I just bought a 93 legacy turbo with 173K for $700 that needs some work but runs good. When i got the car it would cut out at about 5000 rpm at full throtle. The other day i hooked up a boost gauge and its running about 13psi! So is the cutting out the fuel cut out? What would cause to much boost? O and i just join the forum tonite and hope to learn alot.

Check that your vacuum hoses are all hooked up right. There's a diagram in the Intake forum.

It could be. Try moving the wastegate actuator by hand; it should take a lot of effort but you should be able ot move it.

It's technically a sustained 3 seconds of 12.75 PSI or more of boost that you get fuel cut.

The boost level really depends on elevation.
Kickin' it old-school.
