Have you tried data logging with the G3?

It's called getting used to the power.

Thats why we keep modding

That being said, there is a range of things you can do to ensure that your car is still running A-OK and its merely your "butt dyno" that has failed.

1. Check for vacuum leaks and loose connections
2. Ensure boost is the same
3. Ensure that your exhaust and intake aren't blocked
4. AFR check and compression test if you're really really worried.

if you think there is something wrong with the car take it back to RMS...no one can diagnose the problem from the forum

Put the car back to standard! Start from scratch again. Then wack on the Exhaust, Intercooler & then back it up with a verso!

I don't know abt the rest of the crew on the forum but when my car is cold in the morning it idles at just over 2000 RPM but when it warms up it sits below 750RPM and is smooth as!

was also 'comparing' it to a mates stock wrx and his car keeps up if not goes a little bit better than mine even tho i should have 30+ kw over him.

also when i start the car, it idles from about 200 rpm to 1000 rpm until the engine warms up, and sometimes when it has warmed up.

not sure what it is.

im guesssing it could possibly be a spark plug thats gone.

any one have had a similar case? any suggestions.

maybe the plugs?

Got an after market BOV? Mine did the same and gradually got worse ... ended up the piston inside was worn ... cheap fix is to pull it apart give it a bit of a clean and your set again for a while, it'll buy you time to get another one.
