a mate of mine has a M plate wrx but running wise ok until it reaches 6000 rpm and then sort of misses (struggles as if it is cutting out) and then carries on as normal at 6500 onwards...?
Had it serviced - new plugs but still no joy..Used Optimax/SUL still nothing...
Any clues?

I had a problem like this when I had a Golf 16V, turned out to be the ignition coil, which got replaced after the other one got water in it. The garage replaced it with a cheap one, the local tuning place spotted it straight away.
If this kind of thing can happen on a scoob' then one of them HT pulse measuring things should be able to find it. It only cost me the price of a pint.

The CEL error code will be stored in the ecu's memory...it's quite important 
Black connectors under the dash by steering column, turn on ignition & CEL will flash long-short sequences.

RAF1,
CEL = check engine light. When it flashes, it's because the ecu has registered a faulty sensor (or faulty input/response from one). Even when the light goes out, the error is still stored in the ecu.
You can use the connectors under the dash to read it out, but if you're not sure get the car to a Subaru dealer and ask them to use the Select Monitor to check for stored errors (or buy DeltaDash if it's >my99).
Personally, I wouldn't be WOT'ing a car that was hesitating at those revs.....
