Unhappy Power Problem - MY05 WRX

Hi Folks,

Pulled off yesterday and my car had no power. Sounds OK and drives OK but there's just no power, can't hear the turbo. For the past couple of days she has felt like she's been going a little slower - thought it was me getting used to the car!!!

Booked into local dealer tomorrow hope it's nothing serious. Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong, I have very limited mechanical knowledge.

It's had no modifications and is a standard UK model with only 4K covered .

Thanks

Rhys

sounds like something connected to/ or your wastegate actuator has broken and you are not getting any boost.

No, could also be your recirc (dump valve) is stuck open.
Then again it may be something totally different
Let us know.
