uniform hahahahaha

can you get AA or RAC to recover it to the dealer?

hahaha, although think i;d go superchrger route myself

looking good 😄 supercharge it 😄 hahaha

mines not far off the same with similar type of journeys

First off are you planning to keep the car? Next question is has the engine been stripped to ascertain exactly what the damage is? it can make a massive difference to the price, worst case, block, rods, pistons, heads can all be junk and need replacing which will cost alot to replace, or if most is ok then it wont be anywhere near the cost. Also you need to decided what your future plans are, do you plan to modify it for more power or are you just wanting it back on the road?

They could well have looked at it and there wasn't a leak, you could drive a mile, check again and there's a leak. So they are correct in saying it's nothing to do with them at that time. However, if the part has failed (aka a leak is now present) and there is a recall to check for that very thing i would expect it to be covered, that is the whole reason of the recall, had the inspection found something they would have had to do it at the time. Since subaru is aware of the problem, i would expect they can claim back the cost from subaru anyway. I would speak to the DVSA and ask the question. I would expect they will take a very dim view if you are being fobbed off. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's the DVSA that deal with recalls, not the DVLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Other option is speak to Keith Price subaru south of you (its 3 miles further way so not a major difference) and see what they say, the subaru dealer network is very hit and miss, i have one within 2 miles of my house (geoff cox) and they made a complete hash of some work on my mrs car, yet europa up north have been great.
