Check with urself:
Do I redline it consecutively?
Do I boot it after sitting in a jam?
Do I push it when weather is really hot?
Do I use full boost for the first 10min from cold start?
Do I use good 98 fuel and not use up the tank?

I find the above situation cause knocking(10x higher combustion chamber pressure) which u dont want at high boost.

Good luck with ur tuning.

using the Perth-WRX mobile app
You guys are both driving stis arent you? I read on nasoic the pistons and compression ratio are different from wrx. Can a non-sti wrx handle the same boost on this basis?
