If you have a boost controller try reducing boost and post back. If no boost controller is fitted start looking at the boost solonoid and associated hoses.

It has a gauge mate . It is a 1994 ra wrx ej20 close deck. Just bin out in it it is boosting up to 1.1 bar if I try keep the boost under 1 bar it don't splutter or misfire. If I get a boost controller what one is best and do I need one that plugs in too the 2 wires that r going too my standerd boost controller? Thanks

With the electronic type you will have to splice wires, with the manual type iirc you just swap the three small pipes to the controller.

I think I leave your standard BCS (boost control solenoid) plugged in else the ECU will throw you into limp mode.
Wire in the new BCS solenoid and transfer the small bore pipes to the new BCS, what brand do you plan on using, HKS?
If you are using a new standard BCS just swap everything like for like.
A manual boost controller uses a simple spring to set boost. There are many how to films on YouTube.
Perhaps someone could confirm?

If you can fix it yourself yes. The original STI is the best of all marques in my opinion. Lightweight, 280 bhp unmodified, equals RAPID!
