boost pill
Hi & welcome, is the car standard ? Also depends on what type of boost solinoid you have if it's a two port on the restrictor pill should be in the small line between the actuator and tee piece If a three port it is in the lower hose from the solinoid It controls the boost people open them up a little or fit bigger pill to gain a bit more boost but it's not the best idea

Engine judder and cut out.
If it's gone out again i'd say either lambda or less likely maf. If you find a local independent subaru place they will have the ssm1 kit to check properly, if you really want to have a basic look you can get a cable & software from www.evoscan.com

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
I've stuck a pair of black diamond preadator pads on the front with standard discs (still had loads of meat on) much better than oem loads of bite and little fade. I would have put their discs on too but didn't see the point of wasting money un necessarily

Wheel Bearings
Www.importcarparts.co.uk are usually good for bearing kits, i'd steer clear of 20 quid ebay jobbies unless they are brand named ones, a decent oem spec bearing is about 40 quid each, the rears can be a pain to get the hub to lateral link bolt out they usually seize so I'd attack it for a couple of days before hand with penatrating oil, if you are planning on doing them yourself you'll need press to get them in and out again it's a pain as the abs rings are fragile. I paid my local garage a ton inc parts for the job, i'm glad I did as he had some right issues getting it seated correctly

Not sure this was a few years ago so I may have been usurped by a sport ka or such like it started to protest at an indicated 100 by violently shaking alot, it would have been better on the down hill stretch in the opposite direction, it's steeper ☺

My ex misses had two the 07 was more 'refined' 2 weeks after she picked it up I had the pleasure of dropping her at Blackpool airport & returning to leeds, needless to say it was rubbish up hill but those of you that know the m62 will know that either side o Saddleworth moor there's quite a long down hill section, [emoji51] managed a new ka land speed attempt on the way home. I put down not attaining vmax speed due to it not being run in properly yet

Possible failed lambda sensor
I wouldn't bother with a cheap one or 2nd hand as they are usually rubbish and you end up buying twice, best place to get a genuine subaru one is www.importcarparts.co.uk not cheap but guaranteed to do the job, have you had a look at getting a cheap diagnostic scanner from eBay and an app for your phone ? Will enable you to read and clear codes yourself and save some pennies but not having a garage look at it

Cooling system
Or fill from top hose, until you can't get any more in, then fill from header tank burp/refil/repeat .

Used to be same for me Dan, right pain in the !Removed! but works, Now I have the opposite problem, my jack won't lift high enough at the front to let me use stands. Looks like a new high lift trolley jack is in order

I'm with tidgy on this, normal load I see 02 bar upwards on the slightest of acceleration above 1500rpm. What type of boost gauge have you got & where have you teed into ? Could be a gauge issue ?

Depends on what size you buy, some will go in and others will need a spacer ring to allow the windows to clear when down

Fair enough on the styling wise I know where your coming from, the na foz may not be as involving drive as the impreza. I'm not on s net so can't comment but we don't judge or get into slanging matches etc just good banter and friendly grownup advice (mostly) [emoji51]
