I have scoured SAU and the web and I did not find a answer to this.

I have series 2 AWD auto stag, which is completely stock except for a manual boost controller which I have just put in.

I know I will have a restrictive exhaust system (it is our family wagon, and I like how quiet it is), and I wont get much more power out of it, but it gets up to full boost and power noticeably faster now, and that's all I was after. Handy at the lights ;-) and for overtaking. Off the mark till about 40km per hour, it was slower than the Manual Subaru Outback that I used to have!

Anyhow I am currently running 9psi. Can I go to 10 or should I be running less? Is back pressure going to hurt anything?

Any advice will be muchly appreciated!

Thanks guys. 0.7bar. and 0.8bar is 10 and 11psi. I'm running 9 and will take it up to 10 when it cools a bit in a couple of months, just to play it safe. I don't take it on a track lol, and live in a rural area with bugger all sets of lights, so I dont stomp on it very often, so my SMIC will do the job. Its just nice to have the power there when you need it or want to have a little fun! Just bypassing the boost solenoid with the boost tee and running stock.

I put my boost gauge on before the MBC and (from Memory) found it would boost to 6psi at 2500rpm then switched over to 8psi art 4500rpm.

After MBC I set it to 8psi, and found I got 8psi even before 2500rpm. This alone has made a big difference in power delivery! a couple more PSI and its a different beast. Great bang for buck!

Ill look into a quiet 3inch all the way when I have some money. Its got to make a difference, particularly to the top end power, which my little mod has not gained very much of.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
