like hitting a brick wall.
Hi gents,
My scoob 95m wrx. car has been standing for a while. Took it out today and all through the gears if I accelerated hard, it suddenly cut back, like hitting a brick wall, but engine still running, is it overboosting, or a sensor down. I have seen a thread like it in the past but forget what the solution was.
Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention the car is bog standard, just put the original exhaust back on. No aftermarket dump valves. Would checking the fault codes throw anything up on the overboost?

Probably not, its almost certainly a plumbing issue, like the pipe off the actuator or compressor housing, a split pipe etc etc, maybe the BCS is stuck open after having stood for a while (easy check, pull the BCS to intake pipe hose off and block the pipe and hole, should be down to actuator boost of about 5psi.

Overboost fuel cut feels like someone has turned off the ignition for 1/4 second and turned it bcak on, and feels really bad....yours sounds more like the normal TD04 boost tailoff at the top end...
