i have a 1995 wrx saloon with a scorpion decat and air filter swap. recently i purchased a 27c1028 chip off fleabay .i had it fitted by a friend who fixes computers so im sure he did a good job. after this the car ran fine but it didnt feel much different. i have now fitted a boost gauge and im only getting 10psi at max boost .can anyone give me a clue where ive gone wrong. pleeeeeeese any help would be great

I asume you followed all fitting instructions? Check for splits in all hoes, if you have I would clean out your boost control solenoid with brake cleaner, it sits on your drivers strut. Pull of the pipe from the compressor housing and the one to the waste gate, squirt the carb cleaner in to the compressor hose and switch the ignition on and off, you will hear a click from the solenoid as it acctivates. If its still the same then get a piece of pipe and connect directly from compressor to wastegate, you should get 0.5 bar, if not then this is what you need to look at, is it an adjustable actuator.

Would have thought should have been around 16psi as i was running 1.1 bar with my scoobyecu in my old 1995 WRX. Maybe soldered in wrong or fried something when soldering it.

i hope not .. but i thought that these chips either work or the car would,nt start. and it drives fine with no miss fires or starting faults . i dunno im confused

what was the car boosting before, would have thought it would have been about 0.8-0.9 bar as standard which is higher than what you are getting

no probs scott. sorry "scooboy" dont know what it was boosting before as ive just fitted the gauge. i took the boost solonoid off earlier and blasted it out with carb cleaner. and noticed it was open .isnt it supposedto be shut untill you reach max boost?

default setting for BCS is open between the top and middle ports. this gives a fail safe mode that will only allow 0.6bar

just to let all know , i found the pipe at the bottom of the boost solonoid was completely blocked. cleaned it out and now she goes like sh*t off a shovell .@ 16 psi. thanks to all for your help
