    What do you consider well priced? I've got a brand new Bosch 0258017025 LSU 4.9 sitting here if you need one in a pinch. $135 

    Otherwise something like this might be the treat https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Replaces-0258017025-Compatible-Wideband/dp/B07L2S3JRG/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=Bosch+0258017025&qid=1551315909&s=gateway&sr=8-4

     

     

    do the "replacement" sensors work any good (worth the monies?

     

     

    the AEM leaflet says does not need free air cal but is it worth a try at all?

    mine reads ultra lean and then spikes rich and normal for a second then back to lean

    Driving to work this morning and the engine light comes on. Code p1410 - Secondary air valve. Are there any quick fixes to this? Other than ripping the system out. Supposed to be driving to Auckland on Wednesday so hoping something can be done before then. Is it going to cause any issues if i keep driving the car? 

    the code can be deleted and you can remove the items when you can later

    done that to a few cars

  3. therre are also hoses and vacume lines in the BBoD thats on the strut tower - make sure all atre intact

    usually underside - there is a actuater under the intercooler check that as well..

    a workshop can do a inlet pressure test in case its leaking boost from somewhere

    the vf33 sounds like secondary i believe (vf32 being the primary for u)

    @Pappu1 can sort you out with a road tune which is probably all you need for this car.

     

    Not familiar with Auckland ones myself. SubaruSpeed.co.nz has two sedan ones for $125 so imagine that's about the going rate for them.

    Partsworld.co.nz is a nationwide chain of wreckers which is probably a good place to start.

     

    Not sure on the antenna for 3rd gen wagons. 4th gens have then in the rear glass so would guess they’re there too.

     

    had a similar issue in a TT before where ti issue trned out to be a faulty primary turbo - have you had it checked for functioning turbos and leaks etc>?

  5. i have done the following in the past :

     

    set a boost switch to a timer circuit.

    that way the spay continues a few seconds after the boost event (gear change)

    set the boost switch to low trip (say a few psi)

     

    in an additional step, you can add a temp switch that only allows circuit activation on higher intake temps (saves on some water)

     

    but the initial setup (despite being hard on water use) is good for a all round spray setup that works well

  6. not really i guess - maybe just downpipes and hose 10 mod and boost controller and using some knock detection/afr logging equipment, safely up the boost..

    that could be an alternate 

    but for that is not a tune as such - more of a safe boost setup 

    have done that for a few cars where ecu was not accesible

  7. after remap - whatever the engine is happy with.

    if its healthy sometimes 18/19 at high point

    or even 20 then settles lower in high rpm..

    all depends on the health of the engine

     

    do basic things like service and perhaps a spark plug, also do an upper engine cleaner as well

    replace your fuel pump and filter so you have good fuel flow

  8. as above.. ecu swap needs to be accompanied with loom and some sensors and few other bits..

    the rev c may be tuned on ecutek which is what they would potentially use.

     

    if you are wanting some cheap gains then just the exhaust system makes for a decent pull 

    perhaps a zerosports sequential controller helps with VOD

    some people dot the parallel turbo mod (hose 10 mod i believe its referred to) and up the boost a bit..

  9. the ecu controls it

    it can use a few inputs like rpm, temp,boost, speed etc and then based on conditions it will spray

    the sprayer can be tuned to suit

    usually if im doing a reflash on stock top mount, i will make it have more aggressiveness the spray

     

    unsure on the GC8 parameters but thats what the GDB has above

  10. i did this to my old RA - had a remote start to allow for warming up

    was great and really good for cold mornings..

    only issue was that  - one time the alarm got stuck and would not stop engaging the starter motor

    i though i would burn the starter off as it kept starting the car despite me turning it off 

    maybe was a glitch ..who knows but i stopped using that feature after that....
