Hi Stephen petes sponser here (sorry Father []) The ECU is an STI Version 1 ecu with Buddy Club piggyback chip but not remapped after the turbo fitting and no stand alone control. The complete story of the car is as follows. car was origonally a WRX and the previous owner had a V5 STI engine fitted.When Pete posted up pics of it Squirrel noticed that the boost solenoid had been "plumbed up to itself and the wastegate actuator was plumbed directly into the inlet manifold.At the alford day he had a look at it and checked out the ECU and he reckoned that was why the solenoid was "plumbed that way.I bought a Z4 ECU but when I fitted it the car just kept "nose diving" (probably due to the TD04). So if I fitted the Z4 now and got the solenoid plumbed up would that do the trick ? (should have probably done this first [:$]) or would it probably still be the same? and would it need remapped? Cheers Petes Da []

Changed my TD04 for the above and the car runs like a Mondeo (apologies to any Mondeo drivers out there but it does) Boosting 0.5 Any help appreciated. Pete

Cheers for the pics Ross,Should be able to fit it his scoob also. Pete

Thanks Ross is it a Subaru towbar or an aftermarket one,Dont suppose you would have any pics of it from underneath [] Cheers Pete

Has anyone got/seen a towbar on a classic saloon as my mate has taken up downhill biking and would rather have the towbar fitment bike rack than the halfords type that straps on,Think the big back box may cause a problem wth the normal towbar though. pete

Hope you wasnt sneaking away home early rob [] Pete

Glad you got it fixed mate! Pete

I had the same problem when I bought mine except that some ned had tried to get into the boot so it was totally bu**ered.You remove the lower part of the back seats with the 4 bolts that hold it to the floor then there are 2 bolts that hold the back part on,once removed push the back up and it should them come out,then all you need to do is climb in and put the switch back.I got a new boot lock and key off flea bay for 6£ posted. Mine is a MY93 4 door so should be the same Pete

Cheers Bandit The links for the classics works a treat,The section on the wiring is gonna be so handy as mine needs a bit of looking at due to the previous owners DIY attemps at the lights etc Pete

Hi Mate Welcome to the best scooby forum,Nice machine Pete

Cheers Grant, Still waiting to get the ECU and pipework sorted out,Once I get some money together Im gonna upgrade to a TD05 then get everything sorted out,cars running fine though Pete

Cheers Dale and everyone else! Stephen. My folks have called the insurance company as it was getting the windscreen done under an insurance claim. We had no choice but to use the RAC. Think someonse Ass will be nipping by Wednesday. Cheers Pete

Will have to wait till the New Year is past now. My Dad came with me as the car was dropped off 3 hours earlier. I created such a scene the guy was shaking! He was telling me that it was paint flake and how the paint process goes. My Dad told him he was talking crap and that's how he fits windscreens for a living. Definate screw driver jemmy! Will post after the new year how I get on. Pete

Car just painted lovely Mica Black. Went in to get a new front screen and they have chipped the paint along the edging strip. They said it must have been like that when it went in. Furious! Pete

Glad you got it sorted out Pete, It would have been a shame to have to travel 5000 miles just so I could change a fuse! Russell Who rattled your cage[]LOL Sorry Russell, didnt know you were away. Stay safe out there[] Cheers Russ! Thanks for helping the old's with my Xmas present. Car looks stunning!!!!! will post up pics later. To all the lads away at Christmas: Have a safe one! Pete

Sorted! Aftermarket fuse disguised as a plug!! Cheers Pete

Cheers mate, I did have a wee look but couldnt see much and didnt want to get in the painters way. Going up on thursday so will arrive with a torch and pocket full of fuses, Tried the tinternet for wiring diagrams but cant seem to find any. Pete

Any alarm gurus out there My cars in the paint shop gettin a full re-spray [] and I have got a bit of a disaster. The wires going to the speaker has got cut (I have joined the wires up again)and now I have no ignition lights so the car aint goin anywhere,the key blip doesnt do anything either.[:@] Im not sure of the alarm model but there is a sticker on the window "Protected by Clifford G4" Im hoping that there is an in line fuse that may have blown but knowin my luck. The paint job will be finished on thursday afternoon so all suggestions would be great. Cheers Pete
