I would like to raise my stock boost from spike 17psi hold 15psi to maybe hold 17psi and peak 19psi, I was wondering if the sx manual boost controller was the best thing for me. I know nothing about manual boost controllers I don’t want a digital one cause I do not need what it offers. What do you recommend?

 

get it tuned for what you want.

 

^ so no manual boost controller in your opinion? i am planning reflashing my ecu with snowman in the future but i want this cheap easy way to increase power now. this to me would be like getting a intake or exhaust on. i dont expect much.

 

avcr's are sweet!

 

Unless you have the tuning capability to switch MAPs for high and low boost, a manual controller (DNAs are good, no creep, etc) is the way to go when it comes to "set it and forget it". Just remember than $20 saved on a manual controller could cost you your engine...

 

Manual boost controllers are the cheapest way to screw your engine.

When you get a tune Snowman will adjust your boost to a curve....meaning it will peak around 18-19, but taper back down to 14-15 at redline. A manual boost controller will run whatever boost you set it to all the way till redline..not to mention will get no extra fuel/air, or timing. That's a good way to break a lot of potential shit with a cheap $50 mod.

Snowman tuned is the way to go and you will be very happy. If anything invest in an electronic boost control solenoid, which will actually help him with the tune.

 

what he said.

the only subaru i would even consider throwing a boost controller on would be a 02 WRX. Thats the only car you wont destroy by using one. Anything past that, the ECU wont like it and you'll break something.

 

i agree with blacksti! The avcr has that "shake-n-bake" factor.

 

dont forget you can use a boost control your ecu will adjust between 12 to 15% just dont go stupid

 

not true at all....
