Default Unidentified Problemo!!

Afternoon Guys

Just a quick post to see if anyone has encounted this problem before and if anyone can point me in the right direction as to what would cause this, iv got a 2002 bugeye and as of late iv been noticing that my car just isnt running right..

for example sometimes(it dosent happen all the time) but while under boost it feels as if its struggling just not pulling like i know it should.

also when im comming off the throttle my revs tend to be dropping alot faster ( like the car is being restriced from rolling) if you know what i mean... i know this prob sounds like a load of mumbo jumbo but thats the best way i can think to explain whats happaning, if anyone has any advice on this it would be much appreciated!!

Thanks Heaps People!!!

Likely failing air flow meter. Stay off boost. Take it to a subaru workshop to definative diagnosis, i.e. Stechnic, etc.

Air flow meter, clean it out with contact cleaner, some times it helps, if not then your going to have to buy one
