You can either ¨T¨ off the line that connects the IM to the BOV, or alternately, source the boost reference directly from the comp hsg discharge tube(J pipe). So, which is it¿

Just remembered someone told me to unhook the line the goes to the wastegate, and i did that and took it for a spin. I boosted over 11 psi, i let it climb past 15 then let off(didnt wanna overboost) So what does this mean? Wastegate bad? Boost solenoid?

I had the same problem with my car. Still waiting on the replacement of my clutch to see if that was part of the problem with my lack of power. I did a boost leak test if u wanna know how PM me

You guys only getting 11-13 psi are running wastegate pressure and its probably because you dont have the correct lines, or more so, are missing the stock boost pills.
This is very common when the previous owner used a MBC/EBC and then tried to return the car to stock.

It would be nice to cruise around with other evos, got a bunch of friends with wrxs
