No Boost
Ok first off I have searched!! I just bought my 05 STI about 3 weeks ago and the car was running great, till about 2 Nights ago i was driving home from work when i lost boost pressure, the check engine light was on and of course the cruse light was flashing. well when i got home i plug in my scan tool and code was to check the wastegate i checked it, and the Wastegate vaccum line was riped in half, i replaced the line and no more check engine light but the car still wont boost... i looked at every line i can think of but still nothing max pressure right now .07

Were talking like 0 boost at all???????
I had the same thing happen to me as I was driving my brand new used subie home from the dealership.....
The hose from the turbo to the intercooler popped off, I have also had the hose from the intercooler to the throttle body pop off.
Other than catastrophic turbo failure I would think checking these two things and making sure your wastegate is not stuck fully open should at least produce a little bit of boost.

Sorry the car does boost but only about 8psi.. i checked the hoses there all fine but i cant do much more because the car is under warranty which i dont want to void... I got the car from a GMC dealer in seaside which is about, 2hours from were i live i called them last night and they told me to bring it in, which i dont understand because GMC dont work on subaru this is not the first problem i had with the car!!

You might have removed the vacuum line that contains the restrictor pill.
Look at the diagram near the bottom of this page and see if it's the line you replaced.

Re-set ECU
Then check for vacuum leaks again
You May have to pressurize your system to check for leaks. Some leaks you can't see with the naked eye.
also, you not only want to check the lines, but you also need to check the components that the lines are connected too. For example, Your lines may be fine, but your wastegate may have a leak and is not holding pressure.
