Hi Guys

Changed the battery on my wrx today as it was getting really weak with all this cold weather.
Anyway it all went to plan,but,it used to boost up at 1.4 bar,now it only boost up at 0.7 bar and feels so slow lol.
What has happened,ive got a horrible feeling that its something to do with the ecu going back to default,am i right?
Not a happy bunny

There's a way to rest the ecu take both leads of bat + / - hold them together and get someone to press the brake pedal for a few secs, this is suppose to drain the power out of the loom connect back to battery should of reset.
But i cant understand how its gone into limp mode just changing a battery.
what year your pap pap

Running an 18g myself. I find it to be a great turbo. Boost all the way up the rev range. Good for spool and power in my opinion

Many thanks mate,yes it did.
All sorted and back to full power,strangely enough,i was sort of getting used to the low boost and thinking it was still pretty quick lol.

When i hit the rear demist twice it was back to full boost

Your a top bloke Pete..
