    I still have a MAF & I am currently running a Atmospheric BOV, however no flams or overrun on decel, what's up with that?

    Each engine/setup reacts to a venting valve slightly differently. Then all valves are slightly different too, diaphragm size/spring rate/port size/Vac hose sizes. So some venting BOV will dump more metered air than others.

    Some people get flames and over run as you've mentioned, some get noticeable backfires on decell and some get nothing more than a drop in idle revs when the throttle first closes.

  2. Corresponding part numbers for the below pic in here:

    Then pics of the individual gaskets/numbers in here, just missing a couple (eg: secondary ECV UP gasket):

    Exhaust Gaskets? Got a new muffler, need gasket. Advice? go SCA/Repco? Gasket in a tube? Subaru dealer? would like to have it by the w/e so partsouq is outa the question

    Go to your local exhaust shop for a new gasket. Im currently using just gasket silicone with no leaks.

  4. BE/BH rails are identical to V5/6. Those would bolt on but looks like they come with threaded hose fittings, so would need your hoses/fittings changed to suit. Plus you'll need an adapter to run your original fuel pressure regulator, or an aftermarket FPR/FP gauge.

    Money better spent elsewhere IMHO, your OEM fuel rails will outflow your injectors any day. Just polish your originals up while everything's apart:

  5. 11.6v is very low, especially during winter. Could just be that it's cranking slowly, also the fuel pump prime might not be getting the pressure high enough with a low voltage prime.

    Check the battery voltage with the engine idling, should be about 14.4v. Showing the alternator is ok. Then shut the engine down/ignition off and monitor the battery voltage. It will probably show 12.5-12.8v at first, then very slowly drop back to 11.6. Showing your battery is toast.

    Could also charge the battery over night, or get a jump start in the morning to see if it starts easier.

    Is there any way to run a 3 pin coil pack on a 4 pin plug? Im assuming not. (I accidentally brought a brand new 3 pin one cause I didn't check mine first)

    Nah, not without loom changes and wiring in an external ignitor. The newer 4 pin coils have the ignitor built in.

    Will have to look at the weekend to all those things you've mentioned.

    It didn't throw a CEL yet.

    Anyway to tell if could pack? without multimeter? or is that the same as pulling the lead?

    Not really, other than swapping it out for a known good one or visually checking for cracks in the coil body. Here's the resistance specs/testing procedure for the older separate ignitor coil packs:

    For ignition trouble/misfires pulling leads one at a time identifies which cylinder is playing up. Once the plugs are checked, swapping leads between cylinders to see if the problem cylinder changes can identify a bad lead.

  8. Be worth checking your plugs out. Could also blast the lead head that's covered in oil with brake cleaner to see if it makes a difference, or just pull that lead to see if the idle/miss changes at all.

    Could be a dirty idle control valve, give it a good clean out with carby cleaner etc.

    Or a vac leak somewhere. If ether (starting fluid) is sprayed near a vac leak the fluid will be sucked in and the idle will change. Or do a good old boost leak (pressure) test, by blocking the intake off at the AFM:

    Then pump 10-15psi into the manifold with an air compressor. Any leaks will hiss and be obvious:

    I like the idea of using the tee to connect a boost gauge but I've heard of people saying to have a separate vacuum line for BOV and boost gauge or else you will get incorrect readings. I definitely want to do it this way as it's more convenient. Just wanna hear your opinion. Thanks in advance buddy. You're the best!!

    As long as nothing is leaking the only negative would be a slight delay in boost gauge response, due to the BOV diaphragm/actuator. Doubt it would ever be noticeable with 2 gauges side by side.

  10. A faulty vent door motor would show up in diagnostics. Be worth checking all of the white plastic vent lever arms out under the dash, make sure none are broken or unclipped.

    Worst case scenario is a leaking/blocked heater core that's been bypassed to hide a problem. Be worth pulling the TMIC off and checking the heater hoses are connected as they should be.

    If it wont blow hot or cold but the blower motor will still work wired to the battery, then it will be a dead blower motor resistor.

    Are the valves in V5 sodium filled like the RSK TT ones??

    IIRC it's just the exhaust valves that are sodium filled. Guessing the V5/6 WRX does, same as the V5/6 STI and BE/BH TT. The valve faces should have ID3 on the intake valves and ED3 on the exhaust valves:
