Hi All,

Quick question i have just changed my panel filter on my 04 WRX. I Swapped a very dirty OE one (Feathers etc and loads of grime) for a new JR panel filter.

Since then im sure something isnt quite correct with the car. The car does seem very smooth but..

It seems to boost a little until like 5k REVS and then a definite increase in boost (No Gauge) until i change at 6K.

Am i being paranoid or is this just how it is since i changed a very dirty filter to a performance one ? First time i changed the filter since adding an H&S backbox ?

Cheers

Dom

 

reset the ecu. if it was as filthy as that it might be overfueling now a little !! do a reset and try again ! ps thats a hell of a state to let a filter get to !

 

Check pipe from boost solenoid that goes back into bottom of air filter housing box you may have dislodged it

Cheers ill check the pipe. No idea why it was so dirty - It has a FSH and not due a service until March

 

slightly confused as to which pipe to check. So many of them around Any pointers ?

 

All pipes look fine. No idea what is going on. I seem to get part boost for a bit , then a bit more, then a bit more , then at 5K Revs it stops. All seems very strange as it does seem to pull well - 3rd gear seems to go on for ages.

 

Boost solenoid?

 

no idea ?? I guess the dealer would be the best option due a service in a month or so. Maybe i just panic as i blew the engine on the last scoob i had.
