thanks, called subaru, $685

is there anyway to test a afm? mine looks to be in tip top condition with no oil or grease on it...

How long has you had the filter etc on ?

Could have very well melted stuff by now....

Best of luck with it.

get them to read ur codes see if a sensor or somthing is showing a fault

ok, have had the filter on for about 10,000 kms. dont really drive it that hard and the temp gauge has never flinched. Had a comp /cylinder leak test done a few thousand kms ago and everything was fine. Will put the airbox back to stock tonight and get it put it onto a dyno to check the ratios.

I dont think itll be the airbox - as mine is stock, yet still with white blades, however worth a try for you

AFAIK octane booster can cause the exhaust housing to have a "different colour". Having said that though, I'm pretty sure it leaves a yellow/orange colour, not white.

Ill try and pull one of the plugs out and see what colour it is, that should help.

Slappy: Pls clear your inbox

And yeah octane booster leaves the exhaust housing orange
