hope you've had some engine work done, otherwise 2bar will break stuff real quick !

take it to a specialist asap.depending on spec of your engine mods,2bar seems a tad high.

that sounds like a LOT of boost. defo sounds like there is a boost control problem. get it looked at by someone who knows what they are talking about.

Is this a Pill restrictor issue? Dont quote me, but if the pill has spun or is the wrong size then it will adhoc boost, I think the newage (bug>) the smaller the restirctor the higher the boost, whereas the Classic is the opposite....

PS, I think the standard Bug WRX had 1.2mm restictor standard, whereas the STI is smaller thus more boost.
