I am new in the Subaru world, I have recently bought a 1999 Imprezza Turbo which is totally standard.
When I accelerate hard, and the revs get to about 4k, the car seems to splutter and cough til about 5-5.5k revs then all is ok.....has anyone got any ideas.....of what this could be.....
Many thanks

2 things spring to mind
i am fairly new myself and also with an MY99 scoob
i had similar problem and changed 2 things
the main culprit could be the MAF sensor - have you got an induction kit - if so put it back to standard
Changed my MAF and cured problem
But on a side note i put an aftermarket stereo in mine and then it didnt seam to idel as smoothly, put original back in problem solved, i know 2 other scoob owners that have had similar probs too, maybe the alternator is a weak point.
But i susspect MAF.
