Okay quick question i was driving home from the meet today and i was in boost and the car kinda sounded like a missfire for a quick second and a cel came on.I pulled over checked everything and everything checked out fine.Took it to advance and hey said it was a turbo wastegate sensor got it flashed and havent seen it since.Just wondering if i should be worried?


EDIT** Okay so i was at a local performance shop and he noticed that i had a vacum line disconnected from my boost solenoid and after i hooked it back up my problem stoped.....except now i cannt get more the 7lbs out of the turbo its just caped there the motor still sounds like its working but nothing out of the turbo? Any ideas?

 

what was the cel number? for ex: p0244?

also what are your mods?

 

probably wastegate solenoid high range. which would mean you overboosted, iirc

 

Yep.

 

im not sure he didnt give it to me before he flashed it.i havent gotten it again and as for mods all i have is a cat back exhaust and a intake.Over boosted what cause that??

 

your mods without being tuned cause it. The exhaust is known to cause boost creep, sti's are more prone to this but it happens often to wrx's as well

 

I thought a bellmouth dp untuned caused boost creep and not a catback on stock dp?

I could be wrong though as I've always had a tune when running aftermarket dp.

 

i need a tune i know but can this cause serious damage??

 

^ it can depending on how high the boost is going. Do you have a boost gauge? do you have a afr wideband?

 

i just picked one up the other day havent had a chance to throw it in. Just have to take it easy on the car till i can get it tuned
