Default RCM Today: 102k service and new MAF! Gulp! How much? lol

As per title I was at the new premises of RCM today for a service and fault finding mission on my 03 WRX which seems not to want to boost to the full 1.5 bar it was mapped at. Anyway, long story short and one new MAF later the car is boosting 0.2 more than it did but will test more tomorrow on my run out. All I can say is FFS how much is a MAF??? LOLz0rs. oh f'ing hell, f' me, f' it. Wow. I was god smacked at the price.
RCM new place looks mint. Well smart with the Dyno Dynamics RR awaiting the final setup, etc. The room that is in is good.
I feel a lot happier now my car is back on its summer wheels (Oz) and Sessantas
A look at the new shell of the upcoming new Gobstopper or whatever it may be called! Apart from that, a very nice P1 on the ramps and another smart Hawkeye STi outside. I am glad I had mine cleaned before I went, you could eat off the floor in that place it is spotless. Well impressed.
To the P1 owner if you read this, what were you doing under the car when it was up on the ramp with the wheels driving? LOL.
Looked like you were cleaning something? (Sorry, I am nosy)

Like he said!
Oh and i forgot to mention above, 2 new sidelight bulbs, hahaha.
Now they did break the bank.......................not.
My only frustration now will hopefully be proved ok after my "test" tomorrow.
Otherwise I have a phone call to Mr Rawle to make and ask where might I find my boost which has run off!

RCMS fitted my Aquamist methanol injection kit and EXE TC suspension plus a few other bits many years ago. I wanted to get the car to 400 BHP (which was the magic figure back then LOL)

400 BHP cars are ten a penny nowadays
