When's Duncan coming up to do your car mate & are you having a live map or on dyno ? The misses has just made me buy her two more !Removed! Christmas prezzies so I think it's about time I treated myself to the esl board I've been promising myself [emoji16]

What software has the car been mapped with ? Could be that you can get it deleted for the cost of a new maff, otherwise there should be a sticker on the top of the maff housing indicating which one it is. Generic ones are poo and your better off saving your cash as you'll only end up buying another one in a couple of months

Hello welcome, feel free to get stuck in and post up some pics

If your that unsure about it I'd be inclined to keep looking. If it was my car I'd be showing more willingness to sell it If that makes sense

I've not spoken to Duncan yet but it was around 600 for the board and map. Sadly I just don't have the funds to get it all done at once at the moment. The misses has other ideas as to where the money should be going

Yeah plugs match, cheers mate good sensible answer, I was only clutching at straws really, you know when Someone goes ah I've got this and all kinds of possibilities were going through my head, mainly involving loads of det and tears and money vs some more boost haha. Think I'll try and get my hands on a spare 4w ecu send it to esl then save up for a map

Been offered this ecu today, it's out of a v3 ra so I know it's mapped for 100ron but I'm guessing mine is anyway being an import. So should I stay away and keep my money or is it worth a punt to pop in my car and risk some serious worry and possible melt down both financially and mentally ? What turbo and injectors did the ra have ? Just thinking it's cheaper than an esl board but may not be in long run

My engine paranoia has returned, seems to be making a 'different' high pitched knocking sound, probably just the cold affecting both my mind and the engine

No worries, feel free to get some pictures up and 1st impressions when you pick her up [emoji16]

Hello welcome, Shell vpower is the choice of most of us on here, there's also BP and esso premium, just make sure it's 97 Ron or above

Oof nasty bit of tin worm there [emoji35] what's the pan for the shell weigh it in ?

The issues can be addressed with a remap mate, a few had Ringland failure and we're recalled by subaru. If yours has a prodrive map I wouldn't worry as it was incorporated in the package

Speak to these http://m.mangoletsi.com/subaru/ They had a car at no that had had a dealer approved remap producing 340bhp

Reset the ecu. Let it warm up take it for a nice drive with the occasional full throttle. Maybe just needs to re learn the air fuel mix

May have some clearance issues with the offset, rubbing on the rear struts, could always get some spacers I think,

Hello welcome, feel free to get stuck in glad your enjoying the car already

Hi mate, not sure is yours an early classic ? Never seen the bov in that position either, I take it that's an after market intercooler ? Is the top port on your boost soliniod not connected because of the manual boost controller ? Anyway the pic of the aftermarket bov looks like it's for an v3-4 car which fits in the elbow what leads away from the right hand side of the cooler on most cars.

To be honest if you took the wheel off marked the position of the existing bolt locations, you could whip them out pop in the new ones aligning them roughly with the old marks and drive it slowly to Rev's for them to align it all properly. Just depends on how much then want to charge you to do it

Yep 48 I'm not really wanting to change anything like that as I know it can affect handling. I know some people have 55's on which rub so I didn't want to go too close. I see a lot of wv wheels with 38 offset wouldn't that play havoc with ride ? Wheels are one thing I'm not that clued up on. Never actually changed to an aftermarket set on any of my cars.

The bolts would be a 5 min job mate so I don't see why they wouldn't.

If your gonna spend some money have you looked at the hybrids Andy forrest and other firms do ?

Maybe it's just the engine, How many miles has it done ? Nick was saying the guy that was mapping his said it took to the mods really well and extra power was easily extracted

I'm just perusing the Web at the mo and I've come across a couple of sets with the correct offset probably not going to buy them but just curious. I don't really know about offsets and all that, There is another set that are the same width 6.5" but a 53mm offset

By all accounts up to 15 hp with equal length headers. There's a back to back dyno comparison that a US site did to see what the benefits were. I'll see if I can find it again as was interesting read
