some help please,boost cut and low boost :)
Could be, can you bypass the controller and plumb it back in correctly ? Looking at this http://www.enduringsolutions.com/ECUGuide.pdf there's every possibility that yours originally have a v5 ecu, with all the other mods yours has it must have been running some other engine management

Doesn't the acvr only work with the power fc ? If so methinks somone whipped out the ecu and repalced it with one from a breakers, hence the gc8 written in pink on the cover ? Just a thought

Yeah actuator pressure is around .5 bar, could the wast gate be sticking and working intermittently? It will go into limp mode too if somethings wrong but will only rev to 2.5k. Just post up anything you have issues with & wiring vac lines etc that don't look right, easiest. Don't suppose you've plugged the green and black connectors in beneath the steering wheel to see if you get any historic faults come up ?

Hi mate welcome &sorry to hear about your troubles, easiest thing would be to get it on a dyno, that will give the best indication of what's happening or not as the case may be, If ecu is upgraded it's either a standalone apexi or has an els board or one has been put in from a later model, how many plugs does it have ? The boost issue could be anything from a split hose to more serious problems, best off taking loads of pics and posting it all up, we're all friendly here and will try to help out as much as we can

No gearbox oil?
Many of us are over 100k with the standard box and people put up to 350 though a 5 speed. I can't see it being totally empty as it would have got hot plus it contains the front diff

Early Forester Turbo
Hi mate, good news about the job, if it's a UK car it will more than likely have a tf03 turbo on, imports have a larger td04 on Pic for comparison It's a mitsibushi unit so there should be plenty of them around, I believe volvo used them for a while on certian models, They are oil and water fed so would be easier to find one that has the same kind of set up saves blanking bits off, In theory pretty much anything will bolt up with some modifications to the hot or cold sides. A td04 or 05 would give you loads more oomph but to get the best out of it it would need mapping in

new bonnet/scoop
Factor in another 150 for paint and 50-100 for a scoop so might be worth looking for one out of a breakers

Takata airbag recall
Gonna hurt if she gets her nips caught in the buckles ! I think they are quite literally !Removed! 17 million cars in the states alone potentially need recalling. Takata have a plant in Mexico so I'm not sure if it mainly effects usdm more than any other market

Fan working?
Yes mate as you look at the car the right side is for the rad and the left fan is a/c. Non equipped cars only have one fan on the left, people do mod it so the can use both for cooling, not really worth it unless your in Africa
