Mark at TDR thinks it could be down to the wastegate spring going weak.

Maybe he's saving for another holiday at your expense!

Still, would you have known it was slightly down on power? Have you been enjoying the car regardless? That's what it's all about. Don't get hung up on figures.

Had a change of mind today and ordered a set of Bilstein b14 coilovers.
They probably wont be fitted till after Xmas but they were a good price so i thought why not.

Next on the list to buy are some Grp N rear top mounts.
Then I will be looking for all the Whiteline parts to refurb the rear end.

The wastegate spring was suspect so I bought a stronger spring.
When Mark at TDR tried to take the wastegate apart to fit it one of the tiny screws had become corroded due to the water dripping in through the reverse scoop and it wouldn’t undo.So a trip to Northampton to Turbo Technics was necessary to buy a new one then back to Warwick for fitting and a map tweak. Problem solved it held its boost a lot better.
A big thanks to Mark at THWAITES for going out of his way to get me sorted.
I am not kissing **** it’s a fact !!

Cool. Glad the turbo was sorted Dave, that's good news and a nice bonus at the end of a long day then!

Have fun at Prescott.

Excellent day at Prescott quite windy but the rain stayed away.The only downside was there was only one Subaru.
Car performed well.The driver needs to improve now.
The next drivers day is not till next May.The rear suspension will be refurbished by then and a full alignment done.
I have been toying with the idea of going rotated but i must resist the temptation to spend.

Weekday events for me are nearly impossible as I have to juggle every days holiday outside of work looking after my kids, so I never get any "free" days during the week. I'll keep an eye on weekend events though as I'd love to go to a weekend one.
