Lack Of Forester Boost

[cjk]

Having only had impreza's before I'm too sure how much of a kick in the kidneys you can expect from the turbo'd forester....only had mine a week (2001,104 k on it full history),I can hear the turbo whistle between 2600-3000 rpm then not much after,it is reasonably quick for a lardy thing but doesn't feel like a turbo charged motor.

I connected the two green plugs under the steering column to run the test cycle for boost solenoid check(cel blinks quickly),the cooling fans switch on and off various other clicks around the engine bay but the boost solenoid does nothing,I'm sure when I've done it on previous impreza's it used to pulse ?.There is 12v going to it,any other ways to check it's ok.

Back to the under dash connectors,i have 2 greens,1 black and one clear....the black and clear are totally different,they are all on the same wee loom....can't see another black which they're should be eh?

I have a cel showing,Gus gave me a few tips to try and clear it but no worki,previous owner says its been on for over a year(yikes) and has been read by non subaru reader,says it shows no faults but needs to be subaru equipment to clear it.

Posted this on main forum to...sorry mods... but free today so looking for quick answers/advice
