Subaru legacy boost

It sounds like a lack of fuel to the injectors. check the fuel manifold pressure and the regulator. run fault codes to check for faulty sensors.

Hi i have a 1990 subaru legacy rs BC5 single turbo it seems to blow turbos all the time, the blow off valve opens up on idle even through the boost gauge reads zero and when it drives and hits boost it...

Hello, that is a puzzler, but the blow off valve opening up at an idle is making me think exhaust/catalytic converter restriction causing to much back pressure. Like it can't get the air through fast enough so it's backing up in the intake. I would start my chase there... Let me know if you find any thing...(subyguru)...

This sonds like a boost issue as a fault in the waste gate or turbo could be the culprit.Using as boost gauge,verify proper positive boost in this power band range.

Subaru impreza 2l turbo, 1994, starts fine and

your spelling is horrid.   I think your boost control valve or pop-it valve is defective.  Also try a basic tune up with plugs and filters.

No boost

Check all the rubber hoses to and from the inner cooler for cracks, make sure all the clamps are tight.
