Radiator top hose help
I know I'm an idiot! Well took hose off, inspected and what not all good cleaned the top of rad and hose went on ok managed to move the clamp round and more towards the front tightened up and no more leaks, I was looking at new clamps what do you suggest? Was told the spring type are best for the rad hose ?

99/2000 Forester S Turbo upgrades
As for cats, just looks like it has a sports cat then, There shouldn't be one in the up pipe only new age cars came with pre cats in the up pipe, UK injectors should be yellow ? 440cc ones where as the imports had grey 380's Do you have any paperwork with the car, prodrive tuned cars came with a certificate, a dyno printout would help to confirm what's been done but if there isn't one I'd say he's guessing at max bhp. The fuel rail should be good enough to cope, I'd have a look at how long it's been in as warlord pumps seem to have gone a bit down hill in quality recently and a few failures have occured.

Drivetrain backlash
Hi ,you could change the pitch stop, they wear out after time and induce a bit of drivetrain for and aft movement

I'd solder but space is a bit tight, vampire clips are better than blocks,

Obviously the 4 pots will be easiest to see along with the bigger i/c. Maybe they have popped a prodrive ecu in from a done. Essentially it is the same as a wrx engine just a few slight differences,

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Managed to delete my own thread about top hose [emoji35] Still took it off and had a look at the offending leaky area clean everything up and re seated the hose used socket to nip it up and no more leaks [emoji3] Tomorrow brings round 2 of droplink fitting and re apply waxoil to some areas I missed the other week

Gauges and pod
I can't highlight the area I'm afraid but if you zoom in to the left of the coil pack underneath the ht leads you'll see the t piece where I plumbed mine in

Gauges and pod
I think so, I was told to take it from as close to the manifold as possible, I cut the vac hose that runs from the manifold to the boost soliniod. And inserted there. I'll see if I have a pic

Gauges and pod
Hmm did you cat not have the clock situated where you've put the pod ? If not you could always take the perm live and battery on live from the hazard warning switch. Does mean removing more of the facia, do you have a multi meter ?

99/2000 Forester S Turbo upgrades
Hello welcome, glad your enjoying the foz, Td04 good for around 270 maybe a hybrid one will get to 300 with supporting mods. 1bar with 250bhp sounds about right, Depends if the ecu has been mapped. Is it a UK car ? For 300bhp I'd be looking at td05 new age top mount i/c full decat & remap, bigger injectors if it's an import. Get some pics up too [emoji3]

Hello welcome, you are correct in thinking that nothing works apart from the green and black diagnostic connectors under the dash for providing basic info, being a 97 car is yours a jdm import? If so an ecu swap won't work as the jdm cars have different turbo injectors and cams so it won't run very well. Also i've been told the UK cars have an immobiliser in the ecu so you'd need a matched set of keys otherwise it would start up then cut out. A proper garage version of ssm will work but it costs about 6 grand- Looking for a mapper for the north west
Ash had his done by Simon jolly green- 54 reg subaru forester heater problem
Hi mate welcome, could be the heater matrix gone funny, do you have air con? Could be low on gas or have you had any work done on the car recently that has needed the coolant to be drained ? Maybe an air lock - HELP forester diagnostics
