Calling the wingers clubsubbers..!

Well the countless people who have done the mod must have delt to that surely. Regardless, by the sounds of thing, a TGV delete prolly wouldn't be the best for your friend. Unless it came down to a delete being cheaper than fixing it back to stock should it play up again...

I think if you plug the ECU into a laptop, you can delete the CEL codes to stop them popping up.

Deleting trouble codes is better documented for the american models than ours.

It might take a bit of code dissasembly and interperating to figure which bit of data to rewrite. It can be done though, the trouble codes are relatively easy to locate.

Those valves are to make the cars idle better. I'd suspect they will idle roughly with the standard tune if you take them off. Subaru wouldn't put a $1200 valve in there if they'd idle ok without it.

yer i dunno if i said.. but the stupid check light came on again.. i can only assume its the tumbler valve codes again..

I will be looking for new sensor/motor/valves assembly i think and replace the passenger side bank

Hope my friend has $$, looks like those fuckers are $$.

My first problem is that STI's didnt have these right.. nor most WRX/STI's from V7 here in Nz... thus tracking down some second hand ones is going to be difficult

the stock v7 wrx has the TGV's,....easier to just remove them & have the code deleted for $100* (may vary) by your local tuner

**I wish that was the route I took with my sti swap, rather than spend a few hundy on adding them onto the sti manifold, ahh but we live n learn. (or spend n regret)

There is a pdf called "04_dtc_criteria" here....

That has drawings of what is in the valve actuator and sensor and what the fault code setting criteria are.

Perhaps that might help get a handle on what has gone wrong.

It could be that you can get either a remanufactured unit or get yours repaired. have a look or contact these guys... http://www.anythingelectronic.co.nz/other.asp?menu=1

Disabling the trouble codes should be fairly simple if you can get an ecu rom map and a cable to burn it.
