Default Boost control solenoid wrx 2003 blob eye

Hi all
My car sometimes boosts fine and sometimes it doesn't
I disconnected bcs and it worked as it should.
Probably answered my own question but is the bcs faulty or could it be something else?
Car idles and runs perfectly
Many thanks

car could be in limp mode due to knock and that would stop it activating the BCS. Do you have a diagnostic cable to check it?

did you log the wastegate duty and manifold pressure when it's running fine and when it's playing about? Post up the LTV data from romraider logger maybe it has a clue.
