Yeah i took it to a mates mechanic shop who looked at it but couldnt offer any insight unfortunately. Looks like its running sweet! They checked and cleaned the MAF again cause it was pretty dirty and put it into their computer. Has been running factory boost the whole time which is good to know. They said the boost gauge is most likely faulty as it wasnt showing any fluctuations in boost. Thanks for eveyones help.

Yeah gave the MAF a clean and it ran alot smoother on to boost but didnt help long term unfortunately. I live in Howick. Have booked it in to subtech for them to have a look at

The MAF seems to be fine so looks like its an electrical issue

So i got the car back from the mechanics. Unfortunately no fix. They tried a new boost solenoid which apparently didn\'t fix the issue so they didnt replace it. They sealed up some leaks. It runs a little better but have noticed the boost fluctuates. However still boosts to about 1.2 in 1st and 2nd and drops to just below 1bar. 3rd it jumps to 1.5 and then decreases and 5th and 6th it stays solid on 1.5 but doesnt feel like thats what its actually pulling. Any ideas? I have reset the ECU which didnt have any effect. Thinking I will replace the MAF as that seems to fix alot of other peoples issues. Or just take it to a subaru specialist as it seems to be a bit of a mystery according to the mechanic. However they weren\'t specialised in Subarus or anything. Cheers, Ben

I also found out that normally it runs 1.6 bar, not 1.3 - if that makes a difference im not sure

No mods at all. Ok cheers for that

That\'d be awesome. Im using BP 98 and have been since i got it

Ohh ok interesting. It just seemed strange because it wasn\'t dropping off until a few days ago. Based in howick, east Auckland

As you can tell by the title I\'m a bit of a noob when it comes to turbo cars as this is the first one I\'ve owned and I\'ve had a few issues lately. Firstly, boost was hitting 1.3bar as far as I knew. Now I have noticed its dropped back to 1bar and will decrease as I rev up. Does anyone know what is happening/may have happened? Is it a boost leak? Secondly on the weekend I took it for a cruise down country. I was in 4th/5th and when it hit 5000rpm it stopped revving up so I backed off. After this it won\'t boost anymore than 0.5bar until I turn the car off. Then it\'s back to normal. Does anyone have experience with this? Getting it serviced on Tuesday but was keen to know what to expect. Have looked in other threads but haven\'t found too much. It\'s stock in all aspects as far as I know and is an import. Thanks all

Cheers everyone. Guess it will just come down to patience!

Hi all, Recently purchased a v7 Impreza STI sedan and removed the v7 spoiler from it. Just wondering if anyone knows a good place to source a v8 wing? And if fitting it will cause me too many issues? Cheers for the help!
