Thanks mate much appreciated, I ordered a new icv gasket so I'm going to give that a clean and when I do I'll look over the pipe work etc. what do you recommend for cleaning it? I have found a post of someone explaining how to do it and they say people have used fuel and all sorts, surely there's some sort of spray or something that'll be better. It's holding boost fine but as for the air filter I'm definitely going to get a better one in the near future, but for now I pretty much have it down to an art, when I come upto lights I'm having to brake with most my foot while putting a bit on the accelerator so it doesn't dip then when I come of the accelerator it'll dip once maybe not even that and sit at idle, again it idles when in reverse haha literally confusing me so much but I reckon it's something petty (touch wood)

Anyone else got any thoughts and/or answers on this?

@savage bulldogs I haven't checked the pipe work for any leaks, although it has just been in the garage to get checked over, serviced etc the guy at the garage said he wanted to eliminate it being serviced and that before looking into anything else to do with the idle so I don't think he would of gone as far as checking the icv or maf but may well of checked the vac lines etc while being around that area (there's **** loads and I dunno what's what lol so not sure I can do that without someone being there and pointing things out) he also mentioned the air filter is crap and I can tell it looks in poor condition but could that be the cause of this when coming to a stop? Plugs and that would of been done in service so there all good and again I'm new to turbos so what do you mean by holding boost? It certainly kicks in nicely and feels smooth with out lack of power also I forgot to mention the abs flashes sometimes when driving at low rpm and it judders a tad then runs fine when it's not flashing, I read because of the wheels, brakes and it being wider than standard could cause this? It all seems linked in some way and it's something silly causing it to run badly at times as other times it's really smooth, when I start it when it's cold the revs are pretty much on 2000rpm and then earlier when I got home and parked her up again the abs started flashing and started running rough on idle and making some tu tu tu sound haha sorry for the sound description but it's the only thing I can put to the sound, lastly when I reverse it seems to hold the idle nicely if that's any help

Oh I see, my ecu isn't standard so I can't just reset it normally anyway can I? Also could a remap be in question here because of different fuels? The previous owner told me to use she'll v power as that's what it's mapped to so I went ahead and used that but I'm not sure if he just plucked that out the air and gave me a random answer, the car did cut out randomly just after picking it up and putting more fuel in (she'll v power) but then hasn't done it since which leads me to think could that happen because it was pulling the old fuel through and now it's given it a dipping idle? also is there a chance of this being the idle control valve? I was thinking about it because when I start to slow down upto lights etc it's then dipping down to about 100/200rpm then rising and finding its idle but could a broken idle control valve suddenly find its idle after a couple of dips or if it's broken will it never sit at idle? Sorry so many questions and probably stupid ones but I'm totally new to subarus not to mention modded ones and id like to try and understand as much as possible so I can get to know the ins and outs of this car

No I didn't realise you had to, how do you go about doing that? Cheers

You to mate, !Removed! hell she cleans up well haha and I'm not really sure where to go from this point to be honest...not sure if it's worth taking it to the garage as it could rack up a nice old bill but will tell me what the problem is right away or try and tackle it myself. certainly already saved money by trying your maf sensor I just need to find out more info on this iacv situation

/profile/5588-piggysniffer/" rel="">@Piggysniffer I have about an hour spare in between doing things today so I can probably get to Worthing for about quarter past 11 could you message me on (Removed number) please mate

https://www.densoproducts.com/product.aspx?zpid=20040 thats the one mate

@Piggysniffer I'm busy from 10am till about 6pm, is your maf the same as mine as well?

@Piggysniffer halfways roughly Worthing which isn't to far and it's upto you mate I was hoping someone a bit closer so I wasn't wasting to much of there time, thanks

@Buggyeye nice one mate I'll let you know on that

Lewes, near Brighton

@Piggysniffer the cel light isn't on and I don't think the revs changed, I didn't really check that to be honest I just removed it and it didn't cut out so stuck it back in, bit of a nightmare to be honest as it's obviously something quite simple, I just got the car and it's annoying driving around in town etc

Anyone in the south east close to Brighton willing to lend me a maf sensor to see if mines faulty, long shot I know but worth a try, thanks guys
