Okay Scott. Diagnose (sp?) my new car problem:

Without Boost Controller on the car.

1st gear: Slowly lose boost.

2nd through 4th gear, w/o BC on, never creeps above 10 psi. (Normally peaks at 15 and then levels out about 12).

Not to mention the shifting is increasingly getting rough (Could easily be time for a tranny service).

So, even though I haven't had the BC on the car for awhile, could I have a exhaust leak? Turbo problems? Cat in the uppipe damaged?

Car goes to Carson Subaru tomorrow to find out for sure. But I would rather not go out there if I don't have to.
Sounds like there might be something hooked up wrong to the wastegate. When you pulled off the MBC and reinstalled the stock Y hoses, did you make sure to put the hose with the restrictor in it on the turbo outlet?

Rough shifting sounds like it's time for new ATF.
