Hi my car has run good the last year sinse I had the new engine fitted but as I was out today . I noticed the car seemed very laggy . I then checked to see what I was boosting and it was showing 0.5 -0.6 .... the car has always been around the 1 bar mark all year . Car has never been mapped or out changed for it to do this . Any ideas would be great car still pulls okay but laggy and a lot slower than normal. Vf28. Yellow injectors . Sti ecu . Thanks

Shite fuel? Air leak? Any Cel lights on? Weather can change the boost aswel. I had that problem when i had my wagon, turned out it never had a resistor pill in boost pipes off actuator.

sounds like a leak if you have a top mount they can leak from underneath where the pipe joins to the intercooler#
