Be nice to the Scooby.

If it's the same bugeye WRX wagon you posted pics of earlier, tell him to go easy on his tranny. Those 5speeds they put behind the EJ205s are sensitive. Many people put a...

Does it hit 8 and slowly climb higher? If so, you have boost creep. Could mean your wastegate isn't big enough, or it's not opening as much as it needs.

If it Hits 9, 10, etc, then comes back down...

Did you figure out what your low boost problem was? Leak or wastegate?

If the turbo is taking too long for spool and / or it's not making as much boost as you should be, I would check to make sure the wastegate isn't stuck a little open, or that the arm isn't binding on...

And how full of carbon and soot is the back of your engine compartment now?

Step 2:
Remove oil pan.


Other than that, perfect write up! Deserves to be stickied imho.

Ohhh to be young again. I'm the guy that has the 3" exhaust and revs it up on purpose to wake up her parents.
<-- Arse.

If you're running too rich for the operating conditions (air temp, amount of load, etc), you could be running into a rich misfire. Read the plugs after that happens, and I would also check the plugs...

Looks almost exactly the same as my new wheels - just mine is a sedan with the factory widebody.

I apologize chief - personal life has been kicking the ---- outta me. 2 jobs, buying a car, selling a car, and moving into a place that doesn't have internet access has killed me.

Pin 30 - Fused power from battery
Pin 85 - Ground
Pin 86 - Switching trigger (Switched +12)
Pin 87 - +12 output (When the relay is closed). Some relays have 2 outputs, and the second can be named...

I will get it 100% tonight for sure! I'm at the wife's tonight, so I'll make sure to grab my netbook. Been busy as hell with my WRX.

Reclocking a turbo is the process of loosening a few bolts, and...

You can always reclock the turbo and have you turbo outlet pointed down further.

Could always do the old school egg white trick :P

Could always pull a valve cover. The milkshake goodness usually builds up on the insides of them too.

Aren't our IACs spring loaded so they should remain closed if something weird happens?

Also - I'll make sure to grab those wiring specs tomorrow. Apologies - been busy working and buying a new...

Most of the wires in the DIY supplied MS2 harness are 18awg with the exception of injector drivers - which I believe are 14. I prolly be back out int he shop later on, so I'll take a look at my...

Auto gets old real quick when you have driven manual for such a long time. Glad to hear your leak is fixed up!

Of course my Netbook is at my GFs place when I need it.. Either way - 2 in, 4 out. I believe +12V is a 14awg Red wire, and there are three out from that - 1 for Acc (Blk/Wht), 1 for Key Forward (On...

I have the pinouts for the steering column kicking around at home, if you would like them. Specifically what wire is Acc, Key forward, and start position.

What the gauge displays and the lamba reading are the same - so if the sensor isn't reading properly, the tune would be being based off its reading as well, so you would feel it and see it on the...

One thing you have to remember as well is that heated O2 sensors can take some time to warm up evenly and read properly. I think the temperature they need to reach is something like 250 C, so on...

That cross over looks like it would put the turbo high turbos the back of the car, or high towards the front - not sure which direction it would go -- assuming rearwards.

Since you're planning to drive in the winter, and the case of the MS2 isn't weather proof, I would highly suggest inside the cabin. Helps keep the temperature moderated a bit better, and much less...

Mine is also ran through the grommet under the drivers side of the dash. It's also one of the safest places as it's not near anything hot or dangerous to it. And you can still access it with the dash...
