Newage WRX's (UK as well) come with "Tumble Generator Valves" designed to reduce emissions at low revs....

They can stick at times ad throw CEL's.....some people get rid of them (APS do a TGV delete kit) but fooling the ECU into thinking they are still there needs a re-map

I think Butty did a post on how to clean them
