10:1 is pretty rich. 11:1 is more like where i'd expect it to be on full chat. idle/off boost 13:1 ignore the initial wabble, was the ecu struggling to cope

not gonna be a cheap fix by the looks of it.

Ah fair enough, will be alot easier to sell as a running car then non runner with no mot.

Welcome. Not too far from me :) Not a million miles from scoobyclinic up at chesterfield, sure they could help out. They deal with an indy recovery driver so can get it picked up if needs be as well.

could be shift light? ask your mapper

typicly have to do some cutting, i wouldn't worry too much about it

I;ve never been very keen with the wheels on my type R, i have an old set in the garage that need a refurb. can someone photoshop them onto it? then a few different colour options? thinking maybe either black, gunmetal or maybe bronze? Wheels, Kei Force 8 if someone can find a better picture and the type R

my old one went from this, to this, to this finaly to this,

Onto of the engine is a bad place to have something trying to cool air. once driving airflow is limited by the size of the scoop so not ideal then. Simply put front mount is better for performance.

04 sti im assuming

Yep, also way beyond the capability of most drivers. it's very easy to say i want X power, but its a very different thing to have it and pay for it. your talking £1500 for the turbo, £2000 for the ecu and thats only two things, full engine rebuild for it will mean rods, pistons, head studs, crank bearings, fuel system upgrade, etc etc etc

find a decent tuner, give them your keys and your wallet and leave it with em,,,,, lol 500bhp is alot of power so will need to have a very good spec to get it there. Full custom engine build etc, prob nocking on 20k+

TD05 is pretty old tech, be better chucking an sc42 at it or something similar.

I'd be amazed if it was still for sale chap, first post is dated october 2015

Had same thing with mine, thought the mechanism was broken till kev walked out the workshop with a bottle of wd40 and a screw driver haha. Best way way kinda like above. Need's two of you though. Soak the mechanism in WD40. Second person pull the cable inside so it pops up (may need to wiggle it a bit with the screw driver to free the mechanism). Give it more wd40 and push the latch down with a screw driver. pull the cable to release again Give it more WD40 and push the lactch down with screw driver do it a load of times and should give it a nice good clean out.

Do what you like, not what others say ;)

It's like anti lag, people want it until they realise how much damage it does lol

really sorry to hear all the issues your having. :(

More than welcome chap. Glad they were able to sort you out.

if there cheap enough might be a winner then. Think im gonna go tiens on mine when i eventualy change them with the electronic controller just for !Removed! and giggles

sure theres was a thread on SN a while back, general conesus seemed to be ok quality wise but mega hard ride

On the standard td04 turbo don't bother. will be laggy. anything over 300 will see improvements by going front mount, There's a bit of a misconception that you can run x power on x intercooler (tmic, fmic etc), its mroe a case of use. Andy forrest ran mid 8's on a top mount which is prob 800bhp, but no way a car doing more than 1/4 mile would do it on a tmic and that power.

just have to see how it goes mate

cant help with that for def, but i would expect it to be different, more weight on the back end of a forrester

engine is the same in the impreza and forrester sti mate. I asked those in the know the very questions because i was pondering on one for the daily. decided against it because of the usual issues.
