Default Low boost/ feeling flat

HI Guys

quick question

Got back from a long trip to the Isle of Mull in the scoob (94 wrx jap import) and its been feeling rather flat and is only making low boost..

Now i struggled to get decent fuel north of glasgow... (esso 97ron) and bp 95...lots of booster used(although i dont rate this method!!) .... it wasnt driven hard but it does feel rather flat now that iv put some vpower bck in..

So if i reset the ecu now its on better fuel should it help cure the problem?

Thanks
Gord

Most probably as the early ecus retard ignition easily but don't adjust quickly the other way

.... well tried the normal ecu reset method ( 2 plugs) and for some reason this didnt work?? so i have left the battery disconnected for 48 hours in a hope this may work??

It will only boost to .5 bar so it does look as if its in Limpmode
