Bang on....10 then 14-15psi Took it in to a subaru specialist today (Wingers Subshop, East Tamaki)...more for the knocking noise under hard acceleration. They gave it an upper engine clean and said to ensure it is run on 98...which I have been doing for the last few weeks. But still knocking?? They also checked the air filter (which was fine) and sent me on my way..with it still knocking! They have advised me to change the spark plugs!! What that will do to the knocking.. I don't know! Looks like I will be having a few trips back to the garage before I get this resolved..but they did clarify the boost as 10 / 15psi! I thought they would have taken it straight in and investigated? To me I'm just getting excuse after excuse and no resolution. It's quite clear with the boost issues along with the knocking I've got a problem. Might try another garage...see what they think!!

Any chance someone can post a picture of this pipe in the engine bay? I'll be able to change it no problem...but don't want to make any F##k ups and change the wrong one! How much extra length should I add? Cheers

Ha Ha.... Although in saying that, last night was probably the first time I have had it flat out!! Even with this boost it was good....looking forward to the change! Any idea of the internal diameter of this pipe? I'll pick some up on my way home? I take it this just joins at both ends with a hose clip? Cheers

Should I extend the wastegate hose before I reset the ECU? or will this not make much difference?? Cheers

Got the gauge fitted on Saturday and tonights really the first time I've had a chance to really check the turbo pressures. The primary peaks about 7psi before dipping the secondary then peaks about 8psi? Not much difference really! Anyone got any idea what they should be? I've had a few replies on another thread, but thought I'd start another to get more interest. Ideally I'd like to see a little more in the primary (& secondary)...I'm sure they could cope with a few extra psi without any problem..... I was hoping about 10 then 14? Do u think this is achievable? Would it just be a case of fitting seperate boost taps and adjusting accordingly? Cheers

hmmm i always thought his one was running pretty good for that value .. could be a model as his is a 99 b4... anyway, to reset ecu there is a thread here on the topic - u have to do it by plugging in the green connectors under the dash and stuff.. or meet up one day and will use the diagnostic tool to reset the ecu for u bro Cheers Pappu... Will give you a shout soon! Garry

http://www.clubsub.org.nz/forum/index.php/topic,15930.0.html Anyone know if these will fit my 2001 B4? Could be part of my ongoing plans....

How do you clear the ECU?

Got a boost gauge fitted Saturday (Thanks)...Primary peaks at about 6-7psi ,Secondary about 11psi... Surely the turbos can cope with a little more than that? Think a boost tap will go on!!! Also, could someone post a pic for the hose to the wastegate Qwerty mentioned? Cheers

Just got one fitted on mine this morning...but no idea which line was used! Big Thanx to Pappu...you're the man!! Cheers

Hi Jord....looks good! Have you left the lip silver? Where did you get these done?

Now that's a different aspect....I like it! Thanks again!!!! Think I'll look for a painter soon..... Whats best, Spray or powdercoat? Cheers

I know I'm being a pain in the arse, but could you put a darker tint on the windows? I think this would make me decision easy! Many Thanks

Any idea how much this would cost if you don't know one???

Brilliant Flat4....many thanks. I still likte the black, but this is probably a bit much! I'll look out for a set with black / silver lip as i wanted initially. cheers

Well, just put a tin in! (garage told me where to put it)....Done exactly what it said on the tin!! Left it for 10 mins or so then started her up again..... Took it for a run.....and nothing! No black smoke? This might be a good thing, engine may have not had any carbon build up? Anyway, I'll keep an ear out for the noise. Might have just been enough to clear it! Cheers

Hi Jord.... Do You have a picture?

Cheers Smurff....will try and pick some of this up tomorrow.

Did it work?? Cheers

I've currently got standard B4 mags on my car (pics can be seen on the Trade thread) http://www.clubsub.org.nz/forum/index.php/topic,14561.0.html Been looking for black ones for a swap...but no takers! Was now thinking of getting these painted in Gloss black or Satin Finish....what's your thoughts??? Anyone any good at photoshop (or whaterver it's called)...maybe you could change them for me and send me a pic... Cheers

What do you do with this "Upper engine cleaner"? How do you do this.......... & what product did you use? Cheers

I have a similar noise from my B4...It's only done 65k. Perfectly silent on idel, but on acceleration the ticking starts..it then settles down again when cruising?? I took it back to the garage and they tried to say it was the fuel ??? I'm not convinced...

Where do you get these headlight covers??

Thanks........

If someone can PM me there email address, I 'll email the pics then they can add them...I can't do it from work.... The thread goes on to say thay no other modifications are required to achieve this...no re-mapping, etc Cheers
