Default Anybody know much about 98 subaru sti

since i have put the 3dr away for the winter,been getting bored driving my 1.8 diesel fiesta,so decided to buy a 98 subaru sti ,its a standard car with one cat removed and a exhaust,can anyone tell me what boost it should be running,its running 1.3 bar which i think is too much,should it be run around a bar.

Just a quick question that one of you might know the answer to. Mine has got the blue Subaru alarm fob. Its a standard fit alarm on a MY 2000, where can i get another fob from? Its also got the keypad if that helps identify which alarm model it is.

That should be a sigma one Nath and you can get them on ebay

To answer the original question unless it has been remapped 1.3 bar is too high and might be the cause of the previous blow up.

Any idea what model it is. I've asked on Scoobynet but not had the right answer and its been hinted that not all sigma fobs are the same

Just do a search on ebay for sigma fobs and find one that looks the same, that's what I did and it worked fine once I'd had it coded in.
