Hi All
I have a Legacy 1992 which keeps loosing power, i have a MRT Induction kit on it.
I could be driving it and all of a sudden i could loose all power as if it is only boosting to about ½ bar (i haven't got a boost gauge)and it could stay like that for a minute or it could be a day. I have had a look at all the hoses and they are fine.
ANY SUGGESTIONS???? as it is doing my head in

Had similar problem on my Impreza although only once so far..
see in the drivetrain under "What causes Limp home mode?" thread
Some ideas in there so far..

This seems to be a problem with legacys. The only thing I can suggest, as it did sort of happen with my car a few years ago when I first got it.
Check if the chargecooler pump is working, as on my car it was not, and occasionaly it would drop the boost. I have no idea why it wasnt working ( wiring problem somewhere )
I wired an igniton feed to the pump, so it would run continuosly when the ignition is turned on, and fitted a boost controller.
I am pretty sure the fact that the chargecooler pump wasnt working was the reason for the lowered boost. At least it did on my car, but soon after I removed boost control from the stock ecu anyway, so I was in control of the boost pressure so it could never happen again.
