Fair enough went and saw a subaru tuning company and they say it should be safe running at 1.25 bar at 340-50bhp

Does anyone know what the part number is for an 08 STI air con compressor? Any recommendations for where to buy, the main steelers want a fortune so looking for a re-conded or second hand.

Cheers for that, yeah not cheap at all I've found an American company who make non OEM ones for close to £150 plus £50 odd for import, tempted to go down that route being people rarely brake hatches.

Brand new k+n panel filter, did it before fitting this too, id just dismissed it until now as my megane did this too, worse after mapping, but it was common on them

Yes. Only said today it feels it misses at a lower speed. Thought I might get it checked at next service. Also tick over is about 500-600rpm you find the same?
At the mo I'm waiting on my car getting a roof wrap. B-)

Just been out jog my memory of what its doing, stuck in traffic which i am every second friday going to the airport, chuddling along in 2nd, as i touch the throttle as the traffic moves it jumps a tad, accelerating to 2-2.5k and letting off to coast as the traffic slows it jumps again a couple of times, having just tried it im nit so worried as it seems to be when letting off the throttle more so, but i have also noticed cruising in say 3rd in a slightly high gear for the road speed and i then go to accelerate i do get a bit of a rough spot but nit enough to be a miss fire. I will check my tick over later, reading the engine fail story's worries me but the thing im getting in traffic isnt as bad as i thought ob trying it again today, it literally feels like a jump as i touch the gas peddle and another as i let off and it slows, like the pull from the engine, going to bring my service forward a few weeks, get it compression tested too, then im bringing my decat fitting forward so can get a custom map and get it checked on the dyno, cant really afford atm but wnt a custom map asap

Ours feels a little "lumpy" is probably the closest to describe it on idle. It idles but every now and then its as if the engine shakes ever so slightly. It's fine at low and high speeds and no worrying sounds.

Mot passed yesterday with no advisories. Always good!
Interestingly the emissions with a single sports cat fitted were lower than last years mot when I had both standard cats fitted. Shows how efficient aftermarket products can be

Good stuff - how did you find the change in noise/sound from the car going from the cats to the sports cat?

I am thinking of selling my STi, it's an 08 plate with 34k on the clock and FSSH, paint work has usual road rash a couple if car park dings. Car is relatively standard apart from carbon splitter, blitz cat back, grooved discs and updated hoses.
Any idea how much I should look for?

Not as much as you'd like!
I was a bit shocked at the prices of 2008, 2009 STi's recently, silly money in my view - 12000 - 16000.
Although I suppose 5 years old now.
Have a laugh and try we buyanycar.com, use a spare e-mail addie as they mither after, then ignore their price.
Get out the auto trader or go piston heads, for sale on here etc.

Getting fed up of the silver parts in the car so its time for change
old door trims
Rejuvenated in black, tried plasti dip at first but just not durable enough so I opted for acrylic primer and satin black acrylic
all four doors are complete and back fitted in the car,
Next up the sti center console
Stripped out
Masked up & primed
Job done looks better, Time to refit
Back in its home
Next job HVAC stripped out ready to do

open up the arm rest, Lift up the fabric piece to reveal two 10mm headed bolts, remove those.
next step pull the handbrake gaitor up and out it can be a bit of a pain and you'll need a plastic trim tool to unclip it, once removed theres a screw at the front area, Remove this and remove the center console up and unplug the wiring etc.
all you do then is pull up on the center sti plastic and ull it back once the rear has come up and out it will come, you can then unplug the sti logo and unscrew it to aid painting, the gaitor for the gear leaver unclips too.
