surley if its at the solenoid end you will need a bigger hole for more boost? as the more you bleed off the more boost you will make? Ill have a closer look later, its just strangethat it made 19psi before no problem at all, and now is making 14-15psi, the general concensus on the subaru forum is that it is now outwith the mapped duty cycle of the boost control solenoid and it cant run enough duty cycle to make target boost. A manual controller will sort this out lol.
