just installed vf39 on a 02 wrx CEL
ok so i just put in a vf39 on my 2002 wrx and i took it out for a drive. As i am going everything is fine and then i came to a stop. I wanted to try to see how fast it takes off and as i am working up to the red line area car stalls for a moment and check engine flashed and then i just changed to 2nd and it does the same thing as i am lurking up the redline area..i was just wondering if its normal...

You're getting knock, either real or phantom. You shouldn't be getting it either way though. Pull the codes and you'll most likely have a cyl X misfire. Make sure you're using the CA 91 octane map (VF39-S ACN 91oct). Also check to see if you've got a loose heat shield. That'll sometimes do it. Oh, and stay off it till you figure it out.

If I were you I'd stop detonating your engine before you blow the thing up. Pull your boost solenoid and run a line from your compessor outlet to your wastegate and bring to Paul so he can see what's going on.
