why wont she boost
when i bought my scoob she used to wind up then give you a great shove in the back, it felt like my neck was gonna snap, today though on way home she seems to be lacking in boost, in fact compared to how se was she feels gutless. boost before on guage was 20 psi max, now she struggles to go to half that, please anyone help

its a 1993 legacy turbo, it has a blitz dump valve, that sounds to be churping away nicely but i can usually hear a lovely jet engine whine as she comes up to boost but its not there

Are your tappets noisy at the moment? What has been done to it because if it's standard it shouldn't ever run anywhere near 20 psi.
