Another little update today. I wasn't to keen on my old gauges, so got some defis fitted today with some hel braided brake lines also.
I do have one question regarding the warning peak/bleep thingy. I wasn't to sure what to do the boost at? I've put it on 1.4 bar at the mo. Would this be correct? Car is on standard map till next month.

Look good Sam, I wanted some Defi's so so bad but couldn't justify the cost, especially as there are many other areas on my car to plough some cash in to.
Think on standard it will be 1.2 bar tops so 1.4 should be fine as a warning mark, I await a more knowledgable owners to confirm!

set 2 bar for oil low (it will get down near that at idle when its hot), 115 for oil temp and 1.4 or 1.5 for boost will be fine they tend to over read by a tiny bit anyway
 They look really good in blue

  It was a very hot day though and muggy. Normally on road I can hit 105 sat in traffic for ages, its nothing to worry about really, oil starts to break down at very high heat. far north of 120 for most synthetic oils.

Standard boost is 1.1bar so 1.4 warning will be fine.
But you may have to push it up to 1.5/1.55 after the remap. As mentioned they do over read a touch by about 0.5-0.8bar and your remap should be peaking close to 1.4.

Had a nice little delivery from the postman today. The last bits needed before remap next month.
After chatting with Rich from FB tuning the other day, I've decided to go decat all the way Stuck a bit of heat wrap on tonight (don't worry the elastic band won't be staying lol) Roll on the 19th August.

So when is the big day for the map? How comes you went de-cat in the end, I thought you had already got a sports cat down pipe?

19th of August Rob.
I've always wanted to go de-cat but didn't want to keep changing exhaust back every mot. Now I've found a very nice mot man locally to me, so that shouldn't be an issue now I never ordered sports cat in the end, was still undecided.

Good stuff, if you can find a good mot man then there is no reason not to to de-cat, especially as it's cheaper then a sports cat. Look forward to seeing your results after the map.

Tell me about it, but that bloody suspension knock may have resulted in some cash going elsewhere... I am considering going about things the same way as same and purchasing a few bits and building them up for the big day. Another down pipe is the first on my list to buy followed by an up pipe.

Well last Friday I went and spent the day with Rich at FB tuning for remap and a few parts installed:
Decat all the way through (heat wrapped down pipe) Green panel filter 3 port boost solenoid Well, what can I say.. The car feels amazing now, so much more throttle response and power. Feels like a whole new car! He worked it out to be about 340bhp now Definitely worth the 4 hrs stuck on the m25 on way back.As for Rich himself.. What a bloke! Talked me through everything he was doing and showed me ways to improve on things. He even took the time to sort out my oil pressure which has always been a bit on the low side (thicker oil and raising the idle level a little solved this) I can't recommend him highly enough! There's nothing he doesn't know about subarus. You even get to rummage through his massive amount of scooby parts lol!

He mentioned how clean your car was which is a credit to you as he doesn't dish out complements that often. You might find it makes a little more than 340

glad everything worked out well - totally agree with Rich being a great guy! Mine has its MOT this Fri - be interesting to see if the new Map helps it through the emissions (running less rich now)...fingers crossed!

To be honest though.. Whatever she makes is a bonus, the way she feels now is amazing. Wish I had it done sooner lol. Need to find a quieter exhaust for track days now though

Glad all went well and you are happy with the results. Once I get my suspension sorted seeing Rich at FB is next on my list, once a few more mods to accommodate the remap have been purchased.

As CJ says quiet ones are a little more restrictive generally (not always though if you scale up the width at the same time) most of the time you'll lose a tiny bit of flow at the top and it will want a tweek

You may need to back the timing off a touch as a free flowing system allows a touch more advance as the heat gets out quicker.
It depends how close to detonation it's running on the current map. Normally swapping around various manufacturers stainless systems makes no discernible difference. Popping a standard cat back on or a sports cat can cause det due to the flow restrictions.

Nice one Sam. I remember when I had the hawk decatted and mapped. It was bloody scary for the first few miles lol. screamed, popped and pulled like a b****d. I did end up changing the afterburner in the end. I loved the noise it made but it was pretty antisocial!. I also seem to remember you saying you were going to stay standard engine wise lol
