I thought you meant mechanically obviously. Never mind me, carry on.
No worries. i can remember why you'd question the "reliability" of a Subaru. You were sensationally unlucky.
That is very true, ...two blown engines, two gearbox rebuilds etc etc
No not anymore.
It's a much better set up though performance wise.
The new diverter valve I've got with the GFB DV+ will open in response to both boost pressure & the ECU signal resulting in less turbo lag because the valve will not open unnecessarily like the one I had on there might have. Basically turbo lag is minimised when the valve only vents just enough air to prevent compressor surge.

So today I had a day off work and what better way to spend the morning than visiting a performance garage to have them look it over & see what they can do to my Audi should I choose to mod it in the future.
I actually went there for a specific reason (dyno power run) but in the end did something different although I'm pleased with the results. The garage I went to was TSR Performance and I had my Forge atmospheric DV taken off and a new revision G diverter valve fitted with a GFB DV+ (recirculating).
Old
New.
The car pulls much better and although I do miss the "tsshhhh" of the Forge atmospheric BOV I think this is a much better performance set up for the car.
Sorry to see that Trey but glad you weren't injured.
There was a spate of idiot kids/teens throwing bricks/stones etc off motorway bridges around the UK at one point, ...is that what happened?
As all have said it shouldn't be a write off. Just going to cost you some money to get fixed unfortunately. Good luck.
Hello Matt, if you want to turn off the EML then you need to do the "ECU reset" AKA "the pedal dance".

When I first tried it as my EML came on after adding HFC's (High Flow Cats) I was trying to use a clock with a seconds hand on it just to get the timings right but in the end counting in my head worked better. It can be a bit tricky to get right at first but stick with it as it will work.
Once you've turned the EML off though if it comes on again it would be best to get the codes read just to check that there isn't an underlying fault. Good luck.
You're welcome.
The service schedule I think is particularly useful when you're looking at used 350's as it will help you with being able to tell how correctly they have been serviced according to the age/mileage they have reached.

The "M" series lens looks the best for kudos points but then I think for practicality the white light with "BMW" is the best.
I think I'd have to go with the "M" series lens.
Another useful post as usual.
Sorry for your loss Dunks but I'm sure he'd be proud of what you've achieved.
Tough decision to make but good luck whatever you decide to do.
If it goes where I'm thinking it just fits in the cubby space just behind your heated switches.
