Default scoob running problem
as per title, I've a 1993 wrx, had to change the up pipe. Car went well for a couple of days then, I put my foot down to pull out of a side road got to 3000rpm car noise dived and plumes of black smoke came out of exhaust. Then car was lumpy and hard to keep going... WHEN CAR IS STARTED COLD SOUNDS OK, But when warm is lumpy. disconnected cam and crank sensors, turn it over so it does fire up not, and sounds fine, no piston slap or any other sounds. don't know what else to do as tried compression test. all 4 cylinder's the same

does it always do it or was it a one-off ?

IOf you can get it to do it again, try accelleratign gently at 3000K and see if it's ok then. if so, then I would say coil packs

Be interesting to know what it was hopefully nothing too much. only other thing I thought was if you changed up pipe you probably had intercooler off, and your symptoms are very similar to when my intercooler pipe popped off.

Early pipes are brittle and crack when disturbed.

As Rob says above, sounds like a possible boost leak with the I/C pipes. I've had similar.
