hey, i am gettin that problem too. that light comes on when i hit boost cut but i have put a fcd in my car but still comes on when i hit boost cut because its not tuned properly. once that light comes on then u have to drive off boost for bout 40 secs then it turns itself of however if u try to run on boost the car will jerk. its dodgy but i am gonna go see someone to get me fcd tuned so my car runs correctly.

your hitting boost cut for a reason. The fuel cut defender is probably letting ur engine run lean.

fcuk ya.. bulbs dont make no difference

mr_psi, na i didint want to hit boost cut again, car goes farking violent on me.
so no, no boost cut there.

Greg might be right.
I think its the vacumm lines that I changed recently.
I got aftermarket color ones to replace the fuel regulator vacumm lines.
I just switch them back, havent drive the car yet though.

Does vacumm lines on the bov cause problems ?

I also hear rumours that Malpassi Fuel Regulator farks the car ?

engine goes bang!

lean = when the car is not getting enough fuel and hence detonation can occur, which can melt/damage your pistons, internals, etc

I had to change them back
I found out that there is a big difference in size with the stock and the aftermarket vac lines.

Woohoo, drove the car earlier, its back to normal..
Backfires again HEHE

But damn, I still need to head down to Melville Subaru, made a booking and its too late to cancel..
