Default Boost me !!

Hi,

Just bought a 96 WRX Type RA a week or so ago and I'm having issues already !

It only seems to boost upto 0.4-0.5 and then starts backing off, surely this should be 0.9ish ? and sometimes when you put your foot down it runs very jerky, boost on boost off etc.... I tried cleaning on the solenoid but that does not seem to have helped any.

The car is standard bar a dump valve and an induction kit.

This also seems to be a sort of hissing when you put your foot down, not at low revs but when you get higher. Are dump valves meant to make any sort of noise under acceleration ? I was thinking that maybe this was broken or a burst pipe ?

I have done a few searches on here and it could be a lot of things really, my 1st scooby so I'm a bit of a noob !! anyone had anything similar ?

Any help or advice would be great.

And does anyone know a decent garage in Dorset !

Cheers

Steve

Untitled Document use them myself (i'm in Poole) and they have been alright for me.
Could be a leak from a boost pipe but don't quote me
