Default New Backbox / Boost problem

Hi there all how are we all today ...

I have a 2000 classic shape turbo and today i went to the local subaru garage to get my new 4" backbox fitted but when i picked it up tonite . The cars turbo wont boost it sounds like its spooling ok up to 3200 rpm and when the turbo normally would kick in it just die's (no turbo) the dump valve stops venting and it feels just like a normally aspirated car There are no cel codes and its just had a major service 2 weeks ago by the same garage

Any help guys would be great ..

sounds like it is in limp home mode tbh. Call the garage that fitted the BB & if not to far go back & ask them to plug in the select monitor to check for the problem
