When i stop or slow down my rps's drop to 0 and my turbo isnt spooling so i can barley go 30 mph and thats in 4th gear.. Please help if this has happened to anyone

Do you hear a whineing sound, like the turbo attempting to spool up?

I had a bov on my car for about 24 hours. My car had a horrible scream when I got into it, plus fuel cut and check engine light. Our stock computers are adaptive and won't let you do a lot without ecu tuning. You can only replace stock parts with larger ones without doing the computer mods.

Sounds like you blew a fitting off somewhere. That's yet another reason a boost controller is a bad idea on a WRX.
