[Lack of boost and backfire]

Get it out of limp mode by resetting the ECU. I've got a Tactrix cable and a laptop personally and I use that with Romraider Logger to reset my ECU. FreeSSM with most cheap ODB2 cables should work too.
Other than this you may be able to do it by disconnecting your battery, but not 100% sure on this. There should also be a manual reset you can google.
 
I also recently spent $200 tracking down a boost leak I COULDN'T find after stripping the whole intake up the intake manifold out! In the end I gave up and took it to Pitstop for a smoke test and they found the leak under the dash. Still kicking myself for not trying to cut the Boost Gauge out of the loop!!! It never occurred to me that a tiny little hose split could leak so much boost!
 
I was only boosting 4PSI and the car stalled in the middle of the f'n motorway! After this was all fixed up I'm back to 15psi.

Cheers man, I might have a look tomorrow. Ive had a really bad feeling about my boost gauge, so I might check the hose in the dash. No obvious air leak though, and ive done the battery reset also, still no luck. Looking forward to that 15psi though lol, 5psi just isnt cutting it

There should be a stored or constant check engine light. Get those codes read and go from there. Boost that low is normally either a big leak or ecu initiated "limp" mode

If it is in limp mode, how do I get it out?.

Gotta watch out for some people, if they are private or a small business, they tend to bring up things that dont really need attention. I had one dude quote me $1400 before I could get a wof. Had a funny feeling about them so i went to vtnz expecting to fail and passed with ease, no problem at all. I dont know, maybe they're legit. Just be aware =)

Just tried the 2 black cables, check light just kept flashing, continuously at the same pace?. No lights come on while I drive around normally, just low boost.

Cheers man thank u, will have a look after work today. I cant hear any boost leak at all so it must be chilling in limp mode.

Hey all, I recently bought a 99" legacy b4. It backfires/pops every now and again and even sometimes when I change up gears?. But my main reason for turning to forums is the lack of boost. Both turbos are only hitting 5psi, 6 if im lucky. This is my 1st twin turbo, and its confused the S*** out of me lol. Does anybody know what the problem could be?. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
