Does anyone know where I can find a guide on how to replace the LH and RH outer guards on my 1996 v2 WRX (take the old guards off and put the new ones on)? The ones I\'ve got on there at the moment are quite rough and I\'ve managed to score some replacements.

Thanks dude... this helped heaps. I took it apart and found that there was some shorting on the board and tidied all that up and it appears to be behaving itself now :-)

That\'s what happens with a newborn... no sleep and suddenly I\'m cleaning AFM\'s with brake fluid... ;D I was going to use meths because that\'s what I use to clean PC bits when I\'m modding, but figured I\'d do some research first and every single vid or post I found was with someone using brake cleaner, so I gave it a shot and it came up really nice and clean. I also noticed a black mark on one of the plug prongs and the same corresponding hole, which I cleaned up too. Nothing\'s changed in ages in this car. It just started being an asshole. I took the Jspeed tune out and swapped it with my other rexy\'s Link, eliminating the need for the AFM, and it ran just fine. When I put the Jspeed into my other rexy and the AFM with it, i replicated the same problem and that\'s how I figured it was the AFM. So I cleaned it and that still didn\'t work and that\'s why I\'m on here. Now that I\'ve typed this out, I\'m pretty sure it\'ll be that electrical short that\'s gone further than the plug and time for a new AFM... damn my selling my spare a few years ago! thoughts?

I\'ve got a 1996 WRX V2 wagon and the car hesitates (especially when cold). It\'s not the normal spluttering hesitation, but an epic hesitation where I can no longer accelerate and I have to pull over and stop. The revs drop and the car stalls when I stop or take the car out of gear. I wait a little bit and the car starts fine and I can take off again. It does this a few times until it\'s warm and then it doesn\'t do it anymore. I\'ve tried cleaning the air flow meter and plug with brake fluid because I thought that\'s what the issue is, but it\'s still doing it! Any ideas??

As the title suggests... does anyone know?

Thanks everyone... was the new chip afterall. Tried a Mines ECU out and it goes like a rocket

How?

Anyone???

I noticed this was plugged up on my mrs. car (we got it like that) and I wonder why it would be?

Oh and it's gone into a v2 GF8 and it's a 16g TD05H

I've just put in a td05h with a chip to run it up to 16psi. I was running a different chip up to 17psi no worries on my Td04 before. Now I have hesitating issues with car around 12psi when it suddenly surges up to about 19psi and drops back to 16psi. I've had new coils fitted and the spark plugs gapped by Subaru & Misubishi Evo Performance Specailists in East Tamaki. They ran a fuel test on it and said there were no issues with leaning out and the guy there said it was running a little rich but nothing to be worried about. The sparks are also platinums and only 2 months old. They also fitted my GFB BOV for me. It's especially bad in 1st gear and gets less noticable through the gears. The pod filter is new and isn't really obstructed by anything. I've got a green sticker AFM.

And what does it do?

I have factory headers and put them back on... still working out some issues with the new turbo but getting there!! Have you done anything to yours?

All I'm worried about is spool time. I'm fitting a TD05H and I know they can be laggy if measures aren't taken to counteract this.

which is 3" all the way 8) I thought better headers caused turbos to spool sooner?
