You probably have a kink in the line or your fittings are not tight.

what gears? try a 3rd or 4th gear pull from 2000rpm

or if you have the same problem i did....the pill inside the t-connector hoses is pinched a little bit or completely. another area i leaked a little boost was because of the bov. check all lines and connections and like im slow said which gear are you pulling it in?

MattC

i tried all gears, only one that hits .5 is 4th and 5th the rest r just under. i just checked all my fittings and nothing, and it ran the same boost w/ the stock recirc. valve as the bov. could it be the thing next to the airbox that the vacuum tube goes to and the other one that goes into it goes to the intake pipe

MattC

what pill in the t connector r u talking about black. i tried reseting the ECU, i checked all the lines none

Well, sounds like you are running just WG pressure. So , your ECU could be in limp mode or one of your wastegate lines is cut or off.

i'll check all the lines again if not i guess its a trip to subaru.... it sucks b/c thats a 2 hour drive... i hate north carolina

i had one for my gas cap, i replaced it but it came back on about 50 miles later. i dont think that has anything to do w/ it.
