The pipe runs to the small brown unit which sits above the boost valve on the left, situated on the front of the suspension piller driverseide of your car! It is possible that the small brown unit I am talking about is your pressure regulator! (Just checked on my scoob)

Looks like the pipe i put a t piece in and connected to my boost gauge. This picture shows the pipe you mean i think. This is not my engine bay BTW mine is far cleaner!![:D] Hope this helps.

Dan,

Just had a quick look at the pipe, as Wee Jock said it runs to the unit on the drivers side suspension pillar, just behind the airbox. Not sure what that unit is though - Wee Jock thought it might be the pressure regulator but I really dont know. Couldn't see anything obvious but it would make sense that it is the pressure regulator. Some one on here will know for definate although I would of thought SUbaru will be able to tell what pipe you mean from the description. Maybe try another Subaru garage or specialist and then go back to your original dealer to order it once you know what it is.

Let us know how you get on m8

Cheers, Matt
