here's the story, my car is usually at 17psi, today i was driving it and had trouble getting past around 8 psi and the car started jerking. I popped the hood and noticed one of the vacuum lines was shot. (the one connecting the boost controller to the selenoid...i think...it's the little silver cylinder in front of the turbo) I took it for a drive and it boosted a little better but still jerked around 14psi and wouldn't go above 5k rpm. I'm completely stumped. Today i got my CEL fixed at Vakamon. They used a spacer and reset the comp, but i don't think it's that. There wasn't a high pitched noise coming from the turbo and no smoke. HELP!!!!
my mods are VF39, FMIC, 3 inch exhaust, intake, STI pinkies, and i believe the car came with a tune from a plug in. Thanks for the help.

sounds like you melted a hose and your car went inot limp. have you reset the ecu since? that lil silver thing your talking about, do you mean the wastegate?

yes, i meant the wastegate. Since i have owned the car, i haven't reflashed or messed with the ecu. The shot hose has been replaced. What do you mean, my car went into limp?

Replace the hose and reset the ecu.

Looks like your ecu has been reflashed. I'm guessing you bought it used?

I think one of your intercooler hoses are loose. I would replace that hose and make sure all connection a for vacuum are securely tightened

i'll re check the hoses on the ic and turbo, is this something i need to talk to vakamon about?

you could but check everything first and reset the ecu.

i re checked everything...how do i get my ecu reset. Through vakamon or Servco Subaru

^^^ disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and reconnect. the ecu will reset and will have to relearn.

Limp home mode I think is what he meant.

If the resetting doesn't work check all the hoses and airways.

Check the BPV/BOV to make sure it's not stuck open (it's happened to me before with an aftermarket one).

well, went down to vakamon yesterday, and all 4 cylinders is mis firing. They say, it's causing it to do what it's doing.
