i think i messed something up, ok heres the scoop. I recently put a Autometer boost gauge in my car and also did the 3/16 restictor mod that was on the scoobymods website the car ran great, so i decided to try something else i removed the small t-valve that in between the turbo and the wastegate and put in a larger one a 3/16 the car ran better i was boosting at 15psi and i could really feel a noticable difference, it sucked you to the seat even more. So stupid me decided to take it off agian an put the smaller t-valve back on in fear that i would damage something and now my car seems like it has now boost at all, it sucks. SO i put the larger t-valve back in and still the same hardly no boost my gauge is only reaching 9psi to 10 psi max in all gears even a redline in all gears. I reset the ecu and still nothing has changed i need help. I miss my boost feeling. could the silenoid be bad. Also i checked for leaks and found none. Please enlightin me and tell me how to correct this problem somebody.

Check to see that you used the original vacuum hoses with the factory restrictor bleed inside one of the hoses. Without it, you won't achieve factory boost level.

similar problem
Hi guys,
You are not alone,
well kinda,
i had a major melt down were half of my vaccume lines melted down. i had them replaced but i still have no or hardley any boost. I also had the restrictor put in the vacuume hose going to the waste gate. Also had the waste gate cylinoid replaced?
If you had some closer let me know?
Thanks
Oh to add pain to my misery the next week i had a utec chip, down pipe, mid pipe, and gfb blow off put in.
Right now my boost gauge is only showing me .5 bars of boost.

tried that
I tried that
actually subaru dealership,
was kind enough to do that for me
all though they claim the problem was resolved there was still no proper boost. Infact the car was building boost and then dumping it way too early. After 3 days of holding my car hostage, they claimed it fixed but yet the car drove no different and they gave me no reason as to what caused the problem?
