Default POWER LOSS PROBLEM HELP!!!

hi. i've noticed that my 94 wrx isnt giving all the power that it did before. the turbo gauge still shows its running on 1.1 bar boost but for some reason it doesnt feel as fast as it was. im finding it difficult racing normal cars . what could be the problem. what power is my car running roughly. its got a FM blitz IC, turbo running at 1.1bar, full stainless steel exhaust with decats. cheers people.

no it definately feels like theres a lack of power there. it dosnt pull so much. maybe it needs a service and i need to get my MAF changed aswel. does anyone know what power my wrx should be running approx with these mods. and what power could it get to if i got 440cc injectors and a walbro fuel pump with a remap and what is the standard bhp on a saloon 94 wrx. cheers guys

its a 94 L reg so am guessing its early. what do the late 94 wrx have to gain 20bhp. do you think it could be a leak in the turbo pipe since its pulling like before. but it still shows its running 1.1bar of boost. cheers for any help guys

Yes L reg is up to the end of July 94, so yours is 240ps std.

The A-/B-/C1-series version 1 WRX saloon's max boost is 11.47psi held.

The C2-series version 2 boost is 12.71psi max, dropping to 11.78. This is why it has 20PS more.

my last reply didnt make any sense lol sorry. does anyone think my turbo pipe could be leaking since the power has dropped. as i said before it still shows its running on 1.1bar boost from the boost gauge but doesnt seem to apply it to the wheels very well as it did quite nicely before.
