Cheers dude, I'll order one today 👍

Thanks a lot, so may not be boost problem at all?? 🤔 I guess best thing to do is get it plugged in and get this code/s, can any one confirm that a 2001 wrx is OBDII compliant, all the readers I've found seem to be the above 👍

Cheers guys, I'm Portsmouth area, I'd rather not buy one or pay a garage £90 just to plug it in! Needs must tho. It's booked in for new plugs next week so see what that brings. It it true that if the management light comes on it won't boost any way, it goes into some sort of safe mode??

That was a good read and certainly lots for me to check now, I'm sure I've had a 3 port solenoid installed and looking at them diagrams am sure it's plumbed wrong 👍

Ive been looking into this and believe these don't have that function (counting the flashes on the dash board) so I'm sure it will need plugging in, been quoted £90 just to plug it in and give me a code 😥😯

Bummer!! Well the lights on, I've heard it can be historic codes that have not been reset although given the way the car is performing in sure it's on because something's playing up.

Yes totally agree, thanks a lot. Would a faulty plug set off the engine management light?

I've heard that there's one particular cylinder closest to the turbo that's prone to issues due to heat or is that a myth?? I did start to attempt to change the plugs but oh my god how awkward are they!! 😥 what is this knock sensor? Is it an easy fix or a way of testing for a faulty one? Thanks 👍

Brilliant, thanks a lot I will read through that shortly and also check the hoses to see if I have one 👍

I was told it has had a map but that's all I know, I will look through the paper work and get back to you. Cheers

Hello, thanks for your help, my solenoid has 3 pipes, one that looks like a main feed in (which has a hose on) then 2 at the other end (one had another hose on and the other had nothing on it) does that sound right?

I haven't done this yet, what's the best way? Some one said a spray bottle with soapy water?? 🤔👍

It's only running on the premium fuel, ok I didn't know that, they were just called dpf cleaning or something, it's the terraclean guys, im sure you've all seem them? Either way it made no difference, should have saved the cash for something more useful 😥

Thanks guys, yes I've just heard about this pill!! I'd never heard of it before, all my pipes have been replaced for after market silicone so it could be very likely it's been left out?? Would this still be required with certain mods or is it needed full stop??

Hello all you subaru heads I'm new to this forum so please be gentle with me, I've just purchased a 2001 bugeye, despite the seller assuring me the motor was 100% I've had nothing but hassle with it (only had it less than a week) 😥 the biggest issue is lack of boost, it doesn't want to go any higher than 5-6 on my gauge and seems to struggle and cough (maybe even misfire) when I put my foot down and get the revs up, it's had a front mount intercooler installed which has relocated the air filter in to the drivers wing, this was clogged solid so have replaced it (which improved it slightly) it's had a full dpf clean which didn't do much, I've also checked the boost solenoid which didn't seem to be clicking under test mode (green connectors under dash) but does click under a bench test on a battery but my inexperience means I don't know if it's knackered or not, it's reading between 22-23 ohms between terminals, good or bad??? I have brought plugs but have not fitted them yet as it seems more like a boost issue/lack of power. Any advice would be hugely appreciated, thanks in advance 👍👍👍👍👍👍 I should add that the engine management light is on
