I know its not much consolation but when I had my JDM Sti with twin scroll I really missed the burble. It sounded more like a motorbike....mind you it was mighty quick - thanks to API remap! Hope everything works out OK and for whatever reason your engine was changed I hope you have a decent reliable scoob

sounds to me like engine went bang, they got a cheap uk one to sell it on.

def go back to seller and talk to them, trading standards will be all over it, but be better if you can sort it before it gets to that stage
