Default Boost cut off 1995 Sti redtop

Hi

I have had my car now since September and it’s always had the problem of when being at full throttle the boost would sometimes cut off then come back on again. It would happen really fast and do it about 3 times in one gear then it would lose boost completely till I took my foot off the pedal. It got really bad at one stage doing it regardless how it was driven so I did some researched to find that it had the wrong plugs in it. After changing them the car ran good but now it’s starting to come back! I found a small hole in my exhaust right by the lambda sensor could this be the cause (the hole is just a bit bigger then a pin ***** it’s tiny).

The car is running everything standard apart from hks induction, bof, back box.

I have to wait till the end of the month till I can get a de-cat pipe but any information would be a great help!!

Thanks

Andy
