Default First Week Delights of Scooby Ownership

Hi

Bought my first Scooby bout two weeks ago - X Reg (Nov 00) Impreza Turbo. Very pleased with the drive, but ownership so far has been colourful.

First a major problem with alarm / immobiliser -aparently Sigma set some alarms at a frequency that police and hospitals use with Tetron masts so if you happen to park near one it won't work and you're stuck until it decides to work again?!

Got that fixed by upgrading alarm unit, now have engine warning light coming on - first flashing five times then off now flashes ten times then stays on - two different error codes so far, including P0420? Have had reset twice so far doesn't take long to come back on.

Some mods under bonnet - HKS dump valve, induction kit and twiddly **** on vacume pipe to waste gate.

Can anyone recommend a tuning place that could check this out and make sure it's set up right not causing problems? Based in Cornwall but links in London.

That's useful cheers - want to put it back to standard (with standard level of boost) to avoid any problems as don't know who installed and whether they had any clue?!

Has anyone had similar experience in doing this please?!
