can any one help me? my my99 impreza turbo 2000 has developed a boost problem, and is gradually getting worse. it started losing power a few weeks ago when the turbo was boosting, the turbo seems to stop for a split second around 3500rpm onwards then be ok then stop again around 5000rpm. now its playing up more frequently kangerooing and very down on power.... very annoying!!! ive done the diagnostic check and it came up with 44 which is a boost pressure regulator or somthing. any ideas? doing my head in now

 

Boost solenoid perhaps?Don't know.

Welcome.

 

thanx bob, i know that would be the obvious but im not sure. i think theres 3 solenoids which it could be, ranging from £80+vat to £500+vat an i dont wanna throw money around to find out it hasnt fixed it

 

help!

 

I sold a standard 2 port for £10 a couple of weeks ago.
I bought a 3 port for £25.

 

did you have the same problem then? where did you get that from?

 

you can clean the solinoid for short time fixing there are a load of instuctions on the forum on how to do this had the same problem with my uk00 and claned the solinoid and runs fine but would recommend changing it to a 3 port one!!
