I just got an invoice also sorry, plus Bob Rawle looked at the car with regards the map. Even though he didn't do anything I imagine I was charged for his time.
Had some camber bolts also and the bill was about £300 iirc.

Bob mapped my car yesterday and kindly sent through the below graph. It's still with Chevron for more suspension tinkering. I can't wait to pick it up tomorrow
Engine mods for the below are:
Turbo back heat wrapped Milltek Twinscroll exhaust
Walbro fuel pump
3 Port boost solenoid
Cosworth panel filter
Bob Rawle Racerom remap (High/Low boost settings, launch control, FFS, Auto-blip on downshift & in gear boost control)

What 3-port did you go with as need to pick one up myself

It was sourced & fitted for me by Chevron.
Chevron also sourced and fitted the Hatch specific Walbro pump they recommended over the RCM one I had bought. They also prefer the K&N panel filter to the Cosworth one.
I trust Simon 100% and followed his advice & don't regret it at all.

I wasn't sure so have just been out to take a look and it says Pierburg on it

Simon is a lovely guy. He was busy as hell when I collected my car getting ready for a Time Attack weekend at Brands but still showed me around his place and we had a good chat about cars in general.

I was finding my car wouldn't get the miles to a tank I expected. With the help of Bob Rawle and Andy Clark of AC Speedtech it was clear I needed a new front Air/Fuel sensor.
Andy Clark could see what the sensor was doing (using Ecutek)and it was taking a long time to heat up. Great service from Andy, booked me in at short notice diagnosed the fault + 2 cups of coffee and no charge
I got the correct part number thanks to The Don Clark. One of his old posts was also assuring:
Ordered through ICP and it arrived the next day.
Andy Clark fitted it and logged the car again and mentioned the Advance Multiplier was at 0.75 and he'd done plenty of runs that would usually bring it back 1....... Andy said it would probably just take a little more time & so did Bob.
Andy and basically every GTR owner that I met in the AC Speedtech waiting room recommended the ECU Connect Ecutek bluetooth dongle. So I got one delivered. But couldn't get it to power up from the OBD port. Ecutek customer support was awesome, I got a message from Paul Blamire which made me feel really special . The issue was my OBD port, when plugged into another car it works spot on. So I powered it with a powerbank and was good. I'll get the OBD sorted soon.
The ECU Connect app is really easy to use, I've only played with it a little but my advance multiplier was already at 1 and the log I sent to Bob was all good.
Ecutek have sent Bob some beta updates so he can add more functionality and RaceRom goodies to the map/app. Like live adjustment of launch control, valet mode etc.
0-60 1st attempt, it was a little slippery with DCCD in Auto, traction control on, no LC or FFS:
My Km/h to mph conversion is out & I'm sure I was slowing down before it beeped

A very nice car
Infact after seeing yours in the flesh I’d honestly have a 2.0 sti hatch anyday as a daily better than a golf bloody diesel anyday
Superb result mate

If you'd like I could send you the ECU Connect by post and you could do a log which might help diagnose the problems?
Bob's map on mine drives awesome, seems to be giving a good MAF voltage/ using plenty of grams/s etc. Most importantly the Advance Multiplier is exactly where it needs to be.
PM me your address and I'll post it out, just send it back when you're done

Moral of the story:
Bob's maps and customer service are excellent.
AC Speedtech are 10/10 also and highly recommended
Ecutek again are awesome, with rapid replies from legends of the Subaru world.
ECU Connect is very handy to check everything is A-OK.
Next plans for me is to save up some money and get some decent suspension from Chevron.The Cusco on now are letting the car down.
I had to park on an average kerb, but with the Cusco needing to be so low it scratched my splitter which resulted in a crack to the bumper Any higher and they're too close to the bump stops. With only 80mm total travel they're not very useful.

With the ECU Connect you can see how long it takes for the sensor to get going = if it needs changing. If was in your shoes I'd rather spend the money on the ECU Connect than the sensor. I'm sure it will still work for logging even though your OS mapped, but email/facebook message ecutek to confirm.

Yes and with the twin scroll it comes after the turbo..........

A change in downpipe and careless handling of it could be an additional potential reason it has failed.
@Abbas, what suspension does Simon recommend for these cars?
Let us know what was the issue with the OBD port.
Thanks
