That is very low.

Aye, 1 bar is approx. 14.51 psi (or that's what we use in engineering to 2 decimal places), so as above 0.3 bar, that's pants
Check hoses.

Thanks peaple. I think I got same thing going on on my scooby... Coz I got the td0520g turbo front m intercooler few mods more but at moment looks like a non turbo coz the turbo kick in to late at 5 psi only..can I remap on original ecu on my 1997 Subaru uk model??

thats your problem a front mount with no remap.the car has probably gone into limp mode which limits boost...DO NOT try to use on boost until mapped as will end up with big bill for rebuild.you need esl or an after market ecu to get yours mapped.budget £500 ish for that.

So you've put several mods on your Impreza without a remap and now you're asking why it's gone wrong? Come on fella, not rocket science is it. Get the mods done, done drive it until you get it remapped. You can't map the original ECU on a 97/98 car yet, you'll need a different ECU.

His ECU is mappable. ESL...

OP.

Get the car to a specialist for a look over. If your running the car with those mods and without a mapping session then you will have some serious issues.

That's the bugger

Sorry, thought it was a separate physical ECU. I know Jeff (Alcazar) uses a link ECU for his my98 2.5l forged beast.

The ESL is just a board that is fitted to the original ecu which allows it to be mapped.
Link is a standalone ecu, pretty good too
