Ive heard good and bad about both of those twos, nothing about about their mapping skills, but about their ability to communicate. 

Andy Carr has been very good with Joe TBH

Im thinking of fitting an after market blow off valve to my car, is this a good idea and if so is there anything to look out for?

there are some carp ones out there and heard lots of fake copies of hks or forge ones.

leaks, sticking, or incorrect spring can case performance and general running issues.

Spoke to Joe, luckily he found it was mapped by Andy Carr, not Andy Forrest.


he emailed Andy and Previous owner opted not to have ALS and Lanch mapped in. Joe since posted his ECU off to him,
Andy is remapping for ALS and supplying both cable & switches.

Result.

Good choices and welcome to the club.

To be fair there is no need, I’ve just heard there is a lot of benefits such as better on fuel and longer life span on the engine, although I’ve heard there are some downsides as well and just wanted to know if it was worth it or not

On Generation 3 cars Not normally any gains unless actually mapped in. 
 
although may sound more powerful ?

the Generation 2 &3 standard induction is rated up to 400bhp

Hi  and a big welcome. 
 

sadly prior to the virus all forums were struggling or have finished due lack of traffic.

Some part of this is due to social media but even big Car club venues were struggling. 

get a picture up of cars past and present ?

Hi everybody just joined this amazing club

Welcome  Although a little quiet lately, all the meets and Car shows cancelled 

What Scoob have you got or going to get, What part of contry are you?

Perhaps a picture 

Sorry couldnt resist

regards

Tony

also normally chassis coat is not gloss and sometimes flecked, like overspray.

also lie on floor and look up paint towards lights, sometimes view painting blemishes not spotted looking down to floor.

look at millage intervals between MOTs, was it off road during missing service routines

Tony

Welcome to the Club Sti wagon in that codition must be very rare 

tony

my car can last near 2 weeks but then loses it very quickly then. Even with tracker disconnected.

i normally just disconnect battery if over a week, will last 6+ months then.

Tony

also have same coditioner as Don, but happier not leaving charging on

Hi guys, new to this forum.

I'm the proud owner of a Turbo 2000. I've owned it since January so I'm still new to Subaru ownership.

It's a great example with just 38,000 miles on the clock. I've done a few maintenance bits already and this month I'm planning on getting the wheels refurbished (in standard silver of course)

I feel somebody may know this vehicle on here already though. It has an SIDC sticker in the rear window....

Chris

Welcome to the Club. As said above a lovely car. looks very much like my very first scooby, although mime was T888.

very low miles and std

very rare to find a 12 year old classic thats not driven through hellfrauds with the bling magnet on full 

Tony

see post 6 by bonesetter

https://www.scoobynet.com/suspension-12/918196-geometry-settings.html#post10398355

you see top settings are fast road on a classic

the bottom one is newage but more track orientated

did it do this from day you bought it? ———yes it has done

has the car been remapped? not sure if that year can be!! ——— from research it appears it CAN be remappped but I don’t believe it has been

most common issues are air leaks

have you an atmosperic dump valve. ——— yes, due to front mount Intercooler

swop 2 injectors

two other sensors can play up,

the temperature sensor for ECU, not the one for gauge. can run like choke fully on. okay ish when very cold but much worse when warm

and the exhaust sensor, runs closed loop with no throttle and correct burn from exhaust sensor.

when throttle put down open loop, burn controlled by Program Map.

okay, if no leaks found, and parts are good, looking for something not obvious. hard to tell which route to go without seeing car.

it does sound like decribe when anti lag or launch control engaged. trying to boost when stationary!! overfeulling!!

By the way,  when reving engine car stationary, you should not pull/see any boost, only vacuum.  If you do, thats the fault, turbo boost actuator fault , boost soleniod pipes wrong way or relay normily open and closed (vise versa) pull relay, see if runs smooth statically.

 i would try and prove boost actuator, as above near imposble to do stationary, unless you frig bost relay.

1) boost actuator, it maybe not working properly, put pipe on actuator suck very hard and see if moves okay, think towards the windscreen

a) Turbo actutor Not adjusted right, or sometimes original pipe have a restrictor, brass pin with small hole through and lost in pipe replacements.

b) leaks pipes on wrong way round.

C) closing two early or too late and incorrect fueling. Opening when stationary.

2) common dump valves

a) inspect, you could test blank off but thats VERY Dodgy, dont go over 4Krpm or kill engine.

3) ECU Temp sensor, running with choke on.

4) Fit first exhaut sensor

5)  2 injectors, dribbling but unlikey.

hope this helps.

Tony

ps we are enthusiasts trying to help, we are not mechanics and not aware of your capability

does your engine symbol amber fault light go on when ignition is switch on, then go off once starts up?

did it do this from day you bought it?

have you fitted exhuast or induction to it?

has the car been remapped? not sure if that year can be!!

have you any fault ECU codes?

most common issues are air leaks

have you an atmosperic dump valve.

check all vacuum pipes for cracks/leaks

check all boost pipes for leaks & splits

swop 2 injectors

two other sensors can play up,

the temperature sensor for ECU, not the one for gauge. can run like choke fully on. okay ish when very cold but much worse when warm

and the exhaust sensor, runs closed loop with no throttle and correct burn from exhaust sensor.

when throttle put down open loop, burn controlled by Program Map.

As you say, lots more choice but sadly they are, has beens. A lot of specialist moved on to the new kids on the block

i put a 6x4 magnex on my bugeye Sti i was so impressed. but later replaced when PPP can out for it.

lovelly Car, its not how fast they go, its all about the rumble

Hi all, new to the club but on the subaru scene since my first 98 impreza turbo 2000 in 2001which I wrote off ??, was run off the road by a truck, hands up that's the truth ?‍♂️, had many since and even ventured onto the dark side once "evo6" everybody makes mistakes lol, OK, I own a 98 Terzo #102 and my son has a WR1 can't remember his number

My terzo is currently off the road but looking to bring it back to life, only parked it up because needed a new car for new job commuting, but I'm collecting items to restore to some sort of glory, I'm not rich by any means so it's a painstaking process, I have the clutch and rear crank seal to do and full service before she is fit for basic duty and then I can progress from there, I know there are people that say keep it standard and those that say do it up, I do see the standard theory but it's not really my cup of tea which is why I want some parts and was hoping this is a good place to start, on my first impreza I had a full cat back magnex 6x4 oval exhaust fitted and had many since but I always thought it was the best sounding sensible noisy exhaust and would like to get my hands on one again for my terzo as the standard exhaust are rubbish and it's in poor condition so if anybody can help it would be appreciated, look forward to hearing from and in the future maybe meeting some of you, thanks Wardy ?

wardy, welcome to the club 

The first 2 Scoob i nearly bought were Terzo,s but but bought near new 1999 Uk.

First upgrade was same 6x4 Magnex. Ggreat quality but budget price, also fitted well. Rare as rocking horse poo. Think went bust.

good upgade is 4 pots, many WRX,s upgrade to Brembo,s expensive but means wrx 4pots are much cheaper.

Eibach lowering springs and 17" wheels are all do able.

whiteline bits are resonable antilift kit, replace drop links.

Thanks Tony, sound advice no doubt.?

I’m still looking.....so, you have a type 25? how is that? 
 

cheers  

yes still got it but has 105,000 miles . So a bit tired. I use it mostly on the track. i have  2011 saloon 340R but doesnt scratch the itch 

Welcome to the SIDC 

I 100% agree to your choices, and should get you a Hawk STi or Hawk STi for that money. And on plus side it,s not your first Subaru "Rodeo"

Although you will notice that JDMs prices are holding very well, which brings its own problems.

I spent 5 months helping a local friend get a reasonable JDM Hawk. with any 15 year old performance car plenty of nails and Sheds are out there.

Even obvious UK cars and not so, being sold as JDM,s. Some people didn,t know what they previously bought and so were conned. Others blatant rogues.

JDMs that are mint enthusiasts cars are so rare and demand big bucks.

There are a few reputable dealers out there and a very well known Rouge with new name.

Perhaps concider a Fresh import but again car age against you, see what Auction code is has.

I,m probably going against my normal  adivise, as say get a mint, enthusiasts low millage UK as long as properly forged. it may be better choice than a rough JDM.

best of luck

Tony
