Who here owns a Subaru?

No, I have bought a VF43 for the time being. Hoping it's a good one, fitting it tomorrow night and will get a remap in before the RR day.

Once I get mine back I will swap it out and the VF43 will likely be for sale.
 
Some good advice above!

Parts... if you're buying new, try to contact people like Roger Clark MotorSport or similar, anyone who can source genuine parts. They can normally get them cheaper.

The new 4 door is a great car, still needs more power though :D

I've had a week of literally working on the car most evenings, in the dark, in the cold, and having multiple set backs! But... I think I'm back on track, just a few more things to sort and hopefully I'll be alright to run at the Powerstation RR day.
 
FPR fitted, and then mapped at RCM.

Will save the result for now as the dyno day is on Saturday and Powerstation is my choice for figures as I've had many runs there.

My neutral position sensor is faulty though, causing my AVCS to not function right, so I am missing a chunk of power/torque low down which is annoying, but once replaced I will get it checked over again.
 
My neutral position sensor is fubared so lost a lot low down and a bit all over. Plus I have had it mapped so it takes a little bit longer to spool but holds a lot more up top.

So combined with that and the broken NPS I can't really compare spool.

I will say what power it made when I get it on the dyno at Powerstation as I do all my runs there, so it's a better comparison. I'm happy given the NPS though :)
 
Centre section, no remap need.

Downpipe - ideally get a remap, although I ran mine for a while without and it seemed fine.

Worth the extra performance in my eyes, although a Sports Cat will keep you MOT friendly.
 
One of mine from a meet on Sunday:

Whats the pickup/lag like with the 43?

It makes more power... everywhere! Surprisingly!

And that is despite me telling my mapper to hold back the boost low down so I can have a bigger rush up top. It would have easily hit 1.55bar at a bit about 3200rpm. Instead It hits 1.3ish bar boost at 3000rpm then he lets it come back on boost properly about 4250rpm.

The VF35 was pretty much on full boost straight away, but despite that, it made less torque and less power at the same revs.

Drives just how I want it, old school turbo rush sensation of coming on boost late and hard whilst actually maintaining decent low down power and torque.

Not going to complain for a turbo that I bought as an emergency for £200!
