Dont know if anyone else has experienced this before....

Was on the way to work on Friday, had about 1/4 tank of fuel left (running 99 Octane from Tesco's). Boost suddenly started running at 1.4b in 3rd and 4th gear. She's currently running at .9b! This only happend on the way to work, when i drove home it didnt happen again and hasnt happened since??? All readings are fine apart from the mysterious boost increase.

Also thinking about providing her with a big intercooler and bigger turbo over the next few months. Gonna lock her up and work on her myself :) have a proper bonding session!

White line handling kit looks tempting too from the boys at Gatwick Subaru. Any one have this fitted???


Cheers :)

Boost increase is a little odd :confused:

I've had the solid drop links on for years, but fitted the adjustable 22mm rear ARB at the last Gatwick open day.
I wish I had done it years ago!! :D

I can actually get the back out on tight roundabouts now though only if provoked :haha:

if got the whole whiteline kit done

anti lift kit
camber adjustment
front and rear antiroll bars

what can i say! mmm i still love it got to be the best mod ever! no more understear, and the back ends just slides out a bit, very controlable once youve got used to it

BUT I WILL SAY you must learn how to push the car on its limits again, when i first had it done i went out to play and added to much oposite lock and it snapped back, but now i love corners and rounderbouts,

i have lost count of the amount of times ive had people looking for the brakes when ive driven down the stonescross road to work, this road is a 60 mph road with a few nice set of s bends, i just sit at 60 and wait for people to panic when i dont brake at all,

if you can get to a meet ill tak you for a spin or send me a pm and il meet you in brighton one sat,

ps the handle above the passenger door has become my wifes jesus christ handle

wicked guys, thanks! Ill have to take you up on that offer. Would like to see what difference it makes. Boost thing still remains a mystery?? Maybe another visit to Gtwk S perhaps. David described it as you have Buzz - spot on mate. Back end going out a tad.......sounds cheeky!
