turbo not holding boost
Sounds like it might be over boosting or over fueling. When you replaced the pipes did you replace them with same size pipes and refitted the restrictors?

gauging interest
Shame they don't do HUD's for cars. If it's good enough to fly a plane at high speed low level surely it would work for cars. The only aftermarket one's I've seen was just speed or satnavs. Having the guagues on the windscreen would be so much better.

If you want something to display det then look at a knock link. http://www.linkecu.com/products/TuningTools/knocklink_g4 I had one of their original Knock links in my classic, and removed the LEDs and mounted them in the dash itself with the box hidden away. You might still be able to get these 2nd hand on eBay.

Hi - new bugeye wrx wagon owner from North London
Welcome along, a cple of ways to tell if it a UK car. All the stickers are in English. On my import they were all in Japanese. It has a factory fitted rear fog light and a factory switch. Imports don't have fog lights as standard so they will have after market ones fitted. On the speedo cable by the exhaust if it has a block splitting the cable then it's an import, this is a gear box to change the speedo in to MPH from KPH. There's prob more but that's all the easy ones I can think of off the top of my head. Apologies if I'm teaching granny to suck eggs.:)

Tyre Pressure Help.......
There no precise science to it, as long as they are not over or under inflated go with what you feel best.

Tyre Pressure Help.......
I run 30psi rear 32psi front, this on 17" though. If you can get the tyres filled with nitrogen rather than compressed air. It's an inert gas so doesn't expand when heated. Means the tyre pressure is constant. Most Kwickfit and ATS can do this.

what if...
Cam belt is doable but a real pain in the **** when the engine is in the car. My engine was out and I tried to do the cam belt myself, didn't buy the full kit just a new cam belt. When I fitted the new belt using the old pulleys, it was about half a tooth out on one cam. When I put it back in the car the engine ran but was very lumpy and luckily it didn't cause any damage, ended up getting the belt replaced by a specialist. Cost me £300 all in, the whole cambelt kit and fitting.

Need a reversing camera.
Yeah more than likely but at least buying a pioneer one you don't have any compatibility issues. I've been looking for a while and there don't seem to be many cameras with the guidelines unless you get a kit with a separate monitor included. The pioneer from the US it will be about £250 at the mo. So it could be worth ordering from there and shipping it over. Obviously not as cheap as a 3rd party kit but a much neater solution.

Need a reversing camera.
Pioneer do 2 reversing cams. The Pioneer ND-BC6 http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/25/38/301/ND-BC6/page.html is quite cheap but It does not have the guid lines which I found out after installing it :( The Pioneer ND-BC20PA http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/25/38/301/ND-BC20PA/page.html is the one that has the guidelines but @£400 it's a lot more expensive. It can be bought much cheaper in the states and as my mums off to New York in June, I'm going to get her to buy one whilst there.

Auto Express reviews the 2014 WRX
Still think the wheels and wheel arches are to small, still a positive review, all they need to do now is enter the WRC and we'll all be happy.
