Engine management light flashing on at high revs
Car is a JDM Impreza STi v7 (2001)
When driving the car hard and taking it up to around 7k the engine management light will flash for a split secound. Any ideas what could be causing this?

No Apexi power FC and it's not the shift light unfortunatly!
The light that comes on is this light
It only comes on when driving it hard and taking it to around 7k rpm...

could be a fair few.. but I'd put money on neutral position sensor..
but regardless you need to check the error codes.. needs plugging into laptop or select monitor or obd2 etc..

I get this on my bugeye MY02...... likely to be the Bugeye random CEL generator. LOL
I bet the ECU has stored / historic codes for camshaft position sensor error, Neutral position switch errors tend to throw up lots of misfire CEL's.

The random misfire codes can be have their sensitivity adjusted via ecutek remap.
If the car has an exhaust and filter it should be mapped anyway.
Usually see error codes for misfire cylinder X and no code. Where X is usually 1,2,3 4.
