Default Impreza turbo cuts out under load

Just bought my first impreza and on the way home it was fine till it warmed up,but then when id boot it it would stutter or basically feel like ive just hit a wall and stall.the engine managment light would come on so id pull over turn it off leave it a minute then start it the eml light has gone off and car will drive fine for a minute or two then stutter and cut out etc?

Try cleaning the boost control solenoid located on the os inner wing with brake cleaner. Connect the 2 black and 2 green connectors under the dash to engage diagnostics. When you do this the fans will come on and the boost solenoid will click away when clean. If its not clicking after cleaning its cream crackerd.

I was gonna say MAF as that sounded like an issue I had on mine a while ago.

Speak to one of the breakers on here, they normally have loads on the shelf.

Get it from Subaru. It will be genuine and will work (and have a guarantee).

Drive it steady and let Dave sort it out. You're in safe hands with him.
