bmx045 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 because you clearly have no idea and need to learn a bit more about how these ecu's work before adjusting boost manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrw Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 quick google search http://www.jcspods.com/subarugt.html those take any 52mm pods, as the site lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angeltalin Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 most people with legacys atleast on this forum use elec boost control selenoids, easier for tuners less hassle for the driver. Grimmspeed is probably the most popular you can get one for about 95 bucks. if your going boost gauge, on a budget ; ebay, otherwise prosport,stri,defi or too much for you StageIII Cryotune-Kinugawa STS TD06H-20GTX 9 blade turbine, ID1000, DW65c, 73mm MegaMAF , GS EWG up-pipe, Downpipe and EBCS, FMS FMIC, TGV Delete, Brembo swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvit10 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 im sorry its real complicated, you adjust it until the boost isnt to high, its pretty simple and its cost effective instead of buying an electric one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 so you adjust the boost gauge to your max boost? interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmx045 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 ok, on a serious note. have a boost controller in your interior is pointless and useless. you go to a tuner and he adjusts boost with timing, fuel, etc. once its tuned to optimal boost level, it STAYS there, you DO NOT adjust it yourself since the tune equates a boost level with an amount of fuel and timing. adjusting boost once those are set is adding air/pressure to a set fuel (injector latency), and significantly throws off AFR. thus upping the boost after tuned will cause severe lean conditions, with detonation and knock, and a lot of heat, and a lot of damage. boost controllers stay in the engine compartment and are not to be adjusted by the driver, only by the tuner. EBCS's are the way to go, not manual controller. http://www.grimmspeed.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=151&products_id=145 you only need an aftermarket boost controller if your stage 2 or higher, the stock bcs handles up to 19psi decently. if you're stage 2 fmic then an ebcs is a good idea for boost building response. if you are stock, there is no benefit really to an aftermarket controller.
