So apparently the crackling issue is gone with new sparky plugs, and now clean coils, the passengers side coils were both soaked in oil. Hopefully that helps someone later if they're having the same issue. Still can't find the dodgy wiring causing the stereo to drop the rh front channel though, might be the head unit, joy.

Douh, missed this post! Yes the sound changes, and the secondary is definitely working, as it will hold 0.6-7 all the way up thurr. No idea, I'll check that right now! Boost controller has a 'T' in the wastegate line to the bottom port on the controller, as per the in-durrwebs instructions below. Worked before, so it should work now, I have tried winding it in, will make the boost less if its completely closed, just wont go over 0.7 even wound out past the clicker detent ball.

Gah, have clean that that **** out again, yay!

I will check that tomorrow, its raining now, there is beer, and I have enormous amounts of CBF. What would it be if it isn't moving?

Swore at it.

Wasn't that, dagnabbit.

Right, in test mode the secondary exhaust control valve thingy wasn't moving, so I free'd it by yanking back and forward on the actuator rod, worked mint last night, back to no boost this morning, gaaah! So I guess I have to pull that thing off and see whats making it sticky, I think its sticking slightly open, which is probably causing the issues.

Looks nice! And way cheaper than actually black-chrome wheels!

Bought some Znoelli brake pads, hopefully I wont kill them at the next track day.

Ahh, roger roger!

Where is this solenoid? I have not heard of it either.

Interesting, I'll have a squizz at mine, see how many blue marks there are on them.

If one's GTB is doing pretty much the same thing as the OP's car, but it has a manual boost controller on it, what could be causing it? As hose 23 is now blocked off it cant be doing anything wonky. It was making 1.2 bar before I changed teh spark plugs, now it wont get above .6ish, it does run a lot smoother though. Oh, the only other thing I changed was put a 0.8 pill in hose one instead of the ghetto plastic irrigation tap, but that shouldn't have changed anything?

New ball joints, steering rack bushes, and spark plugs. Glad the plugs don't need changing as often as the old Valiant ones did, cos its a major pain in the knuckles.

Roger! I knew about the turbo hoses being wrong, so they will have to be hacked a bit. Might get one of the cheap ones and report what fits and what doesn't. Also now there is both a Rev C GTB(mine) and a Rev D RSK (Kims) in teh family, can report on the differences between fitting the kit to both! Dammit, that's a lot of faffing with hoses, and a lot of coolant... And probably some bleeding, there's always bleeding.

Interesting, very interesting! So most of a WRX kit will fit, providing the main hoses are of the correct shape yah?

So, I've been looking for some silicone ancillary hose kits for my Rev C GTB of Deth, and the options are either very expensive or non-existent. However there are kits available for every model WRX under the sun sea or moon. Do any of youse guru's know if all or most of the hoses from a particular model WRX kit would fit?

Does anyone know how to identify which spring one has, ie between sedan and wagon springs, I'm guessing the wagon springs will have a bigger wire diameter, but what they actually are I have no idea!

I experimented this morning, it locks when you start the car, but if its not locked when you start moving it stays unlocked.

Roger! I thought that would be the answer.

My dirty old BF had it, somehow managed to turn it off, so hopefully its possible in a BH as well.

I say Mr Hose10 Mod guru's, on a revd with an aftermarket BOV (I think its an old model GFB), the BOV hose has some sort of factory looking joiner/ restrictor pill in it. Did they have something in that hose from factory, or is it something the BOV installer did?

Yep, thats it, me no likey. We don't live in fear of carjacking in little old NZ, so I don't see the need for it.

Does anyone know if its possible to turn off the door locking on start thing that Gen III's have?

Yep, you sure can, its as free as a free thing! I'll be there with the GTB of Deth.
