sudden loss in boost

Post by turbo970 »

well up til yesterday my subie was boosting up to 10 psi where i had it set. then last night and this morning i'm lucky to get 8 psi. all my hoses and tubing are good clamps are tight. runs fine idles normal. just no more 10 psi. only thing i done different before the loss of boost was filling up at a out of town gas station. i have no engine lights. the gauge still reads the same on the vacuum side. could the vacuum actuator gone bad?

I live in Oregon so I can't pump my own gas. The other day I cought the dude putting in regular, luckily it was only $2 worth.. I was pissed. I have to get out and make sure they do it right every time now. Glad you fixed your issue!
