Or....... Racedynamix (Duncan Graham) is based at Triton on Hurn AirportTriton Motor Services Ltd307A Enterprise WayAviation Park WestBournemouth International AirportChristchurchDorsetBH23 6NW lol, no wonder he's hard to track down

I had an address that was aviation road (I think) Christchurch, but I just can't find it anymore , odd edit obile-friendly - 14 Feb 2013 - Race Dynamix Building 461, Aviation Park West, Christchurch Dorset United Kingdom BH23 6NW

Lol, ok thanks SG, I was basically trying to get up to his place tomorrow morning so he could have a quick look at my car/map and tell me what he could do and how much, just assumed it was a smallish company with secretary etc, will persevere

No mate, just an email through his contact page on website, will give him a call in the morn

Still no word from racedynamix, is he a one man band ?

Thread jack......... 😜

Okay guys, thanks again for all your input, I have emailed racedynamix on the 30th March, have had no reply so far, will hopefully have a chat with them about my car and make some sort of decision from there, it is driving a touch better, I have globally removed 2 degrees of timing and have so far had no more FLKC and cleaner pulls power wise

Listened on my phone and couldn't really hear bug ger all, so I'm no help at all as usual :-/

Used to get that on my old sapph cozzie after a spirited drive, I think it was the return water pipe from turbo that was causing the noise as the turbo boiled the water, don't suppose that helps but thought I would put it out there :)

Any news ?

Can't see a video mate

Think I picked mine up from g&r Harris breakers for 40 quid on my 03 blob, like you said, easy job, even moody looking bolts came out fine, did mine on jacks, just had a thought...... If you had the plastic engine undertray on the car they wouldn't be able to see most of the c frame to mot it ?

i think you will find its a case of , if it's not there it can't be tested, rather like the spare wheel, most mot stations wouldn't even realise or even know, you don't need it to drive the car and lots of people take them off completely, have a Google, consensus is that they are there for extra crash protection, and from what I can gather the spec C cars do not have them fitted at all due to weight reduction

What about you take it off (if it's the one in the link) (and if the bolts are undo able) and then take it for an mot with it not on the car, then bolt it back on after and look for a cleaner one later on

Thanks for your replies guys, I have seen nothing but good things so far about racedynamix tbh, but I know not everyone can be happy, and I like to really do my homework thoroughly with anything before I do it, any chance you could enlighten me as to why you are anti with this particular tuner tidgy, maybe on a private mail or something as I don't want to start any sort of rift on the forum ? Also im not sure wether I have one of those tunes that's locked to the tuner that did it, what happens in that instance ..

Racedynamix looks to be the one for me ! Thanks mate

Hi all, I think I have pretty much got my car running as good as I ever will but it's still not 100%, the boost just seems to come in to aggressive for my liking, it's like a bit of an on/off switch, and I think it's the tune tbh, I have a receipt for a London company called FLASH REMAPPING that did the tune in 2012 @ 69k it now has about 99k on it and I reckon it needs doing again, can anyone recommend a good place to get my car tuned, I'm based near Portsmouth, thanks guys gals

Are you getting wet inside the Windows

Hello mate, I would also check under the carpets, a lot of times in other cars you can have a big thick layer of padding/sound deadening under there and the water doesn't get high enough to wet the carpet

Thanks for the link mate, is it a td04 as standard on the hawk

Ok, as you've probly seen I've been workin through some issues, this one tho is basically random boost numbers at any time going from 14psi to maybe 16psi approx, every now and then I hit around the 18 that it first did when I got it but tbh that hasn't been happening lately, slow to build boost too and missing that instant surge of power when the turbo first kicks in and tapering off dramatically, I've disconnect the vac pipe off the waste gate actuator and driven it and it will produce more boost but it's slow to build. I've checked and checked and checked for boost leaks with leak spray, vac leaks with just about anything possible, the other day I blanked off my bpv hole and the return pipe and drove it and still the same, so I came home, got a pry bar(this was just a quick test) and gave the actuator a quick pry on its bracket to preload the waste gate a bit more, hey presto, instant boost at a steady 16.5psi, another quick pry and I'm back to 17.99psi and pulling like a train. (I think this is where I may make myself look like an absolute idiot but hey ho) drive the car round a bit and it's back to its old self, drive it the next day still the same until I come round a bend, get on the gas hard and have what I presume is boost cut, violent ! This happens a couple more times and I then presume I must have a actuator problem of some sort even tho it's not reading too high on romraider and put the post up about wanting one, today I have more of the same and then pretty much run out of fuel, basically had to nurse the car the last 200m home, I thing I may have bent the fuel level arm in the sender when changing pumps 😳 And presume what I thought was boost cut is actually fuel starvation !!

Morning all, I think I may need a new one for my 07 hawkeye, don't want anything flashy just the standard item, any idea where to get one or is it a Subaru only item ? Thanks very muchly 😀

Ok car seems to be running good now, but I think I may have to untweek the waste gate a little bit, I encountered what I assume must have been "boost cut "today 😳 Stamped on the gas, boost shot up, car lurched forward then felt like someone just switched it off then back on again at about -18 psi, not my idea of fun I must say, I think it may need to come down a bit it says 17.99 on romraider, not sure what psi it's supposed to cut at...... I will google it

Oops, I've got kseal in mine now 😬

If I'm not mistaken, all scoobys have to have have "Subaru coolant conditioner" running in the coolant system at all times otherwise you void any head gasket warranty that a car may have on it, basically from my research on the subject it is infact rebranded kseal, apparently is was specific to certain models for a while and then was rolled out across the board, have a Google and see what pops up .....or was it radweld....hmm
