Hi guys.
I've got a bit of an issue with my boost.
I have a '99 S2 Stagea with 61000kms on it - and stock apart from a turbo timer.
It appears that I get 7lb of boost instead of the stock 5lb right from about 2500rpm - no complaints there, but after about 5 mins of driving it won't go over 5lb boost and is dropping back to 4lb boost at 5000rpm and feels 'lame' to drive and slow to build boost.
Now the funny thing, if I pull over and turn off engine and restart I get 7lbs boost again and is 'snappy' to drive for about 5 mins.
I've tested this quite a few times - the ignition must be turned off and not just letting the motor idle down and I get back the 7lb boost again.
First I thought it may be the cheap(looking) boost gauge so I rigged up another but they both read the same.
So I've been told(by local mechanics) it's
1) turbo is stuffed
2) fuel pump on it's way out
3) ECU playing up
Any ideas would be appricated
