  1. Yes quite a few of us use them good service and if you can't see anything listed give them a bell they will have it or be able to get in quickly
  2. Over one bar, assuming it's on a standard engine with no mods or remap I'd say it's cutting fuel, turn the boost controller down
  3. No worries keep us posted as to how you get on, have you got a boost gauge fitted ? Do you know at what point it's holding back boost/revs wise could be hitting fuel cut point to save it from bad things happening.
  4. Hi welcome, could be one of many things from a hole in one of the vac lines loose clip on the air box or something more. May be worth doing a diagnostic test either with an odd scanner or using the self test connectors under the drivers side of the dash. http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/2366-manually-reading-ecu-codes/ Try this 1st see if anything comes up. Then I'd have a look to see if there's any loose or split hoses
  5. To be fair David, I think they would have looked a little lost in your arches,I was debating on getting a set for the foz but they looked all wrong (and offset is wrong)
  6. Plenty of time lol ! New fuel pump ? Did you not put a walbro in not long ago
  7. Looking good mate, just out of interest did your mapper say anything about changing your boost soliniod from a 2port to a 3 port ?
  8. As long as the flages match at either end you'll be ok, some taper for the flange, so it will be 2.5 at the downpipe join then go to a 3" section. If you've got a 2.5" backbox just get a 2.5" straight through section it will join at the cat peffectly
  9. Golf is 4wd and the bm is rwd, the golf is a very capable car it I vw after all so You get the usual niceties and a dsg box, like Steve says the power delivery in the subaru is decidedly old fashioned compared to the golf, as an everyday car the golf is something you can get in and go fast at any point. The subaru is something you have to work to get the best out of the car and learn to enjoy, as it will feel a bit outdated compared to the golf. As for the bm it's not a full fat m car but from what I've seen is brilliant it just doesn't stir up excitement.
  10. No discount unfortunately [emoji25] worth a try a blag some though we all use them so it would be nice If you manage it
  11. Remeber it's only been here since 2007 so now been subject to loads of salt,
  12. Ro be honest as long as you aren't chasing massive power a 'normal belt' should be fine, just get all the idlers and pulleys done at the same time
  13. Well mine is 17 now so I'm quite happy that there's only that little amount. I do clean down and underseal & waxoil her every year. This last week has been horrendous, Done 100 miles and it looks like I've been to middle earth and back. What you had done at gr mate ?
  14. I've a couple of tiny bits apprearing under the trim protector
  15. At the size of your turbo ?or in desperation ?
  16. Did you get the group n engine mounts too ?
  17. Whoop great news mate. I was only going off another members post regarding their sport not having any, did seem a bit weird.
  18. I was going to lock them but after seeing how little force it took to release them I figured it didn't really make much difference as if they were going ro shake loose they would have done by now. Mondays job is the fuel pump all being well so i'll inspect them while i'm at it. One side effect is that going into gear the engine has a little idle fluctuation now for some reason, fine in neutral though ? thought the clutch was slipping but after the 'in gear stall test' seems to be fine. Reset ecu this morning so I'll see how she is. Bit more nvh but nothing severe Engine mounts are next on the list. Along with some nice front discs and better pads, maybe some braided lines Then I can start thinking about mapping [emoji51]
  19. Cheers mate, £106 from scooby parts I forgot to ask for o/c discount [emoji35] but free shipping at the mo so swings and roundabouts. Only problem I had was getting the rear crossmember bush to sit in properly, on bolt has gone in further on one side, by a couple mm. Even after dropping it out and reseating it wasn't playing ball so did it up and I'll have a look next week see if it has squashed into place. I was worried about the torque values given for retightening, something like 70nm for thethe front 35 for the gearbox and rear crossmember then 107 for the 19mm outer arms ? The 35nm values were ok but I would have sheared the bolts off the higher ones, so just did up to what it felt right then then another quarter turn All in great upgrade, feels like a new car don't have to give it a stir when going for reverse now [emoji51]
  20. This will be going in when I've run the tank dry enough
  21. Saw him at japshow ran something like 8.9sec 170mph quarter
  22. Group n bits turned up today Found out today someone had stolen my jack from work Ghetto makeshift solution New mount in place Old ones looking a little haggard
  23. **** easy to be honest, thought I'd be fighting with seized bolts after reading horror stories, cracked them all off undid crossmember while still on car, dropped all out then popped new crossmember bushes in and 'box mount. Then the fun started tightened crossmember up before placing back but had to loosen it to get the rear bolt holes aligned, the torque specs were silly 114 for the 19mm bolts ? I just went by feel as if I'd used the wrench I'd have sheared them. The rear crossmember bush on one side wouldn't go all the way up so undid the rear and started again, Not sure why but it refused to go in totally square so I did my best and gonna let it all bed in then take another look next week when I've done some milage on it may squish into place
  24. Just have to take the long way round as I have to pass work to get to York
