anyway after it happen at other 2 sets off light i got to my work pulled up and car start sounding lumpy..turnd it of then turnd it back on and all looked and sounded ok

if you do it the long flashes are in 10ns the short in 1ns let me know what it comes up with and I will tell you the result..you can take it off and clean it when you do there is a diaphram inside clean it and a big rubber washer clean it all with brake cleaner do it when it is cold as there are coolant lines that go through it just clamp off the lines before cheers

The reason i said about a boost leak is that the std actuator i think is preloaded to 0.7bar i think, and if you are getting lower than this, i.e 0.4bar this would only be poss if there was either a boost leak or actuator not working properly ?

Have a good look around your hoses, make sure none are cracked or weathered, have a listen for any hissing noises for leaking pipes, if you have an after market DV try the standard one ?

The -0.7 before the car is started would indicate a problem with the guage!!
It should be reading 0 as in neither negative or positive pressure!
does the car feel slow?

Well its worth changing to see if it makes a difference, it may well be this, but i dont understand how it can boost so low? but i am still learning about Imprezas so lets see what happens!
