Z4 if I remember right is for the MY96 WRX?

Should boost to 1.1 bar I think as the UK turbos' boosted to 0.9 bar.

I'd try get hold of another ECU the same and swap them

Hmm, looking at that then 1.1 bar may have been for the later model years.

12.71 PSI is slightly under 0.9 bar so god knows Try another ECU as said if possible.
