what is wrong with my engine?
hi folks. i have recently bought a 2003 wrx turbo privately which was a european import. when i drive the car the power seems to be pulsing. it is worse at 3/4 throtle than full. i have checked all pipe work,changed the boost cont.sol., checked the air filter checked the idle valve,wast gate operation. has anyone got any ideas?? many thanks

Give the boost solenoid a clean again, if you just replaced it it could have been contaminated straight away when you drove it.
I have had to do several MY01-02 cars 3 times before it cured the pulsing on power also make sure the oil is below max when the car is hot.
