Cleaned it, replaced rear washer motor, replaced wiper heads removed a few paint blemishes and cleaned it... Still need to fix F/R Bumpers and the Bonnet... oh and still need a new BCS haha oh well...

Green AFM, .75-.8 is stock yes, around 11~ PSI should be stock. if you account for the boost gauge being innacurate and a little boost creep it's probably spot on when it works properly. (3" Exhaust) 3B ECU "should be 10.55PSI Max dropping to 6,8~ at high RPM" But the problem is it will just decide randomly to only boost to waste gate pressure, 0.4~bar.

still does it on 98 Petrol, I don't think it's an error as you can disconnect the battery and it will still do it.

Have given it a good clean out, using test mode.. still randomly decides it only wants to run WG Pressure? I wonder if there's a seal in there that leaks sometimes? Trying to locate a used alternative at least that way I could pull one apart and see how it works.

Will grab some carby cleaner this week and give that a go!, I had used some cleaner in it when I first got the car, but it was MAF cleaner (figured it would clean, without damaging). I have reattached the Recirc hose, rather keep it all the way the factory intended it!

Hi, I have a 1997 (my96) WRX Wagon, with an EJ20G, TD04 Turbo Sometimes it will simply never boost further than wastegate pressure (.4bar) but randomly it will correct itself and boost further (hovers around .75-.8bar) nothing excessive. usually after say, driving up a hill with a small amount of throttle and a little bit of boost it will just drop off for a while, then might come back an hour later. Disconnecting battery makes no difference so I don't think it's limp mode or an error I had a missifire issue beforehand and assumed that was causing this condition, had replaced all coil packs with the later type ones, and removed the external ignitor. car has had all filters, spark plugs, oil ect and in my opinion running very well (no smoke, smooth acceleration, good vaccum) I'm suspecting the boost control solenoid? this car has a 3port variant, I have checked the lines, and noticed that the bleed line was missing entirely from the bottom port and into the intake box - not sure if it causes too many issues. (had initially thought it was a 2 port so had a "restrictor" in the wastegate line, but it was probably placebo that working) any input or ridiculous claims would be appreciated.

Gear Oil, Diff Oil, Spark Plugs Did this, as i had a cracked coilpack http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1192028 but I used the proper coilpack plugs as I'm not a fan of 100% soldered joins in an engine bay. no more missfires at boost over 0.6bar.

I just replaced that there escort which I exploded on that meet.... with a WRX... so I'll go next time
