Who are the "other guys" with MY11 STi's who had 239hp before even doing anything? Did they do a dyno run before the modifications to see what they were putting out stock? I doubt it. Sounds to me...

Ok from what i can gather its an electrical fault or a gas problem , you could be short of gas therefor tripping the compressor out on LP and it may or may not have an auto reset on the LP/HP...

amtrapid liked post by Rossco On thread : which cold air intake do you have?
