Possibly the worst fuel available for impreza turbos....

See : http://www.p1woc.co.uk/forums/showth...highlight=fuel

Bp Ultimate is only 97 guess your car was mapped for either of the 99 ron fuels?
If that is the case slap some octane booster in it or drive carefully until you put in the fuel it was mapped for.
