Default advice urgently required please help!

i went to the powerstation rolling road day only to find out that my 94wrx wagon is seriously down on power it made 200.5 bhp at the fly with 184lbs of torque it has a tsl firestorm exhaust and green filter element so should be making 225+ the operator said that the graph peaked and then sloped off very quickly (perhaps the fuel pump!) i really would be grateful for any advice

You need to see whats happening with your boost, it sounds as though rather than reaching a peak and slowly going, its not even getting that far
I had a similar problem, it turned out to be the boost solenoid (clogged), some brake fluid cleans it out though
I would take it to somewhere who deals in subarus and get the car put on the computer.
