Need more power
Hi guys I've noticed that my Impreza is lacking power, also turbo kicks in about 3000 to 3500 rpm's which I'm thinking is late.
Obviously need to look at why turbo is kicking in late but is there anything I can do? Regarding mods under the bonnet?
I think it's mapped but not sure, the chap who I bought the car of kept it in garage for well over a year and didn't use it.
My car
Subaru Impreza Catalunya 2.0 Turbo 1997 P
Uk spec Classic
Thanks in advance

Unless it's had ESL or some kind of stand alone ECU fitted you can be sure it's not been mapped. Mine is a 97 UK Turbo and was told all the ****e by the previous owner that it was mapped and blah blah blah.Turns out it had a manual boost controller and a stupid fuel cut defender fitted. I didn't know anything about Imprezas at that stage.
Open up the ECU for a look. If it's a standard ECU it'll most likely say 8S on the metal case. Just in case you don't know where it's located, it's below the carpet in the passenger side front footwell below a metal plate. Can be accessed easily in 5 minutes.
