yeah possibly........although dont think he will come down anymore in price now??.....

i will pm him and ask when and how it may of all gone wrong with the boost ie after he did this or that....

5psi is limp mode.

Causes could be:

#1 bad batch of fuel or filled with regular unleaded (most common cause) knock causes the ecu to go into engine preservation mode (with no check engine light).

#2 waste gate solenoid frozen closed = 5-6 psi wastegate pressure....seen this 3 times on high milers

#3 faulty knock sensor ....Early ones used to crack pretty regularly and send false info to the ecu (usually indicated by a check engine light though)

#4 O2 sensor issues can cause limp mode also.

#5 semi flat battery can cause the ecu to go into limp also.

HTH

Do an ecu reset on it and see if it comes good or quickly defaults back to 5 psi limp.

cheers for that

thats the answers i crave lol

guessing if it were 02 sensor it would be running really really rich though....

are the bugeyes same as clasics to re set the ecu ie black and green plugs under steering colume?? or dis connect battery over night.....

its a my01 wrx.

Interested in this myself Gerry as ive been told that a battery disconect for a period of time followed by pressing the brake pedal to discharge the ecu will reset it
but others have said it can only be done via a subaru select monitor or similar device

You know you can just make another post in one of your other 6 threads this week instead of starting a new one for every car you look at?
