pulsating boost
having a problem with sti 2, iīm getting pulsating boost on hard acceleration and it doesnīt reach as high as it should. i hear turbo whistle and the sound is also pulsating. sometimes it is not pulsating but boost isnīt as high it should. no fault codes, changed faulty knock, map and coilpacks, spark plugs are 8 months old. looked the ecu parameters and everything was ok except for alternator voltage which was 12,4v, it should be 13,8 volts. could it be that coilpacks are not getting enough volts? or is the boost solenoid faulty? it is clean. i have no more ideas.

i have cleaned the solenoid and waistgate moves fine. my boost is not pulsating much 0,1 or 0,15 bar. we thought it could be spark issue, so can alternator not charging as much it should caus problems with spark?

tried another boost solenoid, but it was hard to tell the difference, maybe it was slightly better. but light pulsating was still there. i donīt know what to try next.

I have the same issue on my blobeye after it's latest remap when accelerating hard in 5th and 6th.
The guy who mapped it at the garage said it's because its maxing out the wastegate duty cycle with the amount of boost I'm running.
He said I could either turn down the boost marginally until it stops happening, or just upgrade to a larger turbo/wastegate combo (which I plan on doing anyway).

its not all about boost, just creates more heat, then knock, get him to pull back the boost till you decide to get your bigger turbo etc.

finally i found the cause, fuel pressure regulator hose was loose. it must have gotten loose after i changed coilpacks. no it runs fine as it should.

On the driver side bank, by the turbo. If you crane your head over that area and look down into the abyss lol by the cyl. head, you'll see it attached to the end of the fuel rail - looks a bit like a little DV valve with the vac pipe going to it...
