I'm going to plumb the compressor cover line straight into the wastegate, this will determine what pressue the actuator is set at.
From this I can see If I have enough pre-load on it and go from there.

-suggested from Steve @ AVO.

I just plumbed the compressor to the wastegate - did a 4th gear pull & it was pretty much smack bang on 1 bar.

BTW - phantom CEL was off on the way home from work, now its up again.

so looks like its purely the stock ecu (aka no tune for mods) thats makin it very laggy, but its good to know the actuator is correctly setup.

btw - I have reset my ecu just then - and within 10 seconds sitting on idle - the mysterious CEL came back on. Really farkn weird :S Doesnt show up in Ecuexplorer's codes


EDIT: Looks like ecuexplorer isnt fully developed to read every CEL code.. and the only other alternative is to get subaru to scan it. which i'l have to do.

Error code: P0130 Front Oxygen Sensor Circuit Malfunction

is this the 02 sensor that sits in the headers before the turbo?
Read AFR?

not "smashing" & meth is turned off, just headers & vf34/p20... not to mention runs wastegate pressure (doesnt go more than 1 bar).

Dead 02 sensor is most likely the new headers which are coated & wrapped, excessive heat? mayb.

I have heard of ceramic coating killing oxygen sensors while the coating is still fresh (not yet baked on). I was recommended to put an old sensor in until the coating was baked on. This could be the cause of the problem?

Nah its not, I just poked my head under the car and found that the white wire has been torn off the sensor

Gotta unscrew it and try solder it back on this weekend.
