If it did a lot then something else is broken. If you put a boost tap on a properly functioning and assembled V7 it does precisely three-fifths of F***-all.
17psi is slightly less than a V7 should be making anyway, and 3500rpm is about where they spool when they roll out the factory door.
So you have a. hidden a fault in something else b. reduced the boost to below stock levels and c. removed any ability for the car to protect itself (boost cut) if there is a fault.
I will put a note here that I am a fully quailified mechanic with 10years experience . I’m happy to do a conversion on my shell for the new buyer if that’s what they want. Price will be fair and much cheaper than paying a shop to do it. Just supply a crashed wrx or sti or what ever and I’ll make it happen.
It’s a 1995 prefacelift, pretty tidy. 1.5 manual 2wd. I’ll get pics tonight add me on fb richard Mcilworth
