It probably had a lot more to do with your good friends at the EPA or some similar government organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB3 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Does it have a BOV or diverter valve? Could be one of those malfunctioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funtimes Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 on the older legacy they have no bov they have a rec. i dont know about the diverter valve with is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB3 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 DV's are basically the same as the BOV's. They both release the built up pressure into the atmosphere rather than recirculating it. While I'm not familiar with turboed Subie motors I do know my way around the VAG 1.8T & 2.0T's. Are you getting any lag under throttle? Bong noise? is it metallic sounding or like rushing air? I'd check all your vacuum lines as those are prone to failure on the VAG cars. I'd also check out whatever is in there that's doing the recirculation. Throwing any codes? My guess is still that this isn't allowing the pressure to be relieved. Granted that's a guess across the internet with very little knowledge of the situation other than bong noise so take it with a grain of salt.

Sounds like the HID circuit is pulling a large initial startup load. Not sure if this is normal or not. But if its a normal thing, you could install a capacitor (as they do for audio systems) into the circuit to help out with that initial startup.

But if its a normal thing, you could install a capacitor (as they do for audio systems) into the circuit to help out with that initial startup. HIDs do require quite a bit of power to "fire up", but after they are running they don't use very much power at all. It shouldn't be enough of a drain to cause your car to bog down when they get turned on however. Sounds like you have some kind of ground problem. Do a search for "Subaru Grounding Mod" and look into doing that. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

funtimes Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 thanks ya some of my buddies said it might be a ground issue to, i looked around the car and could not find any thing, i clean the grounds but it didnt change anything im going to look up a ground kit thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted December 29, 2010 I Donated Share Posted December 29, 2010 http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=674153 Check out that link for info on the grounding mod. I know its on this forum as well, I'm just not quite sure where and I don't feel like digging it up. I had the NASOIC one bookmarked lol. Don't buy a kit. You can just use some sound system power wiring like I did. Its cheap (or free if you have extra laying around). Either way, if you do it yourself you will save a lot of money -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
