    Well in 5th gear all WRX's are factory tuned to a low amount of boost say... 8 psi. It is designed to not overboost. It does not seem to be a speed limiter due to being able to push it further. When you get the code tomorrow PM me what it is. I am getting pretty good at fixing other peoples mess ups on their subies.

    And as for the whole myth of the 02s having a glass tranny someone should read a thing or two. There are numerous big hp subies that are still on the stock tranny. It is all about how you drive it. Most of the time if the tranny does break it is due to the shaft vibrating when going into second gear.

    lol He could just disconnect the battery and reconnect it to reset the ECU.

    Got milk, I would go to an advance auto parts or autozone and have them check your check engine code. Write it down and do some research on it around Wrxatlanta or Nasioc. I think it's a fuel cut, hopefully it's nothing serious.

    I was just informing him of the tranny so he doesnt do anything crazy that may cause it to break. I am over 340 tq now and still on my stock tranny so I do know they will survive if driven responsibly.
