If anything it should increase with colder air intake, so i dont think its an ECU adjustment to the boost pressure. I gave it a boot full this morning and I'm pretty sure I heard a faint whistle when it was underload/boosting so it sounds like im chasing a vacuum leak somewhere.

Has anyone experienced a reduction in their peak boost? Prior to my most recent service 2 weeks ago (major, including new plugs) i was hitting 1.48-1.5x100 kPa, now im barly hitting 1.3. Previous peaks were over summer so much warmer air, now im in ambient air of ~10 degrees. Fuel is the same...

Not sure what the dealer has done to yours, very odd. I put a kenwood unit in mine a few months ago and the side view camera works with the new unit, the old unit and even without a head unit at all.

Ive just had mine serviced at Subaru Docklands and got told my CVT pump is starting to weep. Not enough to stain my garage floor yet though. MY2017 and second owner so no hope of warranty. Have only had the car for 5k and pre purchase inspection didn't find anything despite them checking it...

The car comes with a bypass valve already fitted (a bpv is a bov that vents back to the intake rather than to atmosphere). The car is also a MAF based system, so you will absolutely need a tune for it to run properly. Even then it can only compensate for some of the richness you'll experience...

It's got a better power band than the FA20 does though. Here it's being called the WRX Sportswagon. Im interested to see if they a) offer it in manual (unlikely) and b) what the upgrades to the CVT are for the new Subaru Performance Transmission will be. If it's a more rugged trans then it gives...

Thanks robo. Ill get the HU swap done first and then worry about the speakers. edit: its still confusing from the details I can find online but it looks like theres been two HK packages. 2016-2018 - the standard and starlink/nav HU by Subaru with an optional HK speaker upgrade and 2019-2020...

Hi guys, Has anyone (specifically guys from AU I guess) got a way of identifying the Harman Kardon package? I have a MY17 without any HK branding on the speaker grills, but my stock headunit is a starlink nav unit. Before I start pulling things apart is there any other external way of IDing the...

Picked this up on tuesday. Loving it so far! Ill miss the manual from my foz but pretty much nothing else

Handy, they are just around the corner from work

Haha thanks guys. Probably the good reason i've had to ask is there doesn't seem to be any major systemic issues with them. Ill add Niodaches points to my check list and see how I go. Im in Melbourne and have seen plenty of locals complain about the stock suspension. Ill have to give what ever I...

Hi Guys, e On the hunt for a second hand levorg at the moment. Having had a good browse through here and a few other subaru forums there doesn't seem to be any out of factory issues that are huge problems across the board for the Levorg. Are there any areas I should pay particular attention to...
