ok so last night i stopped off and filled the car up at the normal shell garage, on my drive down the a127 i noticed the car just wasnt pulling like it does, looked at the boost gauge and its only reading 0.5 bar of boost. normally it boosts just over a bar, it does boost more when i hit 5k revs! but could be causing this??? the boost seems all over the place, most of the time it will stay at half a bar, sometimes it will boost normal and then sometimes it will over boost! tried reseting the ecu but no differece.
also while playing with another scoob i noticed abit of smoke in the rear view mirror, could the turbo be on its way?? its a 93 wrx

ahhhhh well the black stuff is better than white or blue right? lol yea it was you fella. i thought at first it was white which got me thinking the turbo was gonna let go, so the ecu must be limiting boost cos of the overfuel??

ok the problem seems to of gone! i didnt reset the ecu again i just drove the car easy but alot! got the tank down to empty and filled up at a different shell garage, drove the car off boost for about 20 miles and then decided to see what would happen with the boost, hits 1 bar everytime and no smoke so sounds like it was a tank of juice??

nothing to clever, oil change, temp sensor needs changing i think as sometimes when cold i get the CEL and fault code points to that, 2 new back tyres (ouch) and rust around the rear wheel arch is really pissing me off so gonna get that sorted to...maybe get a knocklink fitted. after spending all the money on rebuilding the engine last summer i dont want it to go again
