    So you probably know I have to go to court Monday for a faulty tag light and face a $185 fine for it so I need to get this thing fixed. I swapped the bulbs out and they are still out. Any ideas where I need to target to find the problem? The fuses are not blown BTW.

    damn, i knew you had a problem with them back when we were swapping your motor, but i didn't hear you got pulled over for them.

    it has to be faulty wiring if the fuses and bulbs aren't the culprit. that or a relay...?? i don't know i HATE electrical work.

    Fuse okay?

    I hate the tag lights, they're a pita to remove -- are you sure they're plugged in all the way?

    So the first thing I do this morning to get started is begin pulling the bumper off. What a PITA, especially when all you have to work with is a tiny flat head screwdriver and a 10 mm wrench. Guess what I find when I get it off... unplugged.

    I'm still puting it all back together so hopefully thats the problem.

    Now to jack my own thread-

    I have a boost leak somewhere, would putting a little bit of seafoam in there help pinpoint it? I dont want to completely seafoam my motor just yet because I've got some time before my next oil change. If not, does anyone know or have a fogger I use?

    First thing first on that is just to make sure everything is tightened down. Go back through and just tighten all the bolts to the turbo, top mount, etc. The offender for me was always the bov. Swing by your local subaru dealership and get 2 bov gaskets. That helped seal mine better.
