Default Rev's increase when changing gear

Anyone have any ideas on this one :

When I floor the clutch to change gear I notice that the revs increace slightly. Almost like a little blip of the throttle - is this normal ?

Car is a 2003 WRX

Yes....its normal when u are used to other cars....

Because of the boost and dump valve actuation, u need to lift off the gas a little before hitting the clutch for changing gears. Try and you'll get used to...and find that sweet spot of time between lifting off (slightly) and clutching in

I agree with nunosm on this one! I own a MY03 WRX and you will get it right i am sure
But it is bloody annoying when you dont isnt it? LOL. Makes you sound like a right n00b driver.

Mine does it too... but I keep a bit of throttle on during the change anyway... seems to help prevent any serious lag.
