hi all,
i have just recently changed the intercooler on my 95 uk turbo and it came with the hose for the throtle body and the turbo hose, both samcos. the last one had standard hoses and was also a standard i/c.
now the problem, although the boost gauge is showing only a fraction under what it was befor there just seems to be a lack of pull through the rev range, any ideas what could be wrong if any? also would re-setting the ecu do anything?
thanks.

 

Hi just read this and i have got the same problem. Been running panel filter,cold feed pipe,full de-cat, fse power valve, parallel fuel rails,walbro pump,scoobyecu,sti6 v limited ra box and diff. Used to run at 13 to 14 psi its now struggling to reach 10 psi in 4th. Put a dawes device on got back up to 13 14 psi but there is a noticable lack of punch like there was before.
Have checked everything i can think of but drawn a blank Any ideas that can help us.
Cheers

 

Why did you change the intercooler... and is it the same design as the one you took off?

fins were all buggered and a big gouge (?) in. same as far as i can tell, off a wrx i think, all holes matched up.

 

try resseting the ecu and cleaning out the boost selenoid
