So I have an 04 wrx wagon with 107000 miles on it. The only relevant mod is an V2 ap.
The problem is a lack of boost. I never reach over 8.5-9.5 psi. Also when I disconnect the boost control pressure line I still only achieve the 8.5-9.5 psi range. I have reset the ecu (several times) and still no difference. What I don't get is why disconnecting the pressure line would not make it build pressure like crazy. I'm under the impression that the default position for the waste gate is sealed, and that when actuating it opens. So why then would it not build pressure when it sees no pressure. Also I'm fairly certain that it is not stuck in the open position because of the position of the actuator arm. It is in the default position. My only thought is that the waste gate itself is cracked or gone, or maybe I have a crack in my turbo that just lets it through. Am I just being dumb and overlooking something simple. Any input would be greatly appreciated as the only thing left I can think of is to pull the stupid thing out. I almost forgot the ap says that my waste gate is actuating both the same with and without the pressure line connected.
