run a check on the ecu. Search on google how to do it(real easy). It will tell you what to check or replace and how to reset the ECU. It takes minutes.

weird i brought my first impreza 95 wrx, drove it home n on the way the check engine light came on aswell. i did the ecu check but i didnt really help me, but mine ended up being a sensor which had clogged up with carbon, sorry but i cant remember what sensor it was.it was just a matter of taking it off and cleaning it though, API kindly done this for me.

Try cleaning the AFM with some carb cleaner and running optimax mate
My turbo ran like a bag of **** on 95, sweet as a nut with optimax
