240bhp on Jap fuel so even on Optimax you will see less - perhaps 230bhp (ish).
But 0.6 bar is wrong, I think on that model it should be holding 1bar (14.493psi).
Get your boost control sorted and you should get a significant increase in power....

I recently asked a similar question for my 93 WRX and was told they should be running at 0.8 bar not 0.6 so I would imagine that could be dropping a few horses. do you use octane booster as well as this should take it up to the 100 ron that the imports should be running (It made a hell of a difference on mine when I put in optimax, octane booster then had the ecu reset)

Silly question i know but i take it you do use super unleaded and not unleaded??
Other thing is, is that some people replace the ecu for an MY95 one (260ps) with some improvement (think there is one for sale in the for sale forum) and that should give you some more horses
Does sound like your boost is low thou but hope you get it sorted soon!
