02 wrx bugeye problem??

sti v5

Middle Lane Hogs
A cousin bought a 02 wrx turbo and is not sure if the turbo is working right... It doesnt boost the same at around 3000rpm the way the sti does... You can feel a very small difference but it seems to just climb the rev band steady the whole way... is this normal for the wrx?

Theres no smoke out of it and no fault lights...

Is there anything i should look for that would cause it to not work properly?? Was thinking wastegate actuator :dontknow:
 
Thats not normal, could be wastegate or could be a few other things, but defo something wrong with the boost system
