Hi all

Ive had my car for a few weeks now and it kept boosting rather aggressively and then the engine management light would come on.

on deeper inspection i found one of the hoses had a screw inside it (picture attached)

now this would have needed to have been forced in as it wouldn't get in there n its own !!!!

i take it this screw is not suposed to be in this hose !!!!

if you look above also i have lined the screw up as it was in the hose and the bulge can be clearly seen !!! (also car is a 2004 WRX on a 54 plate)

 

Looks like someone removed / misplaced the restriction pill and tried to fix it by placing a screw inside the pipe instead.

 

the other hose has the restrictor pill in place this is the hose to the waste gate actuator
